‘Castle Rock’ sets modernized for upcoming filming

Facades that were once made to look old-fashioned for “Castle Rock,” a series inspired by the works of horror writer Stephen King, were jazzed up with vibrant colors on Tuesday and the fake storefronts depicted businesses specializing in sushi, yoga and other commodities that might appeal to consumers in the 21st century.

Bill Skarsgard’s Castle Rock Character Connects the Series to Shawshank IT star 

Bill Skarsgard is set to play an inmate in Shawshank Prison on the upcoming Hulu series Castle Rock. 

Formerly best known for starring in the Netflix horror series Hemlock Grove, the 27-year-old Skarsgard rocketed to superstardom this fall for his portrayal of iconic villain Pennywise the Dancing Clown in director Andy Muschietti’s blockbuster theatrical adaptation of Stephen King’s gargantuan novel. 

A smash with both critics and audiences, IT has so far grossed more than $650 million worldwide on a budget of only $35 million.

Castle Rock is of course also based on the work of King, although it’s not an adaptation of any particular story. Instead, Castle Rock is an original drama set within the established King multiverse, and will feature references and ties to famous King tales. The titular town is a recurring setting for King’s fiction, appearing in stories like The Dead Zone, Cujo, and Needful Things.
