Xavier Dolan, whose credits include Tom at the Farm, Heartbeats and Elephant Song, has reportedly been cast in IT: Chapter 2 as Adrian Mellon.
For those who haven’t read the IT novel, Mellon lived in Derry, Maine and was in a relationship with Don Hagarty.
Unfortunately, after attending Derry’s annual fair, the two men were assaulted by three homophobic teens, and Adrian was thrown off the bridge.
From there, Pennywise emerged from the shadows and killed Adrian, and while Don and one of the youths witnessed this, the demonic entity was never publicly mentioned.
