[@docmitchell3490]

Just be Swedish .

[@luisSerracin255]

Sissy Spacek seems like such a nice person, I love her performance as Carrie, she is and will always be the only one Carrie , I would love to meet her one day :3 Also Bill has given a great performance in Castle Rock so far.

[@kumudinipictures]

Sissy Spacek is soo cute!!

[@EscargoTouChaud]

And she has the exact same hairdo as in the series!

[@jinxmas]

I've read all the books......this show is brilliant. I am so blown away! Great writing!

[@heavenlyscarlettgrayson4204]

Stephen Kings old publisher. Was a company named Viking...I think its paying Homage..

[@barbiesleftshoe]

Bill seems kinda down in this interview I hope he's okay 😥

[@jbrose40]

Misty xo He is doing ComicCon, and filming IT part 2 so is probably tired.

[@barbiesleftshoe]

@@jbrose40 Ohh yeah could be. I just thought he seemed a lil off.

[@mistythornton4061]

Misty xo -me too he kinda looked like he didn't want to be there

[@Ajspya]

Lol he looks so sleepy

[@aliciaveal1284]

Love love this show. Stephen King is the writer I want to be, and Sissy scared my pants off as a teen. They're all gonna laugh at you 😂

[@pixiechick4367]

bill is drop dead to say the least!!!!!big fan!!

[@christinemoll4701]

2:33... Awwww!!!! ❤

[@chriscook460]

this show is so awesome I was doubtful that this show was going to be any good after watching the mist series(was aweful) but I love how the movie hints of Stephen kings past novels! and there's gore and ghosts ect I can't wait to see where this goes!

[@mickroyster6442]

I knew Melanie was from New Zealand, but never in a millions years after watching Castle Rock, would I think she had an accent!

[@roseandstem8054]

This interviewer must be in training

[@annd.h.1336]

I'm watching, big fan but confusing

[@vi3889]

dude, chill. go to r/iamverysmart where you belong

[@MixalisRed7]

Will i get this show having no knowledge of the novels?

[@UNnamed66]

well, she never said she's a big fan of the novels but most likely a "big fan" of this tv series

[@rejoicemisi8170]

Ann D.H. I think the whole point is for it to be confusing so us as fans can have heated discussion. It’s worked

[@mmafreakful]

Woah Melanie’s accent caught me off guard

[@who_Is_faten_helmi]

Same. i known her for years from Two and a half man and loved her there .. i was shocked by her accent .

[@stellalouella21]

She’s from New Zealand!

[@PowerPuffGurl86]

Me too! I had no idea she had an accent 😮

[@pixiechick4367]

me too.she acted in Rose Red too.

[@jenniecosio3654]

Not confused just wanted to what's next Love this show good luck to all

[@bxlxe5903]

Interviewer was really good.She gave off positive vibes...

[@diomedes1544]

Shawshank, to answer the title question

[@laramaldonado4223]

I love his swedish accent swedish boy im Swedish too

[@ccl7983]

Sissy Spacek is so cute and beautiful especially in the 70s, 80s and 90s. Loved her in Carrie and coal miners daughter

[@jinxmas]

What I want to know is , is all of the "vikings" references connected? Chess pieces, the character Odin, even the name of the town, "Castle" Rock....are they connected in some way?

[@DaVeO52]

Vikings didn't live in castles, but they did raid them.

[@titsonaboar5654]

I bet you have deep or raspy voice

[@duronarnold7684]

Why wasn't Andre Holland there?

[@rhiannamcevoy3098]

The final castle rock book Stephen king wrote was the book “needful things”. This was the last book because the town was completely destroyed. I think it was the most impactful castle rock story and was really hoping it would be touched on in the show but it wasn’t :/

[@osefsadiqi82]

Castle Rock returned in Stephen King's short stories and novellas and the Gwendy's button box trilogy.

[@kkespadaz6066]

where is henry

[@SkinnyLeyendaFlacaLegend]

KK Espadaz she said in the interview he wasn’t able to make it

[@CarlosTorres-oe5ey]

He's missing it's been eleven days lol.

[@spiritual2355]

@@SkinnyLeyendaFlacaLegend he is in every interv for castle rock not there

[@SkinnyLeyendaFlacaLegend]

sukina what?

[@melanieoconnor5777]

Bills bday was 4 days before this was posted

[@lorencobas2940]

Bill Skarsgard the it! He is hot too.

[@drrhelms54]

If you've read all of his books the show makes more sense I think.

[@cpurday9681]

Good show, great cast, terrible interview

[@olliehembrough403]

Nobody answered the question

[@jamiesehdev2663]

Where how can I watch this ?? Ive always been loyal to the “king”😉

[@stephaniecalvert1720]

It's on Hulu.

[@poketcircuitfighter8288]

You can buy the season in amazon or some thing like that

[@amiudcortez-delgado8950]

I came here for Carrie

[@humaneature]

can’t believe shauna shipman, pennywise and carrie white are in the same show 🤯

[@melrhea12]

BILL IS SUCH A GORGEOUS MAN 🥵😻

[@KweenBee37]

Had Bill not done IT yet?

[@viagotanega9898]

I would marry sissy spacek

[@lunarcat632]

this is such a bad interviewer lmao I’d be overwhelmed and excited too though

[@sakurabloom7372]

lunarpark no it’s not

[@Ajspya]

Lol you probably shouldn't say that she can probably see this comment

[@shamare04]

Henry where are you?

[@EscargoTouChaud]

In the box in the caravan :(

[@olean3733]

The host spoke too fast during the interview, giving people a feeling she was nervous and lack of confidence

[@jakethomas3029]

I'm really attracted to Melanie.

[@henryhoover3953]

Fertile af

[@crimson911]

Tf

[@mcdevitt815]

I liked this video but wow what a bullshit click bait title. Of course the question is asked last. The answer is "you don't need to read anything but it would be nice to read Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption".

[@laramaldonado4223]

He looks pissed and sad aww poor booska poopie

[@jakethomas3029]

And Jane is a dime

[@laramaldonado4223]

Marry me bill Skarsgård

[@nagitokomanda4964]

It chapter 2

[@GreenAcresRebecca]

The interviewer is horrible. I had to turn this off before it was even over.

[@Frostyy14--]

So awkward... and the answer to the title question was not helpful at all

[@words0217]

Terrible, waste of time. I appreciate the actors taking the time out but please live up to the title of the video.

[@Ajspya]

Lol yeah the interview was kind of bad

[@tedrohe9048]

booo...fakebook.

[@nagitokomanda4964]

I’m done with the show

[@MickeRamone]

First

[@annikabelle5856]

Bill skarsgard is creepy even in real life.

[@Ajspya]

But he's so kawaii tho >:3~~ *☆♡♤☆*

[@AnaiBendai]

CASTLE ROCK is not what I expected. It's slow - plodding - no horror and just confusing. What a wasted opportunity. This could have been so cool - but the story they chose to tell is just pointless.

[@user-qc6wi3dw5x]

Altho I do like the show, I agree with u it could’ve been alot better. The thought of all of King’s characters coming together in a series sounded out of this world.

[@TheChrisfleury1]

Then maybe you should have what people like to call patience, and wait for the next season to continue the story.

[@AnaiBendai]

Chris - in other words - you admit the first season was slow - plodding - no horror and just confusing and you hope the second season is better.

[@spiritual2355]

Iam lucky i didn't read the book becuse if i did i will not enjoy the show just like you ...i like the show alot

[@Ajspya]

@@spiritual2355 castle rock isn't a book tho...I think
