“Anyone who dies in Derry never really dies.”
Earlier this week, Warner Bros. presented CinemaCon attendees with the first look at this year’s IT: Chapter Two, showing off a scene from the film along with something akin to a teaser trailer. Sadly, footage shown off at CinemaCon tends to stay at CinemaCon, but our pal Jimmy Champane breaks down what was shown off in a new video you’ll find below.
In the scene that was shown at the event, an adult Beverly Marsh (played by Jessica Chastain) returns to her childhood home to find a seemingly nice old woman living there. In her old bedroom, Bev finds the poem Ben gave her when they were kids, but things take a turn for the terrifying when the old woman starts to get real creepy… as well as fully nude.
IT: CHAPTER 2. What the fuck.
Wicked trailer, scary as hell, should be a helluva time. #CinemaCon
