With just four months left before the film is released, the first trailer for Andy Muschietti‘s IT Chapter Two has arrived today, giving us our first real taste of this year’s sequel.
The trailer begins with Jessica Chastain’s Beverly Marsh returning to her childhood home in Derry, where she encounters a strange woman with a connection to Pennywise.
After that full scene, the trailer plays out much more like a traditional teaser, with a collage of clips showing off the grown-up Loser’s Club and re-introducing their nemesis.
As expected, this looks INCREDIBLE, feeling like an epic conclusion we’ve been waiting many, many years for. In reality, it’s only been two years since the release of IT, but it’s a testament to how good that movie was that its follow-up is feeling like the Avengers: Endgame of horror movies with only a couple years of buildup. For horror fans, this is event cinema.
You’ll find the trailer below!
Because every 27 years evil revisits the town of Derry, Maine, “It Chapter Two” brings the characters—who’ve long since gone their separate ways—back together as adults, nearly three decades after the events of the first film.
Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain (“Zero Dark Thirty,” “Mama”) stars as Beverly, James McAvoy (“Split,” upcoming “Glass”) as Bill, Bill Hader (HBO’s “Barry,” “The Skeleton Twins”) as Richie, Isaiah Mustafa (TV’s “Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments”) as Mike, Jay Ryan (TV’s “Mary Kills People”) as Ben, James Ransone (HBO’s “The Wire”) as Eddie, and Andy Bean (“Allegiant,” Starz’ “Power”) as Stanley.
Reprising their roles as the original members of the Losers Club are Jaeden Martell as Bill, Wyatt Oleff as Stanley, Jack Dylan Grazer as Eddie, Finn Wolfhard as Richie, Sophia Lillis as Beverly, Chosen Jacobs as Mike, and Jeremy Ray Taylor as Ben. Bill Skarsgård returns in the seminal role of Pennywise.
Muschietti directed the film from a screenplay by Gary Dauberman (“IT,” “Annabelle: Creation”) based on the novel IT by Stephen King. Barbara Muschietti, Dan Lin and Roy Lee produced the film, with Marty Ewing, Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg serving as the executive producers.
The behind-the-scenes creative team included director of photography Checco Varese (“The 33”), Oscar-winning production designer Paul Denham Austerberry (“The Shape of Water”), editor Jason Ballantine (“IT,” “Mad Max: Fury Road”), and Oscar-nominated costume designer Luis Sequeira (“The Shape of Water,” “Mama”). The music is by Benjamin Wallfisch (“Shazam!,” “Blade Runner 2049,” “IT”).
The film is slated for release in theaters and IMAX worldwide on September 6, 2019.
