Writer Promises That ‘IT Chapter Two’ is “Definitely Bloodier Than the First”

In case it wasn’t clear from yesterday’s trailer, a good deal of fake blood was put to good use for Andy Muschietti‘s IT Chapter Two, with Jessica Chastain recently teasing that one scene in the sequel may very well feature more blood than we’ve ever seen in a single scene of a horror movie. That scene, we can only assume, is the one we’ve screen-grabbed for you above.

And in a chat with THR, writer Gary Dauberman confirms Chapter Two will be a bloody mess.

[It’s] definitely bloodier than the first and it is just as scary, if not scarier,” Dauberman told the site.

He added, “The two movies feel like a complete whole. This feels like a natural progression and extension of the first.”

Dauberman also told the site that the murder of Adrian Mellon will be featured in Chapter Two.

It is an iconic scene in the book and one we wanted to include in the movie,” he explained. “It is the first attack in present-day Derry and sets the stage for what Derry has become. It is the influence of Pennywise even while he is hibernating, and it’s pure evil what happens to Adrian. These bullies working through Pennywise was important for us to show.”

Pennywise will return to the big screen on September 6th.

New ‘Sleepy Hollow’ Movie in the Works from Director Lindsey Anderson Beer

Sleepy Hollow movie

Paramount is heading to Sleepy Hollow with a brand new feature film take on the classic Headless Horseman tale, with Lindsey Anderson Beer (Pet Sematary: Bloodlines) announced to direct the movie back in 2022. But is that project still happening, now two years later?

The Hollywood Reporter lets us know this afternoon that Paramount Pictures has renewed its first-look deal with Lindsey Anderson Beer, and one of the projects on the upcoming slate is the aforementioned Sleepy Hollow movie that was originally announced two years ago.

THR details, “Additional projects on the development slate include… Sleepy Hollow with Anderson Beer attached to write, direct, and produce alongside Todd Garner of Broken Road.”

You can learn more about the slate over on The Hollywood Reporter. It also includes a supernatural thriller titled Here Comes the Dark from the writers of Don’t Worry Darling.

The origin of all things Sleepy Hollow is of course Washington Irving’s story “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” which was first published in 1819. Tim Burton adapted the tale for the big screen in 1999, that film starring Johnny Depp as main character Ichabod Crane.

More recently, the FOX series “Sleepy Hollow” was also based on Washington Irving’s tale of Crane and the Headless Horseman. The series lasted four seasons, cancelled in 2017.
