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.
A heist turns nightmarish for Lizzy Caplan (Cobweb) in the offbeat comedy thriller Drag, and the SXSW darling now has an official release date.
Briarcliff Entertainment will release Drag in theaters on January 29, 2027.
The thriller follows “two estranged sisters who attempt to rob a secluded home in rural upstate New York. What begins as a simple burglary spirals into a nightmarish ordeal after one sister throws out her back and becomes immobilized on the second floor. As tensions rise and panic sets in, the sisters are forced into a painful and increasingly absurd fight for survival before the homeowner returns.”
It’s described as “Equal parts thriller and physical comedy,” which “explores sibling rivalry, physical pain, and the uniquely chaotic bonds of family.”
Lucy DeVito (“Little Demon”), John Stamos (“Full House”), and Christine Ko (“Dave”) also star.
The release announcement comes with a new look at Drag, introducing the estranged sisters caught in a heist nightmare.
Drag is co-written and co-directed by Raviv Ullman and Greg Yagolnitzer, marking their feature debut.
The film is produced by Danny DeVito, Lucy DeVito, and Jake DeVito through Jersey Films 2nd Avenue.
Briarcliff CEO Tom Ortenberg called Drag “a brilliantly original film that’s suspenseful, hilarious, and completely unpredictable. The cast led by Lizzy, Lucy, John, and Christine are the magic that makes the concept work. Audiences are in for a huge treat.”
