We’re now less than two months(!) away from the release of Andy Muschietti‘s IT: Chapter Two, one of the most anticipated horror movies in years. The film will reunite the Losers Club as adults in the present day, bringing them back into battle with Pennywise nearly 30 years after they defeated him for the first time. Via EW today, we’ve got new images and info.
In this year’s sequel, Mike (Isaiah Mustafa) is the only member of the group who has stayed behind in Derry, and he brings the gang back together to defeat Pennywise once and for all.
“I think that everything that people love from the first one, like the humor and the emotions and the horror, will all be there… and cranked up, in some cases,” Muschietti told the site.
The returning Bill Skarsgård, meanwhile, teased an even scarier Pennywise this time around: “He’s scarier and he’s angrier. There’s a couple of very brutal things in the film.”
