Barbara Muschietti Promises Director’s Cut of ‘IT: Chapter Two’ With “Amazing Scenes” Not in Theaters
We’ve still never actually seen the once-promised Director’s Cut of Andy Muschietti’s IT, but in a new chat with Digital Spy this week, producer Barbara Muschietti does promise that a Director’s Cut of IT: Chapter Two is definitely happening.
“We will put out a director’s cut because this time it definitely merits it,” Muschietti told the site, suggesting that a Director’s Cut of IT ended up being unnecessary.
She continued, “We have some amazing scenes that didn’t make it into the movie. You have to make choices sometimes and some things cannot be in this theatrical release but are definitely worthy of people seeing them at a later date.”
Director Andy Muschietti, meanwhile, assured the site that none of the scary bits were cut from Chapter Two. He promised, “Everything that is too scary is in the movie.”
Pennywise will return in theaters and IMAX worldwide on September 6, 2019.
Christopher Landon (Happy Death Day, Freaky) is staying busy here in 2024, directing not only the werewolf movie Big Bad but also an upcoming thriller titled Drop.
The project for Blumhouse and Platinum Dunes is being described as a “fast-paced thriller,” and Deadline reports today that Violett Beane (Truth or Dare) has joined the cast.
Newcomer Jacob Robinson has also signed on to star in the mysterious thriller. Previously announced, Meghann Fahy (“White Lotus”) will be leading the cast.
Landon recently teased on Twitter, “This is my love letter to DePalma.”
Jillian Jacobs and Chris Roach wrote the script.
Michael Bay, Jason Blum, Brad Fuller and Cameron Fuller — “who brought the script in to Platinum Dunes” — are producing the upcoming Drop. Sam Lerner is an executive producer.
THR notes, “The film is a Platinum Dunes and Blumhouse production for Universal.”
