A brand new featurette for Andy Muschietti‘s IT: Chapter Two has arrived today, featuring cast interviews and even several bits of new footage that we hadn’t seen before.
Muschietti promises “cranked up horror” in the brand new featurette, which you can check out below, a claim backed up by the film’s hard “R” rating for “disturbing violent content and bloody images throughout, pervasive language, and some crude sexual material.” With an adult cast to work with this time, it sounds like Muschietti is pulling absolutely no punches!
Stephen King was also interviewed for the behind-the-scenes featurette.
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 (Mama) stars as Beverly Marsh, James McAvoy (Glass) as Bill Denbrough, Bill Hader (HBO’s “Barry,”) as Richie Tozier, Isaiah Mustafa (“Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments”) as Mike Hanlon, Jay Ryan (“Mary Kills People”) as Ben Hanscom, James Ransone (“The Wire”) as Eddie Kaspbrak, and Andy Bean (“Swamp Thing”) as Stanley Uris.
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.
Pennywise will return in theaters and IMAX worldwide on September 6, 2019.
