Even with 2 hour, 15 minute and 2 hour, 49 minute runtimes, there’s still a ton of footage from both IT and IT: Chapter Two that did not make it into the theatrical cuts, but as director Andy Muschietti recently teased, director’s cuts of both films are very possible for the future. It’s also possible that we could be seeing a massive supercut of both films put together.
And it’s even possible that entirely new footage that hasn’t even been shot yet will be included in this supercut, if it ends up happening as Muschietti is currently hoping!
“I am thinking of a supercut,” Muschietti told Cinema Blend over the weekend. “Which is basically the two movies told one after the other, adding everything that was lifted from them for length purposes. Great scenes that are more character moments, or things that we had to lift for other reasons. Iām also very excited about shooting extra material.”
“It would probably be around six hours and a half.”
Muschietti made sure to add, “This is only an expression of desire, of course. The supercut is something that is not yet out as an idea. We have to talk about it. But I definitely want to make a supercut with material that nobody has seen because it was lifted from Chapter Two. But also new stuff, new material.”
He also made it clear that the two films wouldn’t be blended together in the editing room as one movie, but rather they’d play one after the other as part of this potential supercut.
