Second Half of New ‘It’ Adaptation Already Filming This Month?
Director Andy Muschietti is unleashing the first half of his two-film adaptation of Stephen King’s It this coming September, and we had been under the assumption that the second film would be entirely dependent on the box office success of the first. We figured cameras wouldn’t start rolling unless/until box office numbers came in, but it seems we were quite wrong about that.
A newly-updated listing on the very often reliable website My Entertainment World has just indicated that filming will begin March 17, 2017 on the second film, under the secret title Accordion. One might ascertain that this means the first film is undergoing some re-shoots before the release later this year, but the plot listed certainly indicates otherwise…
A promise made twenty-eight years ago calls seven adults to reunite in Derry, Maine, where as teenagers they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city’s children. Unsure that their Losers Club had vanquished the creature all those years ago, the seven had vowed to return to Derry if IT should ever reappear.
The filming location is listed as Toronto, Canada, where the first part was also shot.
From what we understand, a teaser for the first film is coming soon.
In theaters September 8, 2017, part one is set “in a small town in Maine, where seven children known as The Losers’ Club come face to face with life problems, bullies, and a monster that takes the shape of a clown called Pennywise.“
Bill Skarsgard stars as Pennywise, the sewer-dwelling monster.
Jaeden Lieberher, Finn Wolfhard, Nicholas Hamilton, Jack Dylan Grazer, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs, and Jeremy Ray Taylor are the modern Losers’ Club.
Creature performer Javier Botet will play The Leper, and Owen Teague plays Patrick Hocksetter, a bully who torment the Losers’ Club.
Dan Lin, Roy Lee, Seth Grahame-Smith, David Katzenberg, and Barbara Muschietti produce.
After making $230 million at the worldwide box office, this year’s franchise reboot Scary Movie is now headed home to Digital, and a brand new Extended Cut is coming with it!
Scary Movie: Extended Cut hits Digital on Tuesday, July 21, 2026.
This new cut promises “Extended scenes and alternate cuts.”
“The jokes just got even more unhinged — the Extended Cut throws more laughs, more madness, and all-new scenes for a franchise that has never met a line it wouldn’t cross.”
We don’t know too much about Scary Movie: Extended Cut at this time, but we did recently hear that additional Terrifier spoof footage was one thing left on the cutting room floor.
Fedor Steer’s appearance as Artie Claus is brief in Scary Movie, but he noted in an Instagram post that more footage was shot for the Terrifier 3 spoof scene. Steer explained, “Sadly, the scene where I cut off [the mall Santa’s] arms and head and twirl in the fountain of blood spewing from his neck didn’t make the movie. Just trust me when I tell you it was awesome!”
We also know that a bit featuring Smile parody Ghostface masks was cut from the film.
Scary Movie is listed for DVD and Blu-ray release on September 22, 2026.
Twenty-six years after the original massacre, Cindy, Brenda, Shorty, and Ray get dragged back into the chaos by a brand-new masked killer who clearly never learned when to quit.
Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans, Anna Faris, and Regina Hall reunite for an outrageous return to the franchise’s original roots, where every target is fair game.
Michael Tiddes (A Haunted House) directed the new Scary Movie.
