Andy Muschietti is adapting Stephen King’s IT in two parts, with the first film headed our way in September. But how long will the whole saga be, once completed?
Well, if the runtime of this year’s film is any indication, the new adaptation will actually be even longer than the 1990 mini-series.
According to BBFC, this year’s IT is 135-minutes (2 hours, 15 minutes) long.
In the new adaptation…
A group of young kids face their biggest fears when they seek answers to the disappearance of children in their hometown of Derry, Maine. They square off against an evil clown named Pennywise, whose history of murder and violence dates back for centuries.
The kids in peril, the Losers’ Club, include Sophia Lillis, Jaeden Lieberher, Finn Wolfhard, Jack Dylan Grazer, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs and Jeremy Ray Taylor. Javier Botet will play The Leper, and Nicholas Hamilton plays Henry Bowers. The cast also includes Owen Teague, who plays bully Patrick Hocksetter. Bill Skarsgard is our new Pennywise.
The film will be in theaters September 8, 2017.
