All of them return to Derry, except for Stanley, who kills himself out of fear of the creature. Mike Hanlon, the only member of the Losers Club who remained in Derry, calls the other members, Bill Denbrough, Ben Hanscom, Beverly Marsh, Richie Tozier, Eddie Kaspbrak, and Stanley Uris to honor the promise they made 27 years earlier to kill Pennywise if he came back. It kills a man named Adrian Mellon after he and his boyfriend are brutally assaulted by homophobic teens following a carnival. Twenty-seven years after It’s initial defeat, Pennywise returns to Derry, Maine, in 2016. Despite this, it was a box office success, grossing over $473 million worldwide against its $79 million production budget. The film received mixed reviews from critics, who praised its performances (particularly that of Skarsgård and Hader), production design, and themes, but criticized its runtime, pacing, and scares, which were unfavorably compared with its predecessor's. It Chapter Two premiered at the Regency Village Theatre in Los Angeles on August 26, 2019, and was released in the United States on September 6 by Warner Bros. Principal photography began on June 19, 2018, at Pinewood Toronto Studios and on locations in and around Port Hope, Oshawa, and Toronto, and wrapped on October 31. By September 2017, New Line Cinema announced that the film would be released in September 2019, with Dauberman writing the script and Muschietti to direct. Talks for an It sequel began in February 2016. Set in 2016, 27 years after the events of the previous film, the story centers on the Losers Club and their relationships as they reunite to destroy It once and for all. The film stars Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, Jay Ryan, James Ransone, Andy Bean, and Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise. It is the sequel to It (2017) and the second of a two-part adaptation of the 1986 novel It by Stephen King, primarily covering the second chronological half of the book. In the meantime, we'll have another scary clown movie to tide us over: Rob Zombie's deeply unsettling, upcoming 31.It Chapter Two is a 2019 American supernatural horror film directed by Andy Muschietti from a screenplay by Gary Dauberman. We'll have to wait and see about how Skarsgard and Muschietti, along with a cast that includes Jaeden Lieberher, Finn Wolfhard, Jack Dylan Grazer, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs and Jeremy Ray Taylor, handle the material, of course if it even gets made, that is. That was certainly the case with the first take on the material - few people remember the turns of the story, everyone remembers Curry's portrayal. From the few times I've seen the actor, he certainly has a look that could be manipulated in key ways to provide a thoroughly scary Pennywise.ĭon't get me wrong: I have plenty of faith in the director's molding something effective out of It, but I feel it's inescapable that it will ultimately be Skarsgard's monster-clown that leaves its mark on audiences rather than the film itself. So, in this case, the casting of Pennywise matters quite a bit more, and Variety's announcement today that the role has gone to Hemlock Grove star Bill Skarskard, son of Stellan, brother of Alexander, is much more reassuring news than that of Muschietti's involvement. ![]() Though Mama is a fine little horror film, it has almost zero personality outside of its script and cast, whereas Fukunaga has genuine vision, a way of building a distinct visual world, no matter the story that's being told. And frankly, the handing off of the project to Andy Muschietti, the director behind Mama, doesn't sweeten the pot all that much. ![]()
