IT: Chapter 2 has gotten underway pretty quickly, which isn’t much of a surprise, considering the fact that the studio made a lot of money on the first film, and they obviously don’t want the child actors from the first film to grow up on them. Fans of the film are going to be pretty happy to learn that production on the film has officially began, as actor James McAvoy confirmed on Instagram:
The adult Losers Club cast had recently been confirmed, so this was expected. Still, it’s probably nice to know, as many fans can’t wait to see the return of Pennywise the Clown. Bill Skarsgård recently spoke about the film, saying it will be much different:
“…It’s going to be a very different experience this time around, just given the fact that you have all of these incredible, seasoned actors to play against, as opposed to having all the kids. So it’s going to be a different experience for sure. But I’m looking forward to it.”
Director Andy Muschietti has also issued a warning, saying:
“They’re gonna find a lot of things that resemble the first one, the humor, the emotion, the horror…..People are very invested emotionally in the characters of the story. At the end of the first one, there’s a promise of something else…It’s gonna be scarier. It’s gonna be a more intense experience. So, bring your adult diapers to the theater.”
We’ll be sure to bring our diapers with us when the film hits theaters on September 6th, 2019.
