Last night, San Diego Comic Con attendees got treated to the first footage from Andy Muschietti’s IT: Chapter 2, as part of the annual ScareDiego event. Although the footage isn’t online, and probably won’t turn up anytime soon, we can get an insight into what was shown by some tweets posted by those attending.
We can see that the scene debuted includes Bill Hader as Richie and James Ransone as Eddie, not to forget the infamous Pennywise the Clown. As well as the footage, Muschietti has promised to “crank up the horror aspects” for a much scarier sequel, so “bring your adult diapers.” You can see the tweets below:

A bunch of peeks at Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise looking exactly as he did before: creepy as hell! Andy Muschietti says the sequel will be “scarier and more intense” and that we should wear adult diapers to the theater. #ScareDiego @joblocom
