IT Movie via Twitter

Warners showed off footage and a teaser from the second part to Andy Muschiettis uber hit feature take of Stephen Kings It, the sequel zeroing in on the Losers Club as adults, having PTSD over evil clown Pennywise.

We saw older Beverly Marsh (Jessica Chastain) visiting her fathers old apartment where a spooky old lady lives. The apartment is cleaner from what Beverly imagines and while the woman is in the kitchen she retrieves and old love letter from one of her amigos in the Losers Club. Flies appear, a sign that Pennywise is around. “

“No one who ever dies ever really dies,” says the old lady to Beverly with a freaky straight face. She tells Bev her father was in the circus. Bev is suspicious, but its too late the old lady grows monstrous. Cut to teaser of the Losers Club grown up walking through town, reunited. Images of balloons everywhere under a bridge and the last shot of Pennywise saying “Hello”.

Before the footage was shown, Muschietti, who first entered with a bunch of balloons, brought out the entire kid cast from the first It and their adult counterparts.

They were all on stage from Chastain to Bill Hader and James McAvoy as well as the originals kid stars including Sophia Lillis and Finn Wolfhard – the latter who realized he wanted Bill Hader to play him as an adult because “Richie is funny to himself… ” Quickly quipped Hader, “So it was Whos an asshole who laughs at his own jokes?'” Wolfhard clawed some ground back, “Theres that, but in my mind it was, If I could get Richie to be as funny as he can be… and Bill Hader is probably my favorite comic actor.” Hader verified the story in Muschiettis Argentinian accent, “Finn wants you to do this.”

Lillis had a sense that Chastain would play her older characters self because the actress worked with Muschietti on Mama.

McAvoy said it was Dark Phoenix co-star Chastain who first talked to him about the movie, coincidentally the day after hed seen the original for the first time. She said, “The kid wants you to play him and I said Id do it in a heartbeat.”

Muschietti said “From an audience perspective I wanted the adult loseRead More – Source
