Horror Stephen King's "IT" Part I and Part II

[Pennywise]

Runtime is indeed 165 minutes, with a longer director's cut definitely coming this time with part 2.

It Chapter 2 director confirms epic runtime

This makes me very happy!

IT: 135 minutes
Chapter Two: 165 minutes

I wonder if when Chapter Two comes to home video and digital format, they’ll put together some supercut of both films into a 5+ hour cinematic experience, with slightly better editing and pacing for all of the Chapter One material.

Probably not, but it’s an interesting thought.

 

[Ninjablade]

That’s a nice hefty runtime. Only a little more than a month to go, can’t wait.

 

[Nardz937]

Very happy about the runtime.

 

[Gothamsknight]

Loving that runtime!

 

[Filmfan93]

Yeah, that runtime sounds sweet!

What would be really cool is if they did a super cut that did it’s best to emulate the back-and-forth between the present and the past, like in the book. Maybe it wouldn’t really work but it would be interesting to see them try it.

I’m sure there will be a fan-cut edited that way, but the two films weren’t really designed that way.

I must say, I'm a little concerned to have seen some comments online which are really questioning if the run time is a good idea, if the story justifies it or if the are just padding it out for the sake ofit. I mean you only have to look at the size of the book to know, that yes it does need to be a long film. This isn't some franchise which is being milked into the ground, it's the conclusion of an epic story which has several characters in it. It's personal opinion of course but I think the fact that a horror movie is being allowed this much runtime is something we should be celebrating not complaining about.

People have short attention spans except when it comes to comic book flicks.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Yet they binge hours and hours of some show that should’ve ended seasons ago.

[terry78]

of course it is.

 

[Kane52630]

I can see it at home...

 

[DarkKnight88]

With IT having turned out so good, I’m so curious what Andy muschietti’s version of Pet Sematary was going to be. Hopefully somebody asks him about it when he promotes Chapter II.

Probably a lot better than what we got, and I'm talking about both the 1989 version as well as the 2019 remake.

A new Korean spot popped up, with a glimpse of... SPOILER

 

[MattP]

Yes! I have been hoping that they would include that scene. It would be too good an opportunity to miss.

 

[MOVIELORD101]

What scene? I didn't see anything that wasn't in the newest preview.

It's at 16 seconds.

It's at 16 seconds.

You mean the Paul Bunyan attack? We saw it in previous trailers and set photos.

Andy Muschietti looks like he did it again because this looks first-rate. Also, it appears that they’re gonna show Henry’s arrest. September 6th can't come fast enough.

 

[Gothamsknight]

I'm so ready! just another month left
