Neat little story beats gleamed from this. Was Henry’s arrest shot for Chapter 1, and they decided to move it here, or is this a new shoot?

I have a feeling a lot of the things they shot for 1 and cut, ended up here as flashbacks.

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

I don't recall seeing the bench get smashed . I may have missed some but the only footage I had seen previously was Pennywise hovering over the statue with balloons or talking to Richie and Richie running away.

I love that they are marketing this as some sort of epic conclusion to a grand story rather than just another typical horror film.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Other than Hannibal, I can’t think of a horror sequel with this much hype. Especially with the in film 27 years gap.

So, Alamo Drafthouse is having a clown only showing. So, you know, may want to avoid them that night...

Which is appropriate. If they stick to the book, new viewers will realize It isn't just a killer monster...It's a god.

As a non-clown, I find this a discrimination and may protest.

It wouldn't surprise me if Bev's father the pedophile shows up again

Visual effects are starting to take on a life of their own, by digitally recreating other people’s pasts. It’s been used to de-age Kurt Russell in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, to recreate Carrie Fisher’s Princess Leia for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, and to transform Will Smith into a younger clone of himself for Gemini Man. Now, it’s making children look younger for It: Chapter 2.

In an interview with Total Film (via Syfy), director Andy Muschietti shared more on how the sequel to 2017's horror film It plans to bring the children back to Derry, Maine. It was previously revealed that the original Losers Club would reprise their roles in a series of flashbacks that represent the adults regaining their lost memories, since leaving Derry forces you to forget Pennywise. But it’s been two years since the first film, and those gosh darned kid actors have that pesky habit of getting older.


The sequel to the surprise horror smash It sees the return of the Losers Club, but not like we’ve…

Usually, shows and films expect audiences to be more forgiving—like how the kids in Stranger Things have clearly outgrown their role’s ages, but you let it go because, well, it’s a TV show. But now, technology is replacing suspension of disbelief. Muschietti revealed that the movie will digitally de-age the kids so they look like their 2017 selves—and it wasn’t a last-minute decision:

From the beginning, we knew that that would be part of the budget—the visual effects to address that. So, we’re going to de-age the kids.

 

[DarkKnight88]

Heh, I was wondering that actually how they pulled off the kids looking the same since by the time they filmed the second one most of them had grown (ie Stranger Things 3, Shazam etc).

Damn, Italy. Calm down. That's horrifying.

 

[Drizzle]

.....Does Gary Busey play Pennywise in the Italian version of It?

 

[Art Vandelay]

Without makeup, he just looks like Jack Nicholson.

Anyone go to the release of Chapter One tonight? Any reports on what the 8 minutes of footage from Chapter Two is?

 

[Sawyer]

I just saw two little snippets online

Spoiler

One was at the Chinese restaurant and Richie/Eddie have a back and forth about Eddie getting married. The other was Ben hugging Beverly, saying "It's been so long" and flashing back to her signing his yearbook in the first movie.

I saw the Chinese Restaurant scene online, which is fairly substantial. By which I mean, even if it was edited for the preview, it feels long enough to work as a complete scene. But I fear I'm in for another disappointment with this movie just based on what I saw. It's not that the acting was bad, far from it. It's that it looks like another case of the writers wanting to change up from the source material, in a way I feel is for the worse.

My biggest gripe is how standoffish they've made Bill with Mike. In the book, and even the mini series, there is a genuine warmth between the two when they reunite. This is particularly disappointing with Bill since he's arguably the reason they got into that mess.The problem lies in the choice to have the Losers forget everything. They appear to remember as much as Eddie did in the mini series, which is to say, it looks like they remember making a promise, but that's it. It's Mike that has to clue then in on everything.

I get that the dinner scene is very exposition heavy, but I also feel it's the most important "adult" scene in the story. But the footage makes it feel very streamlined, and I'm hoping that's not the case.

Liberties and all that.

Stephen King Came Up With an All-New Scene for It Chapter Two

Stephen King might not have had any involvement in 2017’s It adaptation, but it looks like the famed horror author did provide some input for its sequel—this year’s It Chapter Two.

Director Andy Muschietti, who helmed the first film and this year’s follow-up, said during a recent interview that after finding out about King’s rave review for It Chapter One, he felt emboldened to reach out to the author himself while working on Chapter Two. “It was absolutely huge,” Muschietti said. “For me, it would be unthinkable when I was 12 or 13.” Apparently, King read a first draft of the new film, made some notes, and suggested adding “one all-new scene” that is original to the film. (Meaning, it’s not featured in the original novel or previous adaptations.)
