The skinny: The sequel to the hit Stephen King adaptation brings the Losers Club back to Derry, 27 years later, to take on the evil clown Pennywise (Bill Skarsgard). Some of the heroes’ lives have changed, though the group’s resident foul-mouthed jester Richie Tozier (Hader) is still the same guy. “There are a lot of repressed feelings for Richie. Like a lot of people who are kind of funny, you're hiding other things,” says Hader, who notes that he resembles King in the movie and in real life. “I had a guy come up to me and say, ‘Hey, did you write ‘The Stand’?’ And I said, ‘That's Stephen King, he's twice my age.’ It just makes me feel really bad.”
