Bill Hader & Pennywise laugh it up on IT: Chapter Two set

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Director Andres Muschietti is currently filming the follow-up to his hit adaptation of STEPHEN KING'S IT starring, among many others, comedian extraordinaire Bill Hader as the adult version of STRANGER THINGS-star Finn Wolfhard's Richie "Trashmouth" Tozier.

And today we have an all-new look at Hader on-set of IT: CHAPTER TWO and he's laughing it up with his buddy Bill Skarsgard – who plays Pennywise the Dancing Clown. I don't know about you, but I think it's really f*cking cool to see these two going toe-to-toe. Not only am I looking forward to Richie and Pennywise's showdown as a fan of the book, but I'm also looking forward to seeing Hader and Skarsgard bring it all to life!

The pics come to us from Best of Bill Hader over on Twitter. You can check out the tweet below and then let us know what you think! Here's the new film's semi-synopsis:

Because every 27 years evil revisits the town of Derry, Maine, IT CHAPTER TWO brings the characters—who’ve long since gone their separate ways—back together as adults, nearly three decades after the events of the first film. 

Bill Skarsgård returns in the seminal role of Pennywise along with James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, Jay Ryan, James Ransone, and Andy Bean. Reprising their roles as the original members of the Losers Club are Jaeden Lieberher, Wyatt Oleff, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Chosen Jacobs, and Jack Dylan Grazer.

Muschietti directs from a screenplay by Gary Dauberman based on the novel by Stephen King. Barbara Muschietti, Dan Lin, and Roy Lee are producing the film. Marty Ewing, Seth Grahame-Smith, and David Katzenberg are the executive producers. Production is currently taking place in Toronto, Canada. IT CHAPTER TWO is a New Line Cinema production. It will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures on September 6, 2019.
