Director Andres Muschietti's upcoming adaptation of Stephen King's IT: CHAPTER TWO starring Jessica Chastain, James McAvoy, and Bill Hader will be creeping its creepy-ass into your local multiplex this September. Last week we got word via producer Barbara Muschietti that filming has wrapped on the sequel, and today we have some heartfelt words from the film's director himself on finishing up the final film.

IT chapter 2 was an 86-day roller coaster ride. Never had so much fun making movies like this one. I had a relentless and inspired crew who believed in this adventure as much as I did and a cast that put their heart and soul behind every second of performance. A huge thank you to all of them and also to my producer and sister who dealt with all the shit that a production like this has reserved for producers. And last but not least , the fans who day by day boosted our spirits by reminding us how much this story means to them. Thank you and Love to you all!
You can check out his post below and then make sure to hit us up and let us know how excited you are for IT: CHAPTER TWO below! Hopefully, the fact that the film just wrapped principal photography means we will be seeing at least a teaser trailer soon. We've already shared a teaser poster (which you can see again below) so here's hoping some fresh footage is headed our way with one of Warners Bros.' upcoming holiday releases, such as James Wan's AQUAMAN, or something. THAT'D surprise all the kiddos showing up for some underwater DC adventures, huh?
Until then, here's the semi-synopsis for IT: CHAPTER TWO:
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 McAvoy, 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. IT CHAPTER TWO will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures on September 6, 2019.
