Composer calls IT: Chapter Two Andy Muschietti’s masterpiece

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

It was just yesterday we passed along the news that director Andy Muschietti's adaptation of Stephen King's IT: CHAPTER TWO had snagged an R-rating. And today we have word via the film's composer Benjamin Wallfisch that the new movie is Muschietti's masterpiece.

Composer Benjamin Wallfisch:

IT’s a really ambitious film. It’s Andy [Muschietti]’s masterpiece, it’s kind of growing from the first movie in a way which I dunno, I think none of us expected when we first started working on it. It’s incredibly powerful and emotional movie and it brings a cathartic end to this saga… I think you’re really gonna love it.

Bring it on!

As mentioned above, IT: CHAPTER TWO just snagged an R-rating via the MPAA for "disturbing violent content and bloody images throughout, pervasive language, and some crude sexual material." Box-office analysts are predicting the film could make as much as $150 million opening weekend. Let's make that happen. In the meantime, here's the synopsis:

Twenty-seven years after the horrific events of the summer of 1989, It (Bill Skarsgård) returns. The Losers' Club fulfills their promises and returns to Derry to put an end to the shape-shifting beast once and for all.

Bill Skarsgård returns in the seminal role of Pennywise along with the above-mentioned cast of 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 produce while Marty Ewing, Seth Grahame-Smith, and David Katzenberg are the executive producers. IT CHAPTER TWO will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. on September 6, 2019.
