It
ITdirector Andy Muschietti says the sequel to the megahit horror thriller will sport pregnant flashbacks to the 1989 version of The Losers ' Club . base on Stephen King ’s classic best - trafficker , ITsmashed records on its way to commit inmore than $ 123 million at the domestic box officethis past weekend .
Coming 27 years after the firstITadaptation planted nightmares of Pennywise the Dancing Clown ( Tim Curry ) as a two - part TV miniseries , Muschietti ’s translation ofITdiffers from the original version in that it only centre on one-half of King ’s 1,100 - plus page novel - as it state the troth of The Losers ' Club ’s members and their encounters with Pennywise ( Bill Skarsgard ) as kids . The boob tube miniseries , on the impudent side , focused on both the nipper and grownup versions of the outcasts .
Whileplans for theITsequelhave been discuss and the film look its official greenlight from Warner Bros. , Andy Muschietti and his producer sister , Barbara Muschietti , are already unwrap details of the second chapter ofIT- and luckily for fans of the actors who play the member of The Losers ' Club in the first film , they ’ll get to see them again to some degree in the continuation . In an interview withEWon Monday , Andy Muschietti break the news show of the child actors ’ return to the sequel , say :
“ On the second moving-picture show , that dialogue between timeline will be more present . If we ’re telling the tale of adults , we are going to have flashbacks that take us back to the ‘ fourscore and inform the floor in the present day . ”
The good affair for the youngITcast - which includes Jaeden Lieberher ( Bill ) , Sophia Lillis ( Beverly ) , Finn Wolfhard ( Ritchie ) , Jeremy Ray Taylor ( Ben ) , Chosen Jacobs ( Mike ) , Wyatt Oleff ( Stanley ) and Jack Dylan Grazer ( Eddie ) - is that their appearance will be more than brief cameos . Andy Muschietti say , in fact,“They’re a very grown part of the action”in the events that extend to the grownup adaptation of the characters .
On the downside , they ’re all adolescent , which means the windowpane to take them as the same age as they appear in the firstITis very short . That think while a sequel is in spades chance , it needs to go into yield as presently as potential , says Barbara Muschietti . She tellsEW :
“ The hope is we ’ll discover the best way soon , because it ’s also important for Andy to get flashbacks with the Thomas Kyd , who are growing very fast . They are an significant component in the next pic . ”
While it appears that the Muschiettis need to jumpstart right into production on theITsequel , fans should n’t have to fear that the motion-picture show will suffer because of it . The filmmaking siblings clearly put down the project with the intent of making two films , so any creative decision for chapter 2 wo n’t be made haphazardly . And while it feels like a pressure site to get the new cast back into production presently , the Muschiettis will have the comfort of doing so knowing that their young corps de ballet has incredible alchemy , which has been validated by the celluloid ’s astral reviews and monster reception at the box office staff .
If there will be any stumbling blocks , it will be the awkward job of pick which actors will play theadult fellow member of the Losers Club- since A - listers are probably already vying for considerateness to be a part of one of the bigger phenomenons to strike Hollywood in awhile .
