We let you guys know a while back that filming had officially begun on director Andres Muschietti's follow up to his hit adaptation of STEPHEN KING'S IT. And today we have your first real look behind-the-scenes of the new Adult Losers Club.
The pic surfaced on social media today and you can check it out below. It features the killer collection of James McAvoy (SPLIT) as Bill, Jessica Chastain (CRIMSON PEAK) as Beverly, Bill Hader (BARRY) as Richie, Isaiah Mustafa (SHADOWRUNNER: THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS) as Mike, Jay Ryan (MARY KILLS PEOPLE) as Ben, and James Ransone (SINISTER, SINISTER 2) as Eddie.
Andy Bean (ALLEGIANT) as Stanley is absent from the photo… but we're just going to skip on by that detail for the sake of those who haven't read the book.
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.
Reprising their roles as the original members of the Losers Club are Jaeden Lieberher as Bill, Wyatt Oleff as Stanley, Sophia Lillis as Beverly, Finn Wolfhard as Richie, Jeremy Ray Taylor as Ben, Chosen Jacobs as Mike, and Jack Dylan Grazer as Eddie.
Muschietti directs from a screenplay by Gary Dauberman (IT, ANNABELLE: CREATION) 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. The behind-the-scenes creative team includes director of photography Checco Varese (THE 33), Oscar-winning production designer Paul D. Austerberry (THE SHAPE OF WATER), editor Jason Ballantine (IT, MAD MAX: FURY ROAD), and Oscar-nominated costume designer Luis Sequeira (THE SHAPE OF WATER, MAMA).
Production will take 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.
