Director Andy Muschietti's upcoming sequel to his hit adaptation of STEPHEN KING'S IT is heading our way this September and I literally couldn't be more excited. Oh, wait, yes I can. Especially after hearing adult Beverly Marsh aka Jessica Chastain talk about how IT: CHAPTER TWO has the most blood that's ever been in a single scene of a horror movie. Chastain was recently a guest on {The Tonight Show} with Jimmy Fallon and teased:
Okay, I'm going to say something, and I think I'm going to be in trouble, but I'm going to do it. It might be a spoiler. But in the movie, there's a scene that someone said on set that it's the most blood that's ever been in a horror film in a scene. And I'll tell you, the next day I was like pulling blood out of my eyeballs.
Pulling blood out of her eyeballs? Nice! You can give the video footage of the section featuring this IT: CHAPTER TWO update below. It doesn't come on until about 2:20 so feel free to fast forward and/or jump ahead. It's worth watching just for how excited Chastain looks. Gotta love this lady!
