Screenwriter talks IT: Chapter Two gore & first reactions

Recently, we were all finally hit with the killer trailer for  IT: CHAPTER TWO, director Andy Muschietti's upcoming sequel to his hit adaptation of STEPHEN KING'S IT. The movie looks to be super-freaky times to this here horror fan, but better yet the film's screenwriter Gary Dauberman says that he has seen the movie and he's very happy and very proud on the final product. 

Dauberman says

I have [seen IT: Chapter Two], yes! I’m very, very happy and I’m very, very proud. I don’t know if you can hear the joy in my voice as I try not to answer this question, but I’m very excited for everyone to see it. As a very, very anxious person, I have no anxiety about that movie whatsoever. 

He then goes on speak about that scene Jessica Chastain teased a few months back which evidently contains a record-setting amount of fake blood.

I think that’s Andy pushing it to the brink; he has a great relationship with Chastain. But, yeah, that’s definitely Andy. I know the particular scene you’re talking about, and there’s no way to do it without a ton of blood. Knowing Andy, he always takes things and multiplies them, which is what you want out of your director. It’s pretty incredible.

You can check out the recently released trailer below and then make sure to hit us up and let us know what you think! Meanwhile, here's the synopsis:
