Stephen King had IT: Chapter Two add an all-new scene

Director Andy Muschietti's adaptation of Stephen King's IT: CHAPTER TWO will be hitting a movie theater near you in just a few shorts weeks. And today we're hearing that King himself asked the filmmakers this time around to ADD a scene to the adaptation. Yes, while speaking with Total Film, Andy Muschietti explained that when King read the first draft of the sequel, he requested the addition of "one all-new scene."

And as you might imagine, they didn't tell Stephen King no.

What scene is it that King asked the IT: CHAPTER TWO team to add? No one knows at this point in time, but hopefully, we'll find out once the movie has been unleashed. I don't know about you but I can't wait to find out! Meanwhile, IT: CHAPTER TWO 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 predict the film could make as much as $150 million opening weekend. 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 James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, Jay Ryan, James Ransone, and Andy Bean as the adult Loser's Club. 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. Andy 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.
