Stephen King Praises IT: Chapter 2’s “Epic” Finale!

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Like most of you, I absolutely cannot wait for IT: CHAPTER 2 to float into theaters on September 6th! You know, one of the main reasons why both IT films have been able to create such positive hype is how pleased Stephen King is with the adaptation of his source material. The author has just made public another major positive regarding CHAPTER 2’s final battle between the losers club and Pennywise. Look here:

IT CHAPTER 2: The final confrontation is epic.

Short and to the point! Sold! I also heard the runtime for the sequel will be around 165 minutes! I’ll take that! And we’re only a little over a month away! Here’s a refresher on the plot:

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.  James McAvoy (“Split,” upcoming “Glass”) stars as Bill, Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain (“Zero Dark Thirty,” “Mama”) as Beverly, Bill Hader (HBO’s “Barry,” “The Skeleton Twins”) as Richie, Isaiah Mustafa (TV’s “Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments”) as Mike, Jay Ryan (TV’s “Mary Kills People”) as Ben, James Ransone (HBO’s “The Wire”) as Eddie, and Bill Skarsgård returning in the seminal role of Pennywise.  Andy Bean (“Allegiant,” Starz’ “Power”) plays Stanley, and reprising their roles as the original members of the Losers Club are Jaeden Martell 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.
