Tomorrow writer-director Gary Dauberman's new entry in The Conjuring Universe, ANNABELLE COMES HOME will be unleashed into a theater near you. And today we have word on whether or not writer Gary Dauberman thinks there will ever be spin-off movie based around the recent hit adaptation of Stephen King's IT and IT: CHAPTER TWO.

Dauberman says:

I’m sure there’s interest but I gotta say, we want to be respectful to the material of the book. I don’t think anybody’s over there, in fact I know there’s no one over there going ‘Hey, let’s definitely do this and we could tell this story of what happened at the beaver trapping camp,’ or whatever. While you could [tell that story], and I think it would be cool, I don’t think that’s what people are doing currently if that makes sense. You know what I mean?

He then added:

So yes, to answer your question I think there is room to build on the mythology of It because It has been around from the beginning of time, but I don’t know if there are any plans for it. I was just very happy to tackle the book.

Okay, so there are no plans for IT spin-offs. I guess that's a good thing. Personally I'll take all the IT I can get, but maybe that's just me. Anyhow, you can check out the recently released IT CHAPTER TWO teaser trailer below and then make sure to hit us up and let us know what you think!

Meanwhile, 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 the above-mentioned cast of James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, Jay Ryan, James Ransone, and Andy Bean. 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. 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.
