It Chapter Two is a 2019 American supernatural horror film and the sequel to the 2017 film It, both based on the 1986 novel It by Stephen King. The film is directed by Andy Muschietti and written by Gary Dauberman. Set in 2016, 27 years after the events depicted in the first film, it stars James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain, Bill Hader, Isaiah Mustafa, Jay Ryan, James Ransone, and Andy Bean as the adult versions of the Losers Club. Jaeden Martell, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, Chosen Jacobs, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Jack Dylan Grazer, and Wyatt Oleff reprise their roles as the younger Losers, while Bill Skarsgård also returns as Pennywise the Dancing Clown.

Talks for an IT sequel began in February 2016. By September 2017, New Line Cinema announced the sequel would be released in September 2019, with Dauberman writing the script and Muschietti expected to direct. Principal photography began in June 2018, at Pinewood Toronto Studios and on locations in and around Port Hope, Oshawa, and Toronto, Ontario, and wrapped on October 31, 2018. The film was produced by New Line Cinema and Vertigo Entertainment.

It Chapter Two premiered at the Regency Village Theater in Los Angeles on August 26, 2019, and was theatrically released in the United States by Warner Bros. Pictures on September 6, 2019. Much like its predecessor, It Chapter Two received praise from critics for its acting (particularly Hader and Skarsgård), themes, and faithfulness to the novel, though criticism was aimed at its runtime and lack of scares compared to its predecessor.[3]

Plot

In 2016, in Derry, Maine, a young gay man named Adrian Mellon visits the local Carnival with his boyfriend, Don Hagarty. A youth gang, lead by John "Webby" Garton, shout homophobic slurs. Adrian and Don leave the carnival, but are ambushed by the gang and severely beaten. Adrian is thrown off of the bridge into the water below. In the water, he notices Pennywise near the edge offering help. Don catches up to Adrian, but not before he witnesses Pennywise bite Adrian's chest, removing his heart.

Mike Hanlon, the only member of the Losers' Club to have stayed in Derry, overhears the incident on a police scanner and rushes to the scene. Upon realizing that It has resurfaced, Mike calls the members of the Losers back to Derry.

The remaining Losers, now grown up and in their late-thirties have all forgotten the trauma of their childhoods and the memories of each other. Bill Denbrough is a successful author and screenwriter who often gets criticised for his stories' endings. Beverly Marsh lives a glamorous life as a fashion designer but endures an abusive relationship with her husband Tom Rogan. Ben Hanscom has lost weight to become a fit and successful architect. Richie Tozier has become a famous stand-up comedian. Eddie Kaspbrak is a risk assessor with an overbearing wife and Stanley Uris is a partner in a large accounting firm. All are deeply disturbed by the phonecall from Mike, but reluctantly agree to return to Derry, save for Stanley, who commits suicide.

The remaining members of the Losers' meet at a local Chinese restaurant and bond over old memories, while sharing stories of their new lives. When opening fortune cookies, they are horrified to find a cryptic phrase that reads "Guess Stanley Could Not Cut It". Soon after, the remaining fortune cookies begin opening, revealing disturbing monstrosities inside including a spider with a baby's head, a one-winged bat, and an unborn bird covered in blood.

Disgusted, Richie smashes a chair on the table and, after Mike reveals the real reason why he called them back to Derry, Richie and Eddie decide to leave. Bill comes with Mike back to his house, who drugs Bill's water with special properties that help Mike explain what he has learned about Derry over the years. Mike also reveals that he met with a Native American tribe who showed him the Ritual of Chüd, a way of destroying It once and for all. Both Bill and Mike return to the group's hotel, convincing Richie and Eddie to stay and finish what they started.

Mike says that in order for the ritual to work, each Loser must have an artifact from their past to place in the ancient pottery. Beverly goes back to her old house and finds a pack of cigarettes she hid as a chid, in addition to Ben's love letter, before being attacked by Pennywise masquerading as a monstrous old lady named Mrs. Kersh. Bill goes to the sewer where Georgie was killed and recovers his paper boat before meeting a young boy on a skateboard named Dean, who tells Bill that he lives in his old house and often hears voices in the shower drains. Bill tells Dean to leave Derry and never come back but the boy refuses, saying that he is heading for the carnival. Ben goes back to the town's high school and finds his old yearbook page, which Beverly was the only person to sign. Eddie goes to a pharmacy and recovers an inhaler where he sees his mother tied up being viciously assaulted by a Leper in the basement. Richie goes to an abandoned arcade where he finds a game token, which he remembers a bad memory of him being taunted for his sexuality before being attacked by a giant Paul Bunyan statue. The Losers use a shower cap from their clubhouse as a placement for Stan, and Mike finds a rock that started their fight against Henry Bowers and his gang.

Meanwhile, Henry Bowers is visited by Patrick Hockstetter in a mental hospital where he has resided since the Losers' attack nearly 30 years prior. Bowers kills a guard and escapes, later ambushing the Losers at their hotel before stabbing Eddie in the face. Eddie removes the knife and fights Henry, but he escapes before Ben and Beverly can catch him. Bill finds a message from Pennywise alluding to Dean, and realizes that Pennywise is going after him at the carnival. Bill arrives and chases Dean into a hall of mirrors, but is too late, as he watches Pennywise break through the glass and violently kills Dean.

Bill, traumatized by his failure to save both Georgie and Dean, returns with a mission to murder It himself. The rest of the Losers, after killing Henry, follow Bill to the abandoned Neibolt house. Venturing into the sewers and making their way into a chasm, Mike sets up the steps necessary for the Ritual of Chüd, including burning the artifacts they gathered from their old memories.

Mike instructs the others to chant a phrase, during which It's "deadlights" appear and make their way into the pottery. It seems to trap them, but a red balloon grows under the lid and out from the pottery, getting larger in size until it pops, revealing a giant version of Pennywise with spider-like legs and blades on the ends of them. The Losers are thrust into nightmarish scenarios in which they are forced to escape from, resembling memories from old places in Derry they spent time in.

Bill is forced to confront the fact that he pretended to be sick on the day of Georgie's death, inadvertently causing it, while Beverly finally realizes it was Ben who wrote her that letter years ago. Richie is caught by the deadlights, but Eddie saves him; however, Eddie is impaled and killed by Pennywise shortly after.

The Losers regroup and realize Pennywise can be killed if they make him feel smaller than he really is. The Losers insult him and make him physically grow smaller and weaker, until they are able to tear out his heart and crush it together. Richie tearfully tries to save Eddie, but is held back by the others. The remaining Losers return to the quarry where they once swam together, and Beverly and Ben share a kiss.

In the aftermath of destroying It, Bill begins to write a new book while Mike is moving out of Derry. Bill is told by Mike about a letter from Stan that he wrote to every member of the Losers' Club before his death, explaining why he did it. Meanwhile, Ben and Beverly are in a relationship and Richie returns to the bridge where he had once carved the initials of him and another person, now revealed to be Eddie. Richie re-carves them before leaving.

Production

Development

On February 16, 2016, producer Roy Lee, in an interview with Collider, mentioned a second film, remarking, "[Dauberman] wrote the most recent draft working with [Muschietti], so it's being envisioned as two movies".[11]

On July 19, 2017, Muschietti revealed that the plan is to get production underway for the sequel to It next spring, adding,[12][13] "We'll probably have a script for the second part in January [2018]. Ideally, we would start prep in March. Part one is only about the kids. Part two is about these characters 27 years later as adults, with flashbacks to 1989 when they were kids."[14][15]

On July 21, 2017, Muschietti spoke of looking forward to having a dialogue in the second film that does not exist within the first, stating, "... it seems like we're going to do it. It's the second half, it's not a sequel. It's the second half and it's very connected to the first one."[16][17] Muschietti confirmed that two cut scenes from the first film will hopefully be included in the second, one of which being the fire at the Black Spot from the book.[18]

On September 25, 2017, New Line Cinema announced that the sequel would be released on September 6, 2019,[19] with Gary Dauberman[20] and Jeffrey Jurgensen[21] writing the script. Andy Muschietti was also expected to return to direct the sequel.[22]

Casting

In an interview in July 2017, the child actors from the first film were asked which actors they would choose to play them in the sequel. Sophia Lillis chose Jessica Chastain and Finn Wolfhard chose Bill Hader,[23] both of whom would end up cast in those roles.

In September 2017, Muschietti and his sister mentioned that Chastain would be their top choice to play the adult version of Beverly Marsh.[24] In November 2017, Chastain herself expressed interest in the project.[25] Finally, in February 2018, Chastain officially joined the cast to portray the character,[26] making the film her second collaboration with Muschietti after Mama. By April 2018, Hader and James McAvoy were in talks to join the cast to play adult versions of Richie Tozier and Bill Denbrough respectively.[4] In May 2018, James Ransone, Andy Bean, and Jay Ryan joined the cast to portray adult versions of Eddie Kaspbrak, Stanley Uris, and Ben Hanscom respectively.[7][27][5]

In June 2018, Isaiah Mustafa joined the cast to portray the adult version of Mike Hanlon, while Xavier Dolan and Will Beinbrink were also cast as Adrian Mellon and Tom Rogan respectively.[6][9] Later, Teach Grant was cast to play the adult version of Henry Bowers, previously played by Nicholas Hamilton in the first film, and Jess Weixler also joined the film to play Bill's wife.[8] This also marks the second collaboration between McAvoy, Chastain, Hader, Weixler and Beinbrink after The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby. In September 2018, it was revealed that Javier Botet would appear in the film in an undisclosed role.[28]

Filming

Principal photography on the film began on June 19, 2018,[29] at Pinewood Toronto Studios and on locations in and around Port Hope,[30] Oshawa[31] and Toronto, Ontario, and wrapped on October 30, 2018.[32][33]

Post-production

The visual effects were provided by Atomic Arts and Method Studios, Supervised by Brooke Lyndon-Stanford, Justin Cornish, Josh Simmonds and Nicholas Brooks as the Production Supervisor with help from Cubica, Lola VFX, Make VFX, Rodeo FX and Soho VFX.[34] The young actors will be digitally de-aged to match their respective ages during filming of the first film.[35]

Release

It Chapter Two had its world premiere at the Regency Village Theater in Los Angeles, California on August 26, 2019, and will be theatrically released in the United States on September 6, 2019 by Warner Bros. Pictures.[36]

Marketing

The first image of the adult versions of the Losers Club was released on July 2, 2018 while principal photography began. The first teaser poster of the film was released on October 31, 2018. Footage from the film was shown at the CinemaCon on April 2, 2019. A second teaser poster was released on May 9, 2019, along with a teaser trailer.[37] On July 17, 2019, the second poster and the final trailer were released at San Diego Comic-Con.[38][39]

Reception

Box office

In the United States and Canada, the film is projected to gross $90–100 million from 4,570 theaters in its opening weekend, and the week of its release broke Fandango's record for most advance tickets sold by a horror film.[40] The film made $10.5 million from Thursday night previews, the second-highest September total behind the first film's $13.5 million.[41]

Critical response

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 67% based on 178 reviews, with an average rating of 6.29/10. The website's critical consensus reads: "It: Chapter Two proves bigger doesn't always mean scarier for horror sequels, but a fine cast and faithful approach to the source material keep this follow-up afloat."[42] On Metacritic, which uses a weighted average, the film has a score of 59 out of 100, based on 45 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[43] Audiences polled by PostTrak gave it an overall positive score of 80% and a 62% "definite recommend."[41]

Writing for the Chicago Sun-Times, Richard Roeper praised the production design and cast, but said it wasn't as scary as the first film, writing: "For all of Muschietti's visual flourishes and with the greatly talented Bill Skarsgård again delivering a madcap, disturbingly effective, all-in performance as the dreaded Pennywise, It: Chapter Two had a relatively muted impact on me."[44] Variety's Peter DeBruge wrote: "The clown is back, and the kids have grown up in part two of Stephen King's monster novel, which inspires an overlong, but suitably scary sequel."[45]

Katie Rife of The A. V. Club gave the film a C+, praising Hader's performance but summarizing, "What a shame, than to build this beautiful stage, populate it with talented actors and high-level craftspeople, and then drop them all through the trap door of plodding humor and scattershot plotting".[46]

Future

Regarding further sequels and a potential prequel film, director Andy Muschietti said:

This is the conclusion of the book, so there is no part three. This is the end of the journey of the Losers against Pennywise. But, as we all know the mythology is very rich, and in Stephen King's book Pennywise has been around for a million years, he's been in contact with humans for at least five hundred years, and he comes back every twenty-seven years. So, if you go back and back and back and back, you'll see a lot of drama.[47]
