Pennywise lives.
There are many Stephen King fans who deem It to be the strongest work his career. And while that’s certainly debatable in literary circles, the people seemed more than willing to flock to the theatre for Pennywise’s big-screen debut. The first chapter, which hit theatres in September 2017, proved to be both a critical and commercial success. Now, this September marks the arrival It: Chapter 2, which picks up 27 years after the first one left f. With an expanded cast including Bill Hader, James McAvoy, Jessica Chastain and more, the Losers must once again face f with their old friend Pennywise, who has been gunning for round-two for decades.
Following the reveal one the book’s creepiest scenes, the film’s second trailer has ficially touched down, fering a bigger look at some the upcoming setpieces. Glimpses a literal blood flood (word to Alt-J), a carnival from hell, and a few well-tucked book nods are found throughout. For the most part, Pennywise appears to be up to his old tricks, approaching scare tactics with his own personal brand psychological warfare. At once grotesque and darkly comic, Skarsgaard’s Pennywise clearly has his swagger back.
Check out the full trailer below, and sound f – do you think this one is about to surpass the original? Look for It: Chapter 2 to float into theatres on September 6th, 2019.
