Plot of news, rumors and theories

Readers know what's going on: The plot is a secret to anyone who has read King's terrifying novel. The Losers Club, made up of young maladjusted kids who fought against the murderous clown Pennywise, learns that he's back 27 years later and that they're the only ones able to try to "get him out of it." Stop. The King novel has forged links between the two age groups, but the movies separate the children who are fighting with Pennywise in the first film of their adult version doing the same (with some likely flashbacks). And there have been some changes in King's novel in the first film, so there may still be surprises, even for King's loyal readers.

Two sinister scenes: Screenwriter Gary Dauberman told the Hollywood Reporter in May 2019 that two disturbing scenes from King's book would be included in the film. One relates to a hate crime against a gay character whose badailants are influenced by Pennywise, the other concerns a sad chapter in the personal life of the adult Bev.

Mysterious house: In one Spoilery clip shown at Comic-Con, the Losers return to the old house seen at the end of the movie It of 2017. The director Muschietti told the public before the broadcast of the clip that the house is visible only by the children (and apparently by the club losers) .

Touch the terror: Star Isaiah Mustafa, who plays the adult version of Mike Hanlon, says the film is full of emotion. "[The film is] Always about this friendship developed by the children of the first chapter and about how they became the best friends of each other to fight this plague, "Mustafa told CNET. Do not get me wrong, it's horrible, but it's still touching. "

Learn more about Pennywise: In 2017, Bill Skarsgård told Metro UK that this second film will further explore his terrifying character. "It's another story," he said. "But I'm delighted to dive deeper into the character because there is more exploration for who Pennywise is." Specifically, the actor evoked a disturbing scene showing a Pennywise less clown-like in the 1600s that was shot for the first film and that was not used. Some wonder if this will be included in chapter two.

Buckets of blood: Chastain appeared in The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon in February 2019 and warned that there was a scene in the film that could contain the largest amount of (fake) blood ever poured into a movie scene. ;horror. "The next day, I thought I was taking blood out of my eyes," she says.

Do not be like Mike: Director Muschietti said in 2017 that Mike's character, one of the Losers club members who remains in Derry, will be different from the novel. "My idea of ​​Mike in the second film is quite dark from the book," he told Entertainment Weekly. "I want to make his character the pivotal character that brings them together, but staying at Derry has had a negative impact on him, I want him to be a junkie, a librarian junkie, and when the second movie starts, will be a wreck. "

Scenes we could see: After filming the first film, producer Barbara Muschietti told reporters that some scenes did not fit within the budget of this film, but could be part of chapter 2. One scene in particular, a mbadacre perpetrated in the nightclub Black Spot , could even open the new movie. "This sequence with the Black Spot, we think it will be an excellent opening for the next film," said Muschietti at the time. Whether it happens at the opening stage or not, we will have to wait and see.

Twister language: Screenwriter Daubman told Cinema Blend in September 2018 that a weird element in King's book, called The Ritual of Chüd, would play a role in the film. Cinema Blend explains this as follows: "Chüd's ritual is fundamentally a psychic battle of wills, but the author translates it with very strange images.In particular, the idea is that Pennywise and a Losers Club member expand their languages. ., overlap, bite, then exchange jokes until one of the parties gets tired. "

Do not take a huge coke: No confirmation for this, but a Twitter user claims that the movie lasts "almost three hours". Hey, after Avengers: End of the gamewe are all used to films on the bladder, right?

Time of the turtle: In the book, the ancient tortoise Maturin is considered the creator of the universe. Although director Andy Muschietti did not talk much about turtle references in the first film, he told SyFy Wire to expect more in the second film. "I think in the second part, the turtle will try to help them," he said. "In the second film, the turtle left traces of their childhood that they can not remember.They must recover their memories of the summer of 1989 and that is how we came back to 1989."

Heartbreaker: The screenwriter Daubman says to bring your tissues. "The end, in my opinion, will satisfy the public and perhaps will break their hearts a little bit," he told Slash Film in September 2018.
