Andy Muschietti Showed Off First ‘IT: Chapter 2’ Footage at #SDCC and Promised Scarier Film
The footage is *not* online and probably won’t be, but the very first look at IT: Chapter Two was shown off at San Diego Comic Con tonight, as part of WB’s “ScareDiego” event.
Via Twitter, we’ve got some recaps of the footage shown, revealing that attendees got their first look at Bill Hader as Richie and James Ransone as Eddie.
Additionally, director Andy Muschietti promised a scarier, more intense sequel…

Bill Hader: Sup, Losers?
James Ransome: Holy sh*t!
Hader: So what do you guys wanna talk about?
[Pennywise appears]

A bunch of peeks at Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise looking exactly as he did before: creepy as hell! Andy Muschietti says the sequel will be “scarier and more intense” and that we should wear adult diapers to the theater. #ScareDiego @joblocom

Just saw a great BTS of IT: Chapter 2. First look at the actors in the scene where they reunite at the Chinese restaurant in Derry. Some emotional looking peeks of everyone. Bill Hader’s Richie says, “Soooo. What do you guys want to talk about?” #ScareDiego @joblocom
