Perhaps the greatest success to date of the ongoing horror renaissance was last year’s adaptation of Stephen King’s IT.
IT: Chapter 2 will cover the second portion of Stephen King’s epic tome and feature the Losers Club as adults 27 years after the events of the first film, when Pennywise returns to terrorize the town of Derry once again.
The film from Andy Muschietti grossed $700 million worldwide, making the expected sequel a certainty and one of the most anticipated horror movies in the works.
The sequel has already lined up some marquee talent to play the adult members of the Losers Club, and now another new name will be joining them.
