They also released the tagline.

Yikes. Not a good sign if "the first is better" since the first was only OK.

The kid portions were always better than the adult portions. No surprises so far.

And that’s why you have to keep the parallel structure. Spending a long time with only the adults bogs down.

There’s still a lot of childhood stuff they didn’t include, so maybe they used that. But that could lead to some very awkward structuring.

Maybe the “work” it needs is just a bit of editing, tightening things up a bit. Hell, trimming 30 minutes would still bring it to around 2 1/2 hours.

Exactly, pretty sure first screenings are usually too long. They're still trying to nail down what works and what doesn't. Plus, the kids are in this one too, so there will still be some childhood stuff shown.

No way IT Chapter 2's final cut is close to 3 hours. They'll trim it up. I think 130-140 minutes seems most likely.

I wonder how much they’ll change up the ending from the book.

I found the adults’ storyline in the novel less interesting than when they were kids. That storyline felt like The Big Chill with a monster in it; I would assume that movie was a big influence on the book. In a lot of ways, the 1985/adult storyline felt sort of tacked on, and I think the book might have been much better if it the whole thing took place in the 1950s. Or if King had better integrated the 1985 stuff into the plot. As it stands, it’s almost like two stories forced together. Not to mention that the nature of Pennywise was rather left field (Though the first movie went there.)

So, who think's there will a teaser with Pet Sematary?

First trailer for Chapter One was around this time in 2017.

It would seem logical, so probably won't happen.

One's by Warner Bros. and the other by Paramount... so not likely?

It should be a nobrainer to release a trailer. So *fingers crossed*

IT CHAPTER TWO only in theaters September 6, 2019

Evil resurfaces in Derry as director Andy Muschietti reunites the Losers Club—young and adult—in a return to where it all began with “It Chapter Two.”

The film is Muschietti’s follow-up to 2017’s critically acclaimed and massive worldwide box office hit “IT,” which grossed over $700 million globally. Both redefining and transcending the genre, “IT” became part of the cultural zeitgeist as well as the highest-grossing horror film of all time.

Because every 27 years evil revisits the town of Derry, Maine, “It Chapter Two” brings the characters—who’ve long since gone their separate ways—back together as adults, nearly three decades after the events of the first film.

Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain (“Zero Dark Thirty,” “Mama”) stars as Beverly, James McAvoy (“Split,” upcoming “Glass”) as Bill, Bill Hader (HBO’s “Barry,” “The Skeleton Twins”) as Richie, Isaiah Mustafa (TV’s “Shadowhunters: The Mortal Instruments”) as Mike, Jay Ryan (TV’s “Mary Kills People”) as Ben, James Ransone (HBO’s “The Wire”) as Eddie, and Andy Bean (“Allegiant,” Starz’ “Power”) as Stanley. Reprising their roles as the original members of the Losers Club are Jaeden Martell as Bill, Wyatt Oleff as Stanley, Jack Dylan Grazer as Eddie, Finn Wolfhard as Richie, Sophia Lillis as Beverly, Chosen Jacobs as Mike, and Jeremy Ray Taylor as Ben. Bill Skarsgĺrd returns in the seminal role of Pennywise.

Muschietti directed the film from a screenplay by Gary Dauberman (“IT,” “Annabelle: Creation”) based on the novel IT by Stephen King. Barbara Muschietti, Dan Lin and Roy Lee produced the film, with Marty Ewing, Seth Grahame-Smith and David Katzenberg serving as the executive producers.

The behind-the-scenes creative team included director of photography Checco Varese (“The 33”), Oscar-winning production designer Paul Denham Austerberry (“The Shape of Water”), editor Jason Ballantine (“IT,” “Mad Max: Fury Road”), and Oscar-nominated costume designer Luis Sequeira (“The Shape of Water,” “Mama”). The music is by Benjamin Wallfisch (“Shazam!,” “Blade Runner 2049,” “IT”).

New Line Cinema presents, a Vertigo Entertainment/Rideback Production, an Andy Muschietti film, “It Chapter Two.” The film is slated for release in theaters and IMAX on September 6, 2019 and will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Looks great but kind of an odd choice to basically have two plus minutes of the trailer be from one scene

I’d call that a great choice.

Was that the same Granny from The Visit? She really likes to take off her clothes, doesn't she?

They definitely need to get it under 3 hours.

These days, moviegoers will simply not go to see a movie that is over 3 hours long.

Wasn’t that impressed with the creepy old lady scene for the trailer. I liked the last bit though, with the big music, almost like an Avengers feeling to it.
