It is that time of the year— for movies.
CinemaCon is a yearly conference that brings together studios, filmmakers, movie distributors and exhibitors as well as movie theater owners and movie lovers. This year Warner Brother Studios stopped by to show off their upcoming slate that included everything from the DC Universe, with the new Joker film, to upcoming animated features as well as their horror franchise films in the Conjuring series. They even showcased the highly anticipated sequel to 2017’s IT with It: Chapter Two.
Muschietti shared exclusive footage from the film but shared some of the challenges he faced. Muschietti explained the biggest challenge creating a sequel to the film IT, was finding the right cast, especially the adult counter parts to the kids in the first film. “It was a journey…[but] I’m proud to say I got all [the cast and actors] I wanted,” he said. He also added, “It was incredibly important to get the same look and energy, DNA and personality” of the younger cast in their adult versions.
