The Two ‘It’ Films Might Lastly Get Their Prolonged Minimize

As audiences rave over It: Welcome to Derry, the 2 It movies that preceded it could make a comeback.

Throughout a latest Reddit AMA, director Andy Muschietti was requested about his beforehand mentioned “prolonged lower” that mixed his duology right into a single (and fairly lengthy) film. He first talked about this back in 2019 previous to It Chapter Two, and right here he mentioned that lower is “nonetheless an enormous dream of mine. We haven’t had time to execute it since we’ve been concerned closely on this present, [but] fingers crossed.”

Years in the past, Muschietti revealed he’d been engaged on various cuts of the It duology, a few of which contained deleted and wholly new scenes not from the guide. One such new scene was the entity’s origin centuries in the past, which he mentioned on the time was lower on account of being “somewhat complicated” and too revealing for that film. Nonetheless, he’s held onto it, and we’ve seen that origin (and the entity taking on poor ol’ Bob Grey) throughout this season of Welcome to Derry.

Muschietti didn’t say something additional in regards to the supercut within the AMA With the primary It hitting its tenth birthday in 2017, a supercut of the 2 motion pictures wouldn’t be a foul concept. The “Bloody Affair” lower of the Kill Bill movies and the upcoming prolonged Lord of the Rings re-releases have gotten audiences used to seeing longer movies than regular, which can assist Muschietti’s probabilities of getting it out in theaters or on HBO Max. We’ll simply have to attend and see about that, ditto whether or not Welcome to Derry returns for an additional season.
