We recently learned thatAndrés Muschietti’sITwill come in at 135 minutes long, meaning you’ll have to keep yourself from squirming in terror for two-and-a-quarter hours. During that time you’ll be introduced to both the Losers Club and the terrifying title entity that takes the form of Pennywise the clown (Bill Skarsgard). And as new footage from a TV ad for the movie reveals, one of those sequences includes a horrifying chase which readers ofStephen King’s acclaimed tome know full well.
The Losers are made up of Bill Denbrough (Jaeden Lieberher), big-boned Ben Hanscom (Jeremy Ray Taylor), comedian-in-training Richie Tozier (Finn Wolfhard), neatnik Stan Uris (Wyatt Oleff), historian Mike Hanlon (Chosen Jacobs), hypochondriac Eddie Kaspbrak (Jack Dylan Grazer) and tomboy Beverly Marsh (Sophia Lillis). Antagonizing them along the way will be Skarsgard‘s Pennywise, along with some local bullies like Henry Bowers (Nicholas Hamilton), Patrick Hockstetter (Owen Teague), Victor Criss (Logan Thompson), and Belch Huggins (Jake Sim).ITopens September 8th.
