Warner Bros. recently released the first trailer of 'It
The trailer promises more scares than the first chapter of the movie. The makers of the horror drama shared the hair-raising trailer on the movie's Twitter handle, writing, "Witness the end of IT. Watch the new trailer now. #ITMovie."
The horror drama is a sequel to Andy Muschietti's critically acclaimed 2017 'It', which is an adaptation of Stephen King's classic horror tale of the same name.
The first trailer of the sequel is a creepy return home to Derry, Maine (a fictional town created in the film) 27 years after the events shown in the first film. The group of friends known as the 'Loser's Club', who battled the demonic clown Pennywise the Clown played by Bill Skarsgard, return to their hometown to put an end to the monster for once and for all.
The members of the 'Losers Club' are all grown up, but upon their return home, they're horrified to discover that Pennywise has resurfaced after he was killed in the first installment of the film.
The first part of the trailer focuses on Beverly Marsh played by Jessica Chastain, who returns to her childhood home, which is now occupied by an elderly woman. She invites Beverly inside for tea and cookies.
"You know what they say about Derry. No one who dies here ever really dies," the elderly woman tells Beverly in the scene.
The scenes of the two having a conversation in the trailer are rife with peculiar humour and creepy vibes as the woman transforms into a bizarre creature of sorts.
The last part of the trailer reunites the 'Losers Club', reintroducing characters like Bill Denbrough played by James McAvoy and Richie Tozier played by Bill Hader. Their hometown has changed, however, Pennywise's has returned to take revenge.
The trailer is filled with scenes of the ghastly clown who is seen with his signature red balloons and creepy face paint peeling from people's faces, which will definitely send chills down your spine! The 2 minutes 56 seconds trailer also shows Pennywise's that feeds off fear.
However, his terror may end as the squad returns to deal with the threat once and for all.
Bill Skarsgard is reprising his role as Pennywise. Chastain will be joined by McAvoy and Bill Hader as the older version of the Losers' Club members Beverly, Bill Denbrough and Richie Tozier, reported Variety. Their younger counterparts, played by Jaeden Lieberher, Sophia Lillis and Finn Wolfhard, will also reprise their roles in the upcoming flick.
Andy Muschietti has directed the upcoming horror film. The earlier released 'It' became a huge box office hit, earning over USD 700 million worldwide.
'It: Chapter 2' will hit the theatres on September 6.
