Entertainment News'IT' Sequel to Film This Summer in Toronto

‘IT’ Sequel to Film This Summer in Toronto

Date:

The upcoming sequel to IT will begin filming in July 2018.

“The script is still being finalized and the locations are currently being scouted in anticipation of shooting then,” confirmed producer Roy Lee in an email to IndieWire.

Director Andrés Muschetti will return to direct the sequel. One of the original screenplay’s three writers, Gary Dauberman, is working on the script. The second half of King’s 1986 novel follows a 27-year time jump. This February, sources told Variety that two-time Oscar nominee Jessica Chastain was in negotiations to play Beverly Marsh, the only woman in the upcoming Stephen King movie adaptation. Chastain appeared in Muschietti’s first movie, the 2013 movie Mama. 

“I love Andy and Barbara,” Chastain told Screen Rant in November when asked about her interest in the “It” follow-up. “They’re my friends. They’re like my family. Anything that they’re doing I want to be a part of, so I hope we can make it happen.”

The film stars Jaeden Lieberher and Bill Skarsgård as Bill Denbrough and Pennywise the Dancing Clown, respectively, with Jeremy Ray Taylor, Sophia Lillis, Finn Wolfhard, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs, Jack Dylan Grazer, Nicholas Hamilton, and Jackson Robert Scott in supporting roles.

Principal photography began in Toronto on June 27, 2016, and ended on September 21, 2016. Other Ontario filming locations included Port Hope and Oshawa.

The “It” sequel arrives in theaters on September 6, 2019.
