The full It: Chapter Two trailer debuted July 18th, 2019 at San Diego Comic-Con, promising a thrilling conclusion to director Andy Muschietti’s adaptation of Stephen King’s terrifying novel. The trailer suggests a devout and appropriate faithfulness to the flick’s source material. Let’s have a look at the chilling details.
The trailer opens with narration from Mike, who unlike the rest of the now-adult Losers stayed in Derry, Maine.
Then there’s a shot of the sewers, where a torrent of water rolls through a tunnel, ensaring a young victim. This scene doesn’t seem to be from the It novel; it instead looks like a nod to another film adaptation of a King classic: The 1980 Stanley Kubrick film The Shining.
The famous trailer for that film uses a static shot from the movie of some unassuming elevator doors, but as the film’s title and credits pop up onscreen, massive volume of blood gushes out even as the doors stay closed. It’s unlikely in the extreme that Muschietti would have included such a similar shot by coincidence.
In King’s novel, the number seven is a sort of mystical totem that helps to empower the Losers to take on a malevolent being from beyond time and space. When Mike calls the adult Losers back to Derry, however, their chances against Pennywise are immediately dealt a blow by the fact that their number is reduced to six. Stan Uris, the most logical of the bunch, remembers just a bit too much about that long-ago summer upon receiving Mike’s invitation. Keep watching the video to see the small details you missed in the new IT trailer!
