IT chapter 2 ENDING will ‘BREAK fans’ hearts’ teases Pennywise Clown sequel screenwriter

The IT movie sequel isn’t released for another year, but fans are wondering how close to the Stephen King book the ending will be.

Now the IT Chapter 2’s screenwriter Gary Dauberman has revealed the film concludes the entire story with an emotional conclusion.

Speaking with Slash Film, he said: “No, this is a complete story.

“The ending I think will satisfy the audience and maybe break their hearts a little bit.”

The screenwriter also spoke about adapting certain scenes from the novel.

He continued: “Like I said with the first one, it’s really this embarrassment of riches.

“It was trying to do your best job of taking what Stephen King wrote so beautifully all those years ago and try to translate it to the script page.

“For me it was just really fun to be able to revisit these characters and see what they’re up to 27 years later.”

THE NUN REVIEWS ARE IN: JUST HOW SCARY IS IT?

He added: “There was a challenge trying to get all those character introductions and ‘here’s where we are so far’ which is fun to tackle.

“How can we find an elegant solution to introduce this many characters again to the audience?

“In the first one, they’re all together in school so you see them in a bunch but 27 years later, I don’t think it’s a spoiler they’re sort of scattered all over the country.

“So we see pieces of who they’ve become which I think is really exciting.”

He concluded: “Then of course it was great to see them return to Derry. The Jade of the Orient is such a defining and iconic scene in the book.

“That was something I remember as a thing I was writing towards.

“It was like, ‘Okay, coming up is Jade of the Orient. That’s going to be super cool.’ It was a nice signpost to write towards which I dug.”

IT Chapter 2 is released in UK cinemas on September 6, 2019.
