So there wound up being no supernatural storm. The town is nearly wiped off the map in the book, but Muschietti didn’t want to end on that note. The other was a desire for Derry’s towering water standpipe to roll down a hillside in the finale of the film, when an otherworldly storm walloped the community. One of them was the town of Derry’s tacky Paul Bunyan statue coming to life to terrorize grown-up Richie Tozier (played by Bill Hader), which Muschietti did include in Chapter Two. It just happened on the day,” Muschietti said.īefore that, the author also weighed in on the script by suggesting a few elements from the original novel he wanted to see onscreen. “He was part of the creation of that scene. King even did some writing on set, crafting dialogue full of words beginning with B to provoke Denbrough’s stutter. So I went up with my grandson, who’s crazy about movies-the oldest one, Ethan-and we hung out on the set. Fortunately It: Chapter Two was filming just over the border from Maine-and curiosity from another generation also led King to participate: “They were shooting in Port Hope in Canada, and it was really just a hop. “Andy asked me if I’d do that, and the major thing for me is: How hard is it going to be to get there?” said King, who doesn’t like to travel often. It was impossible.”īut the author remained committed to the cameo, despite his early qualms. “We started with a script that was 160 pages, and that was the short version,” Muschietti said. “He wanted to use Joe as that guy in a flashback with the kid, and it would’ve worked because Joe and I look a lot alike.”Īlas, the idea was never shot. “Andy’s original idea was so genius,” King said.
Instead, the younger shopkeeper who ruins their tender moment would have been played by King’s son, author Joe Hill. There would have been no digital de-aging for King, however.
“It was a little romantic moment there, and then they were approached by the shopkeeper as a younger version.” “When Bill Denbrough walked into the thrift shop, he had a flashback of him and Beverly browsing the same place 27 years ago,” Muschietti said. Muschietti confirmed that originally, the film planned to have King’s shopkeeper show up in a flashback, interacting with young Bill (played by Jaeden Martell) and his friend Beverly Marsh (played by Sophia Lillis). But apparently this is not the first time the Secondhand Rose owner has crossed paths with Denbrough.
