IT: Chapter Two Behind The Scenes | Pennywise Lives Again | Warner Bros. Entertainment

Ladies and gentlemen, that's a picture wrap on Bill Skarsgård, let's give him a hand.

I remember when we wrapped the first movie, the last day of the shoot, feeling like we did something special here.

Cheers, guys.

But you don't dare to trust that feeling because you're like, what if you're wrong?

What if this is a disaster and what if your performance is a disaster?

But then it shattered every expectation I think anyone had on it.

Obviously, it's a big deal to see that your vision succeeded.

It also gives you a lot of confidence for the bets that you're making on the second one.

Because you know what works and what doesn't.

Andy and I were talking about potential ideas for the sequel even when we were doing the first one

because we knew that we were going to do the second one.

And action.

Yeah, that's beautiful.

Chapter two.

I always wanted to make a scarier movie and crank up the horror aspects of it.

It was strange because I'd been away from Pennywise for almost two years.

And then Andy wanted me to do a test for a VFX motion capture thing.

Been away from the character for so long.

It's going to be strange just like to go right back into it.

And I got the scene like the night before.

And Andy's on Skype because he's already in Toronto for pre-production.

He goes, you know, okay, action, you know.

And action.

Pennywise is just ever-present and just like exploded out of me.

I was surprised how much of him was just still there.

Because the first movie was so much for me was to figure out who the character was.

The bill, he put so much of him into the creation.
