We have a descripition of a Scene involving Jessica Chastain. Description Below


Tuesday at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Warner Bros. gave their panel attendees a first look at footage from IT: Chapter Two. The presentation began with director Andy Muschietti doubling down on the promise he made to CinemaCon attendees ahead of the original IT when he told them "You're gonna s--t yourself." The footage itself then began with an extended scene of Jessica Chastain as the grown-up Beverly Marsh returning to the apartment in Derry where she lived with her abusive father in the original film.

The scene starts with Beverly knocking on the apartment door, but instead of her father, an old woman answers whom Beverly doesn't recognize. "Dear it’s not for me to tell you this but your father passed away,” the old lady tells Beverly. The woman then invites Bev in for a drink, asking her if the apartment is like she remembers. "It's much cleaner," Beverly replies. The old lady goes to make tea and Beverly, looking around the apartment, finds an old blood-covered letter that leads her to flash back to a happy memory from childhood.

The old lady then brings the tea and puts on music. Beverly looks at a window and notices a bunch of bugs gathering there, and the old lady apologizes for the heat, saying "It's that time of year." The woman then utters the strange statement, "No one who dies in Derry ever really dies," confusing Beverly. The old woman then stares off for a moment, wearing a creepy smile (our first hint that the old woman is really Pennywise the Clown in another of his forms?). The woman suddenly comes to and asks Beverly how it is to be back in Derry again. Bev says it's strange and the woman asks her how so, but their conversation is interrupted by the buzzing of an oven. The old woman is making cookies and insists Beverly stay and have one.

As the woman goes to get the cookies, Beverly looks at some old portraits on the wall. She asks about one particular picture of the woman's parents. The old lady tells Bev her father joined the circus. Bev looks at some more old pictures and the woman in the background suddenly snaps out, showing supernatural speed, peeks at what Bev is doing and then disappears back into the kitchen. As Bev takes note of another picture of the old lady's father in the circus, the woman again appears in the background, moving with creepy speed. The woman then tells Bev she was "Always daddy's little girl," and asks her guest “What about you. Are you still daddy’s little girl, Beverly?" Of course, Beverly was horribly abused by her father in the first film, so the question itself is creepy. The old lady then charges in, making a horrifying sound.


What do you guys think?

I am really excited about this movie, hopefully, they will get a more intense vibe with a more grown-up atmosphere and more hardcore horror even if the first one was surprisingly intense for involving children.

Sounds like fun! This scene in the book got horrific and creepy very fast, with (((SPOILERS))) the woman turning out to be a witch, like that from Hansel and Gretel, and things escalate from there.
