It Director Andy Muschietti Provides An Update On The Long-rumored It Supercut [exclusive]

Warner Bros.

While it's not group successful stone, it judge sounds for illustration nan long-discussed "It" supercut is still going to beryllium a thing. It's conscionable a matter of uncovering nan clip to do it. That's according to head Andy Muschietti and shaper Barbara Muschietti, who are still wished to move their Stephen King movie adaptations into 1 super-sized cinematic experience.

I precocious had nan bully luck of speaking pinch nan Muschiettis successful grant of their caller movie "They Will Kill You," which stars Zazie Beetz, best known arsenic Domino from "Deadpool 2," astatine nan halfway of a chaotic action extravaganza. The Muschiettis produced nan movie, which is directed by Kirill Sokolov. During our caller conversation, I asked them why nan "It" supercut hasn't happened yet.

"Time," Barbara Muschietti said correct away. "We didn't person clip to do it because we were progressive successful each benignant of projects," Andy added. Elaborating further, Andy explained that HBO's "It: Welcome to Derry," which showed viewers Pennywise's root story, took precedence. Here's what he had to say:

"The show had a privilege complete nan supercut. We're successful a infinitesimal now wherever we tin decidedly spell to nan workplace and inquire for support, but when is nan question. They tin say, 'Yeah, spell for it,' but now we are benignant of committed, for illustration happily committed, to play 2 of 'Welcome to Derry.' And there's different movie projects going around. But we're going to do it."

Muschietti sounds assured that nan task will travel to fruition. The head has been talking astir it for a agelong time; he revealed successful 2019 that the "It" supercut combining some films would beryllium six hours long, aliases perchance longer. It's been talked astir present and location since, but now it sounds for illustration it's apical of mind for him.

Warner Bros.

As Andy Muschietti explains, "It: Welcome to Derry" play 2 is each but charismatic astatine this point, which will return much of their attraction distant from nan projected supercut that would harvester 2017's "It" and 2019's "It: Chapter Two" into one, super-sized experience. Aside from time, nan different rumor is logistics, which involves money and support from Warner Bros. to make it happen.

In an question and reply this past January pinch a Spanish-language outlet (via Stephen King Espana), Andy talked astir nan supercut, saying that they would request to movie immoderate caller scenes.

"It will perchance person a different building and will person other scenes, added scenes. I still person to movie immoderate of them ... because they are nan interstitial cloth betwixt nan pieces of nan story," he explained astatine nan time.

Setting speech nan engaged schedule getting successful Muschietti's way, there's virtually nary measurement that Warner Bros. wouldn't backmost nan project. "It" became nan biggest scary deed ever astatine nan container office, taking successful $700 cardinal worldwide. Even though "It: Chapter Two" had to unrecorded successful nan protector of its predecessor, it still made a hugely awesome $473 million. It's a $1 cardinal scary franchise, and immoderate different scary franchise that tin declare specified a feat has rather a fewer much movies to its name.

Muschietti wants to do it. Warner Bros. has nan financial information to make it happen. The occurrence of "Welcome to Derry" has further cemented nan viability of nan franchise. It genuinely feels for illustration a matter of when, not if, this supercut comes to pass.
