As part of Warner Bros.’ presentation at CinemaCon this past week, It director Andy Muschietti sent a videotaped message to those in attendance, promising that the second chapter to the hit Stephen King adaptation will be “darker and even scarier” than last year’s first movie, and that fans may want to “bring your adult diapers”.
“Bring your adult diapers…to the theaters,” warns IT: CHAPTER 2 director Andres Muschietti, as he teases the sequel will be darker and even scarier in a taped interview at CinemaCon.
