“It: Chapter Two” is being released in two weeks but the hype surrounding the horror sequel is well under way, with even director Andy Muschietti already teasing a possible extended version he’s been working on. If you remember, Muschietti’s original of “Chapter Two” clocked in at more than 4-hours.
However, Muschietti has also confirmed that he is working on mixing both chapters together for a singular and lengthy director’s cut of its own. A massive Director’s Cut and/or supercut of both films would be the logical next step forward after the release of “Chapter Two” and there surely would be a market/audience for it.
“The possibilities are open,” Muschietti said in an interview with SFX Magazine (via GamesRadar). “There’s a version where the two movies are cut together. There’s a version where there’s a special director’s cut of number one and a special director’s cut of number two. And I’m happy to basically work on every one of them.”
“It: Chapter Two” arrives in theaters on September 6.
Netflix and Skydance Animation have also called it quits. The two sides announced Monday that they're ending the animated film deal struck back in 2023, framing it as a mutual decision.
