Coming hot on the heels of the release of the first teaser poster this Halloween, director Andy Muschietti has now taken to Instagram to announce that filming has wrapped on It: Chapter Two, the second instalment of Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema’s hugely successful Stephen King adaptation.
“It: Chapter Two was an 86-day roller coaster ride,” writes Muschietti. “Never had so much fun making movies as this one . I had a relentless and inspired crew who believed in this adventure as much as i did and a cast that put their heart and soul behind every second of performance. A huge thank you to all of them and also to my producer and sister @barbaramus who dealt with all the shit that a production like this has reserved for producers. And last but not least , the fans who day by day boosted our spirits by reminding us how much this story means to them. Thank you and love to you all.”
