Andy Muschietti is a genius with this scene the IT Chapter 2 CinemaCon Footage!
Yes, it’s everything you wanted It Chapter 2 to be, yet the horror film is still a few months away from release. This afternoon Warner Bros. hosted its annual presentation at CinemaCon in Las Vegas today, and the big showstopper they saved for the very end.
And based on what was shown, there are going to be millions of chills, screams and spine-tingling moments. The IT Chapter 2 footage instead began with an extended sequence from the film – specifically a moment that any fan of the book will definitely remember.
Here is the set up from the It Chapter 2 CinemaCon Footage:
The scene in question is lifted directly from Stephen King’s book. The adult Bev Marsh (Jessica Chastain) returns to her childhood home in Derry, where she sees the name “Marsh” is still written on the door but realizes that she was mistaken and that the label actually reads “Kersh.” Instead, of seeing her father she encounters an old woman named Mrs. Kersh now living in the house. Mrs. Kersh sadly informs Bev that her father passed away, and then invites Bev into her house.
After some initial hesitance the lone female member of The Losers Club agrees, and while walking around the place notes that the house is a lot cleaner than when she lived there. Bev ends up going to the bathroom and uncovers a hole in the baseboard, from which she pulls out a familiar postcard. She reads the card aloud – “Your hair is winter fire; January embers. My heart burns there, too.” – We see a flashback to her as a kid (Sophia Lillis) reading the poem while sitting in the bathtub.
As she reads, however, the audiences’ eye is drawn down the hallway behind her, where we see a silhouetted Mrs. Kersh standing still before starting to walk out of sight with her arms flailing wildly.
We see a handful of flies on the glass window as Mrs. Kersh walks into the living room, and she gives Beverly a cup of tea as they sit opposite one another. The polite, grey-haired woman then apologizes to her guest about the heat, saying that you could just die. However, she follows it up with an old saying about Derry: “No one who ever dies here ever really dies.” Her face then basically freezes, as she neither moves nor says anything for a few creep-tastic seconds.
The tension builds as Mrs. Kersh asks what it’s like being back in town, and Bev replies that it’s strange. Bev suddenly noticing the nasty chest wound that her host is sporting when the collar of her blouse shifts. There is a moment of awkwardness followed by a ding from the kitchen. Mrs. Kersh heads to the kitchen as Bev starts looking around the room asking about the photos on the wall. It turns out, Kersh’s father was an immigrant who came to America to start a new life for himself, and did so by joining the local circus.
The Creepy Return of Pennywise:
Things escalate when it’s revealed that Mrs. Kersh is now standing weirdly naked in the kitchen. She calls from the room, “I was always daddy’s little girl. What about you? Are you still his little girl, Beverly? ARE YOU?” Bev is horrified at what she hears because its the same words her father said to her. Bev quickly becomes frightened, and the situation further escalates as Mrs. Kersh begins an all-out naked sprint towards her. End scene…Yup that is all…
