It: Chapter II Trailer 2

Nice trailer. I don't recognize a whole lot from the book in those brief shots outside of what we've seen in the first trailer. It seems to focus a lot on this carnival setting, which could make sense for the (presumably) opening scene with Adrian Mellon, but then Bill is there in a mirror maze, which seems to have been made up entirely for the new movie. Maybe that could work, but I think I would have liked for it to hue a bit more closely to the book.

It does look like maybe they'll flashback to the kids, which is cool, and it looks like there's a brief shot of the underground clubhouse they were building in the book, and/or the smokehouse scene. That last view of Pennywise looks like it might be from that deleted scene from the first one that we hear about, as it looks like he could be in a house from centuries ago (oil lamps in the background, and such). So maybe they'll flash to that scene instead of 'IT' arriving on earth in pre-history. That might be cool.

Anyway, I'm looking forward to it. I didn't love the first movie all that much, but I thought it was solid, and knowing the book it was clear that the device of splitting it into to and focusing on the kids only in the first film would create an opportunity for the second one to be a much more impactful and emotional experience.

I hope that's the case.

Can't wait. The first trailer didn't look too promising, but the second really stepped it up. I hope it's still got little quirky moments like the first one did.
