🤡 Warning: Spoilers ahead. 🤡
1. The filmmakers used CGI to "de-age" most of the kid actors.
2. And they also "raised" their voices to make them sound younger, like they did while filming the Chapter One.
3. The creepy ~freeze~ Mrs. Kersh does is 100% real — it was not created with CG or editing, it's just a great performance.
4. Bill Skarsgård would actually warm up and get into character as Pennywise in a secluded tent.
5. And he would often Skype with his brothers while in the Pennywise makeup.
6. A record-breaking 4,500 gallons of fake blood was used in the scene where Beverly is trapped in a bathroom stall. (Supposedly the most fake blood ever used in a film scene.)
7. Skarsgård's costume and makeup team were lovingly called "the Pennywise unit."
8. Chastain gave all the Losers, both adults and kids, a wooden box engraved with their respective characters' names and "Loser" (with the "V" over the "S") engraved on it.
9. Bill Skarsgård gave Andy Muschietti his fake Pennywise teeth as a gift when they wrapped shooting principal photography.
10. Jeremy Ray Taylor grew 9" taller between filming the first movie and the second.
11. Wolfhard said his fellow young Losers' Club members are "all my best friends now."
12. Adult Richie and Eddie's reactions to seeing THAT Pomeranian were all improvised.
13. Stephen King specifically asked if two scenes could be added to the movie — the first, which they did add, was the one where Paul Bunyan chases young Richie...
14. ...and the second, which they did not add, was where the Derry Standpipe collapses and rolls down the hill at the end of the book.
15. It didn't make it into the movie, but Bill Hader also did an improvised André the Giant voice (much like his Jabba the Hutt one).
16. The only time during production that all of the cast (the Losers' Club kids and adults) were collectively together was during the table read.
17. And finally, as you probably know, It shows up every 27 years in Derry — well, both It Chapter One and It Chapter Two's release dates tally up to 27.
