Es Kapitel 2 (Original title: It Chapter Two ) is a horror film by Andy Muschietti and the sequel to Es from 2017 based on the novel of the same name by Stephen King . It was released in German cinemas on September 5, 2019 and in US cinemas the following day.

action

Exactly 27 years after the events of the summer of 1989 , when a group of children in Derry founded the Losers' Club , strange things are happening again in town. A young man's heart is bitten from the chest by a live clown after being beaten up by a homophobic mob of young men and thrown from a bridge. Red balloons begin to fly through Derry again. When Mike Hanlon discovers the words "Come home" written in blood on the bridge piers, he picks up the phone.

His old friend Bill Denbrough is now working as a writer whose books are being made into films. Eddie Kaspbrak, who works in the insurance industry, also receives a call from him, as does Richie Tozier, who is a successful stand-up comedian, Ben Hanscom, Beverly Marsh and Stanley Uris. Mike tells them It has returned and reminds his old friends of the blood oath they once made but which they can barely remember. They had vowed to destroy It once and for all if the creature ever returned. Beverly Marsh, who is abused by her husband, has to flee the house to travel to Derry. Henry Bowers, who killed his father at the time, can also escape from the facility in which he has been housed since then.

The friends meet in an Asian restaurant in Derry. Only Stanley does not appear. During their conversation the memories of their childhood come back, which they had completely repressed. Mike believes her memories are gone after his friends moved away from Derry a long time ago. He tells his friends about the echo after it has terrorized their city anew every 27 years. He also believes that after their victory they somehow changed him, probably even made him stronger. A message they find in the fortune cookies leads them to believe that Stanley is dead. A call from Bev to his wife confirms his suicide the day before. This news and also the visions of mutant creatures who burst from the fortune cookies in the restaurant frighten them and result in almost all members of the Losers' Club wanting to leave Derry as soon as possible.

Mike, who has never left Derry and has now set up a small apartment in the city library, can only persuade Bill to look at the results of his years of research. From Shokopiwah Indians he learned through a vision where it comes from and how one can destroy the being. With the help of an artifact and a special root extract, he also shares his experiences with Bill. A ritual that the friends can only perform together should destroy it for good.

Mike and Bill are now trying to convince their friends of the plan together. When Bev, at her urging, tells the others about her nightmares in which she saw the death of each of them, they decide to perform the ritual together. They make their way to their old clubhouse in the woods, where they find a shower cap that Stanley used to protect himself from the spiders in his hair as a child. This is the first artifact that each of them must find, for which purpose they part.

Bev goes to the house where she grew up with her father. Old Mrs. Kersh now lives in her apartment, and she invites her in. Behind a skirting board, Bev searches for the treasures she once hid there, and finds the old postcard that Ben wrote her back then. She quickly leaves the apartment when Mrs. Kersh tells her about her father, who worked as a clown and then becomes a bizarre creature himself. Standing in front of the house, Bev realizes that the encounter with the old woman only happened in her imagination.

In the summer of 2018, the redesigned Capitol Theater of the city was shot in Port Hope, which again served Derry as a backdrop

Meanwhile, Richie visits the Capitol Theater, where it confronts him with his fears about his greatest secret. Bill sees his old bike in the window of a second-hand shop and buys it from the strange owner. Bill remembers his brother Georgie again, hears his voice calling for him from the sewer system and suddenly holds the paper boat in his hand that he once made for him when he reaches into the drain. Ben pays a visit to his old school, where He confronts him with his former excess weight and leads him in a vision that Bev will never return his love. In his wallet he finds a page torn from his yearbook on which only Bev has immortalized.

Eddie, who wants to pick up an asthma spray at Derry's pharmacy, meets his deceased mother there. Back at the hotel, he realizes that Henry Bowers has come into the building. He hurts him badly. The Canal Days Festival is currently taking place in Derry, and Bill is looking in a cabinet of mirrors for the little boy with the skateboard who now lives in her old house and whom he met there. However, he cannot prevent It from killing him too.

All the members of the Losers' Club will meet again in the old house that contains the well and thus the access to the place where they had already competed against It. In a cave deep down in the sewer system, they burn the collected artifacts, hold hands and use this ritual to try to destroy it. When this fails, they begin to mock it and show it that they are no longer afraid of it, which makes the being shrivel. When they tear his heart out, the cave begins to collapse. You make it outside to see the old house crumble too. You had to leave Eddie behind, who was killed. The five remaining friends go swimming together. Ben and Bev kiss for the first time.

Some time later they received letters from Stanley, in which Stanley said he killed himself to take himself out of the game. Richie, who scratched something in the so-called "kiss bridge" as a child, returns there and scratches the letters "R + E", which reveals his biggest secret: He is homosexual and had feelings for Eddie.

production

Genesis and Staff

Two months before the theatrical release of Es in September 2017, director Muschietti had spoken to Variety about the production planning for the sequel. Accordingly, the script for part 2 should be ready in January 2018 and ideally with the preparation in March 2018 and with the shooting in mid-2018, so that a cinema release in autumn 2019 would be feasible. Part 2 will then focus on the adult losers club and flashbacks to 1989 when they were children. Muschietti, who also wanted to direct the sequel, announced shortly before the premiere of the first part that he would not only focus on the adult versions of the Losers' Club: "There will be a dialogue between the two timelines." Muschietti went on to say that while the first part was still focused on the children's emotional journey, in which he immersed the audience in the childhood of these characters without poisoning the experience with jumps in time or flashbacks, it would be something in the second part it could happen that they enter another dimension. In April 2018, Muschietti was confirmed as a director. He also stated that there will be significantly more horror elements than in the predecessor.

Gary Dauberman , who co-wrote the first part, and Jeffrey Jurgensen act as scriptwriters . Dauberman commented on the writing process that the greatest challenge was to select from all the “great scenes” in the book those that would maintain the spirit and tonality of the work. The production team is said to have received personal support from Stephen King , through whom the scene in which young Richie is chased by a Paul Bunyan statue is in the finished film. King's other dream scene, however, was not fulfilled for budget reasons. Dauberman went on to explain that the horror author's template had been slightly modified, so that even those who know the story in the cinema will be surprised.

Structure and script adaptation

It: Chapter 2 begins with a flashback to the end of part one, when members of the Losers' Club in the Blood Vow promised to come back should It come up again. After this, the viewer gets an insight into the lives of all the protagonists with the help of short scenes, for example from Bev, who lives with a brutal husband like her father once was, from Eddie, who married a woman who looks like his mother from Bill, who is now a sought-after horror author and Richie, who still acts like the class clown.

The ritual of Chüd in particular experienced a change through the adaptation. While the participants in the novel bite their tongues and tell jokes, the members of the Losers' Club in the film ES face each other with determination. Muschietti stated that Bill knew "that the only way to defeat Pennywise is to use the power of their united faith," and that the ritual in the film is rather a means to an end to bring the group back together.

While in the book the ritual sends Bill to another plane of existence in which he is equally powerful Pennywise, the members of the group have to separate in order to look for special things from their past that they need for the ritual, whereby they have individual encounters with Pennywise to have. Stan, who commits suicide in the book without further explanation, tells his friends in a letter in the film that he was convinced that his fear was uncontrollable and that in the fight against ES he would only have been a danger to others. While Henry Bowers seriously injured Mike in the book, which prevents him from going into the sewers with the losers, further weakening the group, he was given a more active role in the film.

In the novel, Pennywise's death sparked a violent storm that almost completely destroyed downtown Derry , suggesting that the creature not only lived in Derry, but was part of the place. In the finale of the film, only the house with the access to the sewer system collapses, and the friends go swimming in the lake together after defeating the clown.

Cast and cameo appearances

Bill Skarsgård , here while filming at Comic-Con in San Diego, took on the title role again

Bill Skarsgård can again be seen in the leading role that gives the title . Muschietti said about the horror clown that he would be even more manipulative and perverse than in the first part and that he would proceed with more cleverness and intelligence. In addition, Barbara Muschietti confirmed that "It" will be female, as in the novel. In April 2018, it was confirmed that Jessica Chastain will play the adult role of Beverly Marsh in the sequel. Child actor Jackson Robert Scott took on the role of Georgie Denborough. As in the previous film, Jaeden Martell will play his brother Bill. Similarly, again Jack Dylan Graz in the role of Eddie Kaspbrak, Jeremy Ray Taylor in the role of Ben Hanscom, Wyatt Oleff in the role of Stanley Uris and Chosen Jacobs to see in the role of Mike Hanlon. In May 2018, it was announced that James Ransone would take on the role of adult Eddie Kaspbrak. In the same month, the adult Ben was cast with New Zealand actor Jay Ryan . Most recently, in June 2018, the cast of the adult Mike Hanlon with the actor Isaiah Mustafa was announced .

All child actors had to be digitally rejuvenated due to the time span of two years between shooting the first and second part. The VFX company Lola Visual Effects was mainly responsible for this. This worked with around 20 special effects artists on around 200 shots , using 2D techniques mainly to smooth the skin and change the body figure of the actors. Jeremy Ray Taylor, who had "lost weight considerably" compared to his predecessor, and Finn Wolfhard, whose facial proportions had changed significantly, presented particular challenges. All child actors also had to imitate their younger, higher voices after the idea of ​​sharing them with others Dubbing voice actors was discarded. The forced perspective was also used to cover up the sometimes enormous differences in size between the actors compared to their predecessor.

Stephen King, the author of the novel, can be seen in a cameo as the owner of a second-hand shop. Peter Bogdanovich has a cameo as a director filming Bill's book. Director Andy Muschietti and his sister Barbara Muschietti , who is also the producer of the film, also have various cameos. Andy Muschietti was originally seen in the scene as a cop where Mike arrives at the bridge after Pennywise killed Adrian. According to Barbara Muschietti, Andy Muschietti cut himself out in this scene. He made his second cameo as a customer in the pharmacy. Barbara Muschietti can be seen in the scene when adult Ben Hanscom goes to his old high school. There she is sitting under a tree.

Filming and equipment

After a postponement, filming began in mid-June 2018 under the direction of cameraman Checco Varese . The first scene the adult actors filmed together was filmed in a restaurant in Mississauga . In the summer of 2018, the shooting took place in Port Hope , Canada , which, as in the first part, serves Derry as a backdrop. A total of 1.6 million US dollars are said to have flowed into the city of 17,000. Shooting ended on November 1st, 2018. Further re-shoots took place between May 25 and 27, 2019 in Toronto , where large parts of the film had already been shot the year before.

A total of 17,000 liters of fake blood are said to have been used in the production of the film , twice as much compared to the previous film. Much of it was used in the toilet scene with Jessica Chastain . A total of 5,000 gallons of the liquid were trucked from Los Angeles to Toronto. A total of three different sets were built on site for the said scene by production designer Paul Denham Austerberry . Underneath there was a toilet cubicle for recordings without blood, with a side wall removed and a flexible door inserted. A second cabin was connected by pipes to an overlying tank, from which the artificial blood was directed both into the cabin and into the backdrop around it in order to keep the pressure constant. Varese himself was in the flooded backdrop during these recordings, wearing a wetsuit and filming with a total of three cameras in waterproof covers, as Muschietti did not optically like the recordings with a camera crane . One final set was rotated 90 degrees so that Chastain had to hang in a safety harness to film her scenes. The production costs should have moved between 60 and 70 million US dollars.

Film music, marketing and publishing

As with the first part, Benjamin Wallfisch composed the film music. The soundtrack, which comprises a total of 45 pieces of music, was released by WaterTower Music on August 30, 2019.

In July 2018, Warner Bros. presented the first visual material at the Comic-Con in San Diego. At the Comic Con Experience in São Paulo in December 2018, exclusive image concepts, new cast members and images from the first meeting of the entire cast were presented. Furthermore, director Andy Muschietti revealed that the second part will be more serious, intense and scary. The first moving images with Jessica Chastain were presented at CinemaCon in early April 2019 . On May 9, 2019, Warner Bros. Pictures released a first trailer. The film was also represented at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, where a second trailer was presented on July 19. The world premiere took place on August 26, 2019 at the Regency Village Theater in Los Angeles. The film was released in US cinemas on September 6, 2019, and in German cinemas a day earlier.

At the end of July 2019 it was announced that the film will be around 165 minutes long, half an hour longer than its predecessor. In addition, producer Barbara Muschietti confirmed that there will be a director's cut for the home theatrical release, as not all scenes from the first, four-hour cut would have made it into the finished film. In addition, director Muschietti plans to publish both films, including material not used in the theatrical versions, as one major work, for which he even wants to shoot two completely new scenes.

The film has been available digitally in the United States since November 19, 2019 on DVD , Blu-ray, and UHD Blu-ray since December 10, 2019 . In Germany, the film was released digitally on January 9, 2020 on DVD, Blu-ray and UHD Blu-ray.

reception

Age rating

In the US, the MPAA gave the film an R rating , which corresponds to a 17-year-old rating , as the film contained “disturbingly violent content, consistently bloody footage, offensive language and grossly sexual material”. In Germany, the film was approved by the FSK from the age of 16. The statement of reasons for the release states that the film has a threatening mood and contains numerous moments of horror and horror, which are staged effectively and effectively. Occasionally there are also more drastic scenes of violence, such as a homophobic attack, which are not lurally played out or even glorified.

Reviews

Overall, the film received mixed feedback from the critics.

David Kleingers from Spiegel Online writes that the film scores as a bloody analysis of the present and is ultimately a successful screen adaptation: “ It is the monster from the middle of a dehumanized society. And can only be banned together. "

Katrin Hemmerling from Robots & Dragons explains that the sequel is not limited to the plot after 27 years, but rather jumps back to the summer of 1989 at the crucial moments, where the successful cast becomes particularly clear: “The similarity between adults and young people is sometimes striking and therefore more coherent than in the first film version. Jack Dylan Grazer and James Ransone in particular look so similar that it is easy to recognize the young Eddie in the adult actor. And Jay Ryan , whose character has literally undergone the greatest change in history, shines through features of Ben, as he was portrayed as a child by Jeremy Ray Taylor . ”She sums up, Chapter 2 “ brings [e] the story of Pennywise and the Losers Club to a successful conclusion. The well-cast ensemble skilfully kidnaps the audience to Derry and puts the focus more on friendship than on horror. It's nice to come home. "

The film critic Antje Wessels also notes that excellent adult equivalents have been found, and the already well-known youngsters performed confidently as usual in the many flashbacks. In the reunification of the losers' club, Andy Muschietti did a lot of things right for a long time, according to Wessels, but from the middle of the film onwards the film gets out of step, which is also due to the original book: “At the moment when the group splits up and each person unites Part of the plot alone denies, Muschietti gets lost in the same sequence of scene construction. These scenes are particularly impressive because of their visuality. "Cameraman Checco Varese finds distorted, sometimes echoing surrealistic perspectives to make the undead, monsters and above all Pennywise seem nightmarish in the truest sense of the word, says Wessels. Nevertheless, Es: Kapitel 2 can be dominated too much by their sensational staging, especially in the second half. The film critic sums up that the unaesthetically filmed, hysterical riot finale doesn't do justice to the epic dimensions of this story of cohesion and fears, just like the short screen time Pennywise, who only plays a supporting role here.

Gross profit

After its worldwide theatrical release, the film reached the top position of the cinema charts in many countries, including in the USA, the United Kingdom, Germany, Russia, Mexico, Australia and Brazil, and was able to achieve gross profits of around 185 million US dollars record the second best opening weekend of a horror film after Es . Contributing to this success included $ 91.1 million from screenings in 4,570 North American cinemas, a new record for an R-rated film . In Germany, around 625,000 cinema-goers saw the film at the same time. On the second weekend Es Kapitel 2 was able to defend its leading position both on the German market with 340,000 visitors and in North America with a turnover of 40.7 million US dollars. The worldwide revenue of the film from theatrical screenings amounts to 473.1 million US dollars, of which it grossed 211.6 million in North America alone (as of July 20, 2020). As a result, it is ranked 16th among the most successful films of 2019 . In Germany, the film recorded 1,897,731 visitors, which brought in 19.1 million euros and is 12th in the 2019 annual charts .
