Who is Who in IT – Chapter 2

Editor’s Note: I don’t known what “IT” is, and I don’t want to. #[email protected]

IT: Chapter 2 opens this week, promising bigger scares and more blood than the first part.  (Is that even possible?)  If you’re like me, you haven’t visited these Stephen King characters since the first IT movie came out two years ago.

IMPORTANT: IT Chapter 2 is almost 3 hours long…you’re going to need to know your Peetimes. Okay, let’s get going on the who is who in case you forgot.

I’ve included photos of the before and after of the cast, shown as kids and adults.

Do you remember the child characters?  

So, here’s a refresher on who’s who in “The Losers Club” to get you caught up before Pennywise strikes again:

Bill Denbrough 

  • played by Jaeden Martell as a child
  • played by James McAvoy as an adult
Bill is Georgie’s older brother.  He is the leader of the group, bent on avenging his brother’s death.  He stutters, and has a crush on Beverly.

Beverly Marsh 

  • played by Sophia Lillis as a child
  • played by Jessica Chastain as an adult

Beverly is a tomboy.  She has a strict, abusive father and is part of a love triangle between Bill and Ben.  She has the vision of the group returning to fight Pennywise as adults.

Ben Hanscom 

  • played by Jeremy Ray Taylor as a child
  • played by Jay Ryan as an adult

Ben is the poet.  He is Beverly’s secret admirer who writes her the poem on the postcard.  Ben pieces together a lot of the town’s history.

Richie Tozier 

  • played by Finn Wolfhard as a child
  • played by Bill Hader as an adult (I so approve of this casting!)
Richie is the joker of the group, funny and foul-mouthed.  He and Bill have a huge fight after nearly getting killed at the Well House.  But they reconcile to save Beverly.

Mike Hanlon 

  • played by Chosen Jacobs as a child
  • played by Isaiah Mustafa as an adult
Mike is the loyal friend.  He is bonded with the members of The Losers Club for life.  He is also the one member who never left Derry.  (We learn this in the previews.) Mike joins the club when the others defend him from Henry and his gang.

Eddie Kaspbrak

  • played by Jack Dylan Grazer as a child
  • played by James Ransone as an adult
Eddie is the hypochondriac of the group.  He is reluctant to go into the sewers.  His arm gets broken during an encounter with Pennywise.  Eddie eventually stands up to both his controlling mother and to Pennywise.

Did you know Coulrophobia means fear of clowns? I bet they do.

Stanley Uris 

  • played by Wyatt Oleff as a child
  • played by Andy Bean as an adult
Stan is the voice of reason.  He is often the most cautious, reluctant to go in the sewers, and opting to stand guard outside the creepy house rather than go inside.

Pennywise CAN SEE YOU. OMG. F#cking clowns.

IT Chapter 2 will be here soon!

Halloween 2nd Trailer Released, Curtis to Whip Some Psycho Butt!

“Michaelllllllllll. Michaelllll….I’m coming for you!”

Halloween is coming — in more ways than one. We at RunPee couldn’t be more excited for Jamie Lee Curtis, after all this time (since 1978!), to scare HER psycho boogeyman Mike Meyers, and whup his deranged butt for once and for all. Some people just shouldn’t be allowed to go to prison, allowing for the potential of evil to arise again. (And I’m an unashamed tree-hugger who normally hates the death penalty.)

[pullquote]So, go Jamie go, take this mother down.  Terrorize him! It’s like Terminator 2: Judgement Day, but for an older woman, with nothing on her mind but preventing more atrocities. [/pullquote]

Off my soapbox now; sorry about that. I hope this movie is as good as it looks.  The 2nd trailer seems like a bit of awesome. Even the 1st trailer was good, but this one is a lot more intense. Enjoy, and get excited: 

Looking forward to Halloween? Will it be worthy, or just a sequel cash grab? We think Jamie Lee Curtis reprising her role speaks for a possibility of quality.
