According to Digital spy, Warner Bros. have decided that the new teaser for the anticipated flick would not go online. Instead, it will be played only in theaters, before screenings of It: Chapter Two.

It is not the first time such a strategy is being used in order to lure the audience to the cinemas. The screenings of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood were preceded by a teaser for Christopher Nolan’s Tenet that has not yet been uploaded online.

Margot Robbie will of course reprise her role as Harley Quinn. She will be joined by Mary Elizabeth as Huntress, Jurnee Smollett-Bell as Black Canary, Ella Jay Basco as Cassandra Cain and Rosie Perez as Gotham City police detective Renee Montoya. Ewan McGregor will play Black Mask and Chris Messina will play the sadistic serial killer Victor Zsasz.

The movie is due to be released on February 7, 2020.

Speaking with Slash Film, the director of IT: Chapter Two Andi Muschietti said that he wanted to pay tribute to del Toro who was an executive producer for his 2013 debut film Mama by offering him a cameo in the upcoming horror sequel.

According to him the plan almost came to fruition. “I wanted Guillermo in the movie,” said Muschietti. “We were this close. He was going to play the janitor that Ben runs into when he’s running away from Pennywise.”

In the same interview, writer Gary Dauberman, addressed the length of the movie, which at 2 hours 49 minutes is irregular for a horror film. “Yes, there were lots of concerns about the length. But we always had the motto of, if it feels long, then it is long. We watched it and – I’ve watched a lot of hour and a half movies that feel like four hours. So if we’re watching a movie that’s two hours and forty minutes and it doesn’t feel like that, that was our win.”

According to the reports, the reason for this rating is “disturbing violent content and bloody images throughout, pervasive language, and some crude sexual material”.

Jessica Chastain, one of the film stars, talked about the film on a panel in San Diego Comic-Con. “I love horror films”, she said. “I love Carrie, and I said, ‘Let’s make Carrie on steroids.’ And that’s what we did and it literally tortured me because I didn’t realize that it would be that way the whole movie”.

Hints about the extra level of gore in the film were dropped for quite some time now, and Chastain herself revealed in the past that it contains some of the bloodiest scenes she has ever seen. the first film was rated 15 in the UK which is equivalent to an R rating in the US. The sequel is yet to receive a rating.

The anticipated sequel will hit the theaters on September 6th. It stars Chastain as Beverly Marsh, James McAvoy as Bill Denbrough, Bill Hader as Richie Tozier, Isaiah Mustafa as Mike Hanlon, Andy Bean as Stanley Uris, Jay Ryan as Ben Hanscom, and James Ransone as Eddie Kaspbrak. Bill Skarsgard who portrayed the terrifying Pennywise in the first film will continue to scare us also and the kids from the first film will return too.
