This documentary focuses on the actors and their journey over two summers to create the remake to the original IT, by Stephen King. The documentary originally released as bonus material, bundled with IT: Chapter Two.
A behind-the-scenes documentary bundled as bonus material for IT: Chapter Two, offering genuine insight into the production of the sequel but remaining firmly in the territory of a standard making-of featurette. The subject matter is inherently interesting given the scale and ensemble cast of the film, lending some warmth and personality to the piece, but the format is conventional and the cinematography is functional at best. Novelty is low as making-of documentaries for major studio films are a familiar, well-worn form with little distinctive voice here. Acting is not truly applicable but the subjects are engaging on camera. The ending wraps up in a satisfying if unremarkable way.
