Author Description

The official behind-the-scenes companion to New Line Cinema’s international blockbusters IT and IT Chapter Two. The 2017 film IT brought a disturbing new vision to Stephen King’s classic horror novel of the same name. In 2019, the story continued with IT Chapter Two, in which Bill Skarsgard delivered another acclaimed performance as the terrifying Pennywise the Clown. Collecting the best artwork produced during the making of both of these films—including concept art, sketches, storyboards, and behind-the-scenes photography—The World of IT explores the films’ singular aesthetic and meticulous world-building. This compendium includes commentary from director Andy Muschietti; producer Barbara Muschietti; the acclaimed ensemble cast; and other creative players who helped bring King’s perennial bestseller to life.
