Director Andy Muschietti Still Wants to Release a Massive Supercut of Both It Films
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Director Andy Muschietti has confirmed he still wants to release a massive supercut combining both It films with hours of unused footage.
Andy Muschietti is keeping the dream of a definitive horror epic alive. During a recent press session for the upcoming television series It: Welcome to Derry, the filmmaker was asked if his long discussed extended cut combining both It and It Chapter Two into a single, seamless experience is still on the table. Muschietti confirmed that he remains very interested in pulling the project together, noting that it would feature hours of previously unseen footage left on the cutting room floor.
For fans who view these sprawling cinematic adaptations as major cultural touchstones and social viewing events, the prospect of a massive supercut is an enticing one. Modern audiences are well accustomed to extended releases, director cuts, and expansive storytelling formats that let them dive deeper into their favorite universes. While a runtime combining both films plus hours of new material would easily cross the four or five hour mark, the binge-watching culture fostered by streaming platforms has made viewers more than ready for a marathon experience of that scale.
Whether Warner Bros. ultimately greenlights the massive undertaking depends on post-production logistics and distribution priorities, but the director's enthusiasm is clear. As the franchise expands with Welcome to Derry on the horizon, revisiting the core films in a definitive, combined format could be the ultimate way to experience Stephen King's iconic story. We will be watching closely to see if this ambitious cut finally makes its way to our screens. Read the original details over at IGN South Africa.
