Finn Wolfhard, Bill Hader & More 'It' Stars Recap 'Chapter One' | Vanity Fair

are you yawning right now yeah this is so morning instead of going on Wikipedia just reading a quick synopsis I'm gonna listen to these two jackasses this is everything you need to know before you go see it Chapter two not about each other too because no yeah yes the bore comes out timber six we did it that was really bad [Music] all of them went to the same school they never really talked to each other because they were all kind of separated into different groups they kind of had each other but they were considered losers it basically started with four friends Stanley bill and Ritchie and Eddie that's you my friend oh oh there was initiation and he had to do this thing called the hochstätter dance which is where I had to dance in my underwear I like the truffle shuffle it is little but I'm yeah but I wasn't that Ritchie hung out with a bunch of these kids in middle school and all of them were bullied I had the same interests and everyone just kind of bonded together and became best friends that's created the losers Club then during that summer of 1986 I'm pretty sure his 1989 cuz 27 years later is 2016 anyway that's some of 1989 is when the other losses were added on my lived in Derry but he lives on the outskirts of Derry he was getting bullied by Henry Bowers and other guys are being blew by him too when he was in a moment of need as Luther stepped up and protected him Ben joined the losers Club after he got bullied and got an H cut and she was stomach by Henry Bowers and then fell down that cliff and the losers Club kind of saved him and then invited him to the quarry and all of a sudden he was in the group the first person she really got a chance to talk to was Ben it was actually kind of the first interaction that she truly had that was kind of memorable and it really stuck with her and let her to have inseparable friendship and it's not history from there [Music] so his first encounter with Pennywise is in the form of Judith as he's putting away one of the books and his dad's office I mean that's pretty scarring on its own I would say but that kind of fear manifesting into a real thing is something that spooky spooky yeah it continues throughout his character arc in both films and that kind of trauma really affects him in the future firstly it shows Ben's talent for writing poems but it's inspired from Beverly Marsh and and anything it's a lovely little analogy of Ben his hot does burn right yeah he's burning for the girl and he keeps it so locked away that furnace inside it's so genuine and true that he has a trouble revealing that he was the actual writer right so build in burr Connor takes the credit for for a long time this is kind of where you get the feel that he's starting to be a little bit lonely and the library and it's like hey you should get friends and he's like oh I don't really want them cuz he didn't want them at a time he had books that's all I needed but then he goes in that basement to find another book and that's kind of a the first encounter with penny wise you see with him a boy egg boy [Music] which was actually one of those scary scenes for me I think it was a terrifying scene blood kind of squirts out of the sink covers her head to toe in it and also the whole bathroom and only she can see it because that's kind of its power so to say it's kind of a version of her growing up when she got her period she couldn't tell her father about it because of fear of what he might do growing up scared her because she didn't want that with her father around that was kind of a real shock to her also cuz it's all blood a lot of it [Applause] I was kind of the climax of the first film for him because he grew up with his grandfather who tie him to fear people and did not trust anyone so that moment of finding a group of good people that he felt he could trust that was the building of our relationship that would scope this whole life come on clown dance do it like you did in the thing come on say to staph infection like you're heard of a staph infection what'd I say kind of shows that my guys so hyper anal-retentive about health he's the extraordinaire of sanitary extraordinary sanitary that's what I wanted to sanitation I wanted to say sanitary but it didn't send words I [Music] think that was the beginning phases hatred towards Pennywise that's when he suspected that Georgia might be dead and that's why that's where things kind of changed for him and he felt the need to go find his brother or find out if he's dead or not all the losers felt comfortable enough to admit that they had fear and that was the moment for Mike to open up and really expose himself which isn't something that you've seen him do that was the first time he was able to really open up about something that's been so traumatic and so much of a part of his story as the losers that was the first time they got an insight into who he was it just made that bond that they had all started like the forge like it just made it like come together they started gel in the book it's incredibly important because it's you know it's something that his mother made him do it's feeling like if you could get that free so you could at one point if it was like he's satisfying his parents and some win you know as much as he is not to blame for the death of Georgie there's a feeling that not only did they lose Georgie but his parents lost their relationship their parents lost their vitality and their happiness and he blamed himself for that so that phrase becomes something that if you can get that right it's almost like it's a symbol of getting try to fix his family which he never does [Music] [Applause] we broke his arm and kind of like broke to him that it would this was like a real situation like this is a good reality and it's not just a fantasy like that's happening it's like legit and this danger so there's kind of like the breakthrough he needed are you looking at me I didn't film the scene I know maybe do more character research under them I didn't I just watch what you did in the movie I said I'll just talk as fast as that kid did Ritchie's first encounter with it he finds himself in a room full of clowns it's Pennywise exposing the fear that he has followed up inside I thought you said you wouldn't get out of this town - because I want to run towards something not away having the losers around she realizes there is some things that is worth fighting for and there is something that she doesn't want to run away from running away from this fear and running away from something you're scared of is something that she's kind of been doing her whole life and having them say that they're gonna run away not only means they're gonna run away from their fear but their artists are gonna run away from her she's very desperate to kind of keep them together cuz that's the one thing in her life that she has and so that moment she's kind of standing up against them no way begging them saying please don't leave when you're running towards something it's your decision you're the aggressor in the situation when you're running away from something you're reactive rather than being active next time we'll be better prepared no no next time bill you're insane why we all know no one else is gonna do anything Eddie was nearly killed bill and Ritchie have a disagreement I will say Ritchie is like I don't write of course no one wants to do that he wants a fight a killer Klown like I don't want something Oh hundred percent right you're scared we all are but take it back bill punched him in the face he gets pushed over he's trying to be the Alpha the group who's frankly stunned stunned and yeah broken apart this is how we pitched the movie - yeah just money yeah Warner Brothers was like and then Jack Warner came up in the grave was like ah he's like I like these two guys they're funny and just where do you think you're often out with my friends sweetie you can't go you're getting over your sickness remember my sickness okay what what's sickness ma these are they're gazebos they're gazebos they're bullet is kind of me realizing my my life has been a lie did you improv that oh yeah I get Z but was I tell you man I'm like 40 years old I would never think to do that there's much it's like ten-year-old kid I definitely think he was gonna get in reflecting on what I just read I like what it says about indifference well your kid I think the universe revolves around you that you'll always be protected and cared for that you always had the same friends it's when you were 12 then one day something bad happens and you realize that's not true he says some words that you wouldn't expect him to say and he kind of opens up his heart to everyone who's there to speak the truth in a way and I think that's really important to his character these are the worst answers let's keep going I was a fun scene well not for my cuz it'll very intense if you just ate out of dairy your parents didn't look what happened to them I still get sad every time I pass by that pile of ashes sad then I can have done it myself especially back then Mike was kind of the strong silent type but that was the moment he was able to show his strength and kind of overcome his fears becoming a more brave and confident person I was pushing him in that well yeah that was that was intense it's your fault you punch me in the face walk through water you brought me to a crackhead house and now I'm gonna have to kill this clown that one bit was because we didn't have like a last kind of like one why we'd have any one-liners in the movie some Kannada we had to add it ended up being I guess an iconic line just like nice I wish that that line was ad libbed but yeah it's a it's a blue well beep gonna base this off the book so we're just our imagination just do it on the movie you do it off the minutes that's what Ben has been creating some of the most marvelous architecture he's at the top of his game in the real estate world and he lives in a very nice house but he's very lonely we find Ritchie when it chapter 2 picks up he's doing stand-up and I don't blame me dude he is doing his name a comedy yeah but he feels like all the losers a sickness comes over them and this dread comes over and they have to and then he gets the call cuz he gets a call from Mike Mike has become a librarians assistant not actually the librarian but he is now living in the clock tower of the library and he's been researching everything that he could possibly find out like the same way that you're researching everything you can find out about it and in chapter 2 Mike was researching everything he could find out about penny wise but times 10 it's very different obsessive even bill moved our dairy pretty soon after Pennywise was defeated or as they thought defeated the first time he beat his stammer and his teens and he became what other people thought of as a hack writer but he also became a very successful writer writing horror stories and scary stories and all this stuff that happened to him in his youth that he couldn't even remember because the glamour and the magic of daily means that you forget when you leave it he never really knowing how to end the stories and never really able to replicate the love you felt for Beverly or find it in anyone else but constantly trying to chase it Beverly when we see her 27 years later is a fashion designer and she has a fashion line alongside her husband Tom Rogan because she repressed the memories of her childhood and the abuse of her childhood she continues to live a cycle of abuse makes it quite painful and complicated so it's a pattern we find Beverly repeating in the 27 years Eddy is I'd say pretty happily married dealing with some issues from his past and he gets a phone call from Mike Hanlon Stanley has married his wife Patricia and they've moved down to the south he's married his wife yep you know he's an accountant and he owns a small medium-sized firm with fur comfortable life that's it [Music] when Beverly is missing your squad is being terrorized by demon clown and you just found out that your pills are gazebos that's hilarious this is making me feel like I'm looking at tumblr or song I know if you love those fan pages they're horrible of them no it's terrible I love them that is the nine nightmare that is my version of Pennywise pre-adolescent bloggers bloggers what is this it looks like something written on a condom and expires it makes that face no sorry that's Ritchie toes you're holding back another after I met you okay Katrina loves fan ah Thank You Troy yeah Mike Hanlon deserves everything Mike Hanlon is the leader of the losers Club my cameras stayed back or all caps the losers Club Stan Mike Hanlon I cannot agree with you more he does stay back for them somewhere in there in that toast 24/7 years he misses that that camaraderie so when it's time for them to come back like there's a little bit of happiness said like like finally my friends are coming back like I get to bring my friends back and we get to do this thing again he's scared but there's something about it that he's like happy that that's good that that you know every union yeah that team's coming back the band's getting back together Ben Hanscom haystack new kid who can't catch a break ultimate fangirl will fight any one thing that tries to hurt his friends rights emo poetry and just wants to be loved dang that's a good one the only one that is maybe not true is that Justin wants to be loves because at first he was okay with not having friends I would just add to that just wants to be loved by Beverly that's it the ultimate fangirl definitely the ultimate fangirl I don't know if they're the the writer of this tweet is the ultimate fangirl if you're saying Ben is the ultimate fangirl it's half and half roses are red you have a nice complexion have you ever heard of a staph infection I hate myself no next time yes every time you sell a little piece of your soul right into that lens I mean you ever seen watched a vh1 behind the music this never ends up well for any of us one we'll go minnows look empty inside stop roaming see see develop next slide the real leader of the losers Club is Mike Hanlon syn tweet I feel like the great thing about the losers Club is that they don't really care about the titles of who is the leader exactly anybody can be a hero at any given moment right and you'll see that definitely throughout the film everybody has their superhero moment and it's a beautiful thing yeah one thing that Bill Hader said and so that PJ said the other day the one thing that they didn't realize was they had a losers Club and since they had a losers Club a group of friends like that and they were already winning yeah I mean so they just didn't realize that that's a golden nugget right there whatever you do don't think about the fact that since Stanley iris was a grade below the other losers he'd have to spend his last years of elementary middle and high school without any of his friends at the same school to support him I didn't know that I do know in the first movie when he comes he comes out of a different class than the first three and the scene in the hallway Andy told me that that's because he's in like a it's a I guess like a higher math class which makes sense doesn't make sense you eventually became the Cohen he's good with numbers yeah next what if there's no next [Music] that was let's count you down sorry that was everything we do it together that's everything you need to know before watching it chapter two and one and all of it this might not be everything you needed to know if this is a lot about what you need to know you needed to know those memes that they put on there you needed to know that before watching this the Ghostbuster is going like here's what's gonna happen right yeah just watch I just wouldn't watch but you said like don't worry cut that out that's it [Music]
