Jaeden Lieberher, Nicholas Hamilton, Javier Botet, Megan Charpentier and Stranger Things actor Finn Wolfhard co-star.
Muschietti is directing It from a screenplay adapted by Chase Palmer & Cary Fukunaga and Gary Dauberman. Dan Lin, Roy Lee, Seth Grahame-Smith, David Katzenberg and Barbara Muschietti are producing, with Marty P. Ewing, Doug Davison and Jon Silk serving as executive producers.
