IT: Welcome to Derry | Inside Episode 8 | HBO Max
Transcript
00:00The final act is a combination of needs.
00:05We needed a ticking clock, a geographical environment
00:10that created that tension.
00:12This particular ending is just the tip of the iceberg.
00:20It was very intense.
00:21Andy and Bill are very good friends,
00:30a bit of cosmic twin situation.
00:37It's important for me and for Bill,
00:39especially to find new things about the character every time.
00:43Pennywise is always trying to lure a child into some game,
00:48or he seems very charming,
00:49and then he twists his behavior into something dark.
00:53Every time we say...
01:00The Deadlights, they're described as variously
01:03the true form of Pennywise.
01:05The Deadlights are an interdimensional entity,
01:08and if a human looks at them,
01:10it's just too much for the human brain to comprehend.
01:20How can it have taken all of them?
01:22How?
01:27The final confrontation with all the kids and the clown fighting back,
01:31that is a titanic fight that has so many details,
01:35and it happens in an environment that is so vertical and so big.
01:39I wanted to illustrate the influence of it.
01:45That's why we created the fog.
01:47It's not only walking towards the open gate,
01:50but also like a fog expanding just a little bit ahead of him.
01:56Filming on the Pimscott River was actually really, really fun.
02:01It was a lot of fog,
02:04and also it was really cool watching all the kids like float.
02:13Well, look who decided to join the circus.
02:19There is so much snow flowing in our hair
02:22and getting in our eyes,
02:23and the fog is crazy,
02:25and some parts of the floor are slippery,
02:28so we like to just, like, slide.
02:31Let's go with the dagger!
02:32Let's go with the dagger!
02:36The dagger is this iconic element.
02:38It's the charm that our heroes use to reseal the cage.
02:43We needed an iconic landmark
02:45to mark very clearly what is the point of no return.
02:50We created this geography
02:51in which it's marked by the Pimscott River,
02:54and at the other end of the shore there's a tree.
02:59The dagger, basically the object that finally saves the day.
03:04But will they get there in time?
03:07Dad! Dad!
03:09Take the dagger.
03:10Take it to the tree.
03:12Joe is one of these dark characters.
03:16He believes that people can be controlled by fear.
03:21This is a story about the weaponization of fear.
03:24You're free.
03:26You're free to go.
03:28At the end, because Pennywise doesn't discern much,
03:31it has an animalistic side to it.
03:33Also, his path to freedom is already granted,
03:36so he eats his liberator.
03:39I never forget a smell.
03:42Stop.
03:45You stay back!
03:49No!
03:51When Rose sees Tanyl's fate,
03:55when I heard that first gut-curdling scream from Kimberly,
03:58I just felt so emotional.
04:00It was so intense because that moment on the frozen river
04:06is a make or break for the entire future of humanity.
04:10The level of intensity that had to be maintained,
04:14I don't think I've ever experienced something that was ongoing like this.
04:20There's not only Pennywise that is about to cross the line,
04:24but also the dagger that will stop him from crossing the line.
04:28He wants to go back, so it's basically pushing you back to where it belongs.
04:32The pushing the dagger part took so long.
04:35And it was very tiring,
04:38because in some shots they had this rig,
04:40where we actually could push as hard as we can.
04:42There's a whole range of obstacles and adversity in that final act.
04:4734 tango, take nine.
04:51Hey, you!
04:53Having a little bit of trouble, are we?
04:55Keep tugging that thing and it just might pop!
04:59So long, Lucy!
05:00Richie comes back as a ghost, and he runs, he slides, and then he helps his friends.
05:20For Halloran to see the ghost of this sweet kid
05:22who sacrificed his own life for someone else,
05:24to actually be the final thing that helps the kids
05:27push the creature back into its cage.
05:30That was a very healing thing for Dick,
05:31and we wanted to give Dick that closure.
05:37The victory in this season is that they sealed the cage.
05:42There's the promise that he's back in the cage and he will not go out.
05:46He's still alive, as we know from watching the movies.
05:50I would like for both of you to join us.
05:54Make sure that your old friends, or anybody else for that matter,
05:56never tries to reopen that cage.
05:59I think the reason why Rose passes the torch of this duty to protect this town
06:03is because she knows that Leroy and Charlotte have a strong sense of duty.
06:08This isn't the end of the story.
06:10For us, it was very important that the Hanlons stay in town
06:13because eventually we meet Mike Hanlon, who is the first person we see in IT Chapter 1.
06:24Mike with his grandfather Leroy, who is now a sheep farmer.
06:31What was very important for us was not only to link Welcome to Dairy to the movies,
06:38but show some of the bloodlines.
06:41Marge is Richie's mom.
06:44These kids will give birth to the kids that end up killing Pennywise.
06:52There's a scene in the epilogue of season finale, which Marge and Lily are talking,
06:58and there's a very interesting speculation that maybe IT experiences time in a different way.
07:04He said, to him, the past, present, and future are all the same,
07:10and that his death was actually his birth.
07:15Maybe IT is not going forward.
07:17In this case, maybe IT can go back,
07:20which opens a window of speculation.
07:24There's a lot of mythology to be unveiled,
07:26but one thing we know is that IT is an evil deity that was punished and was sent to Earth.
07:50Oh dear, don't be sad.
07:52You know what they say about Dairy.
07:57No one who dies here ever really dies.
08:01Oh, what have you done through my heart?
08:22No one who dies here in the new house is dressed in a smoothness,
08:32because there are no several rhythms in warm quantities because it's the same.
08:34But they come.
08:35It's another one who does this for those somit away.
08:37Using a little donut sharing and it sucks the same vibe.
08:42Probably a little wouldn't stick quite to it so the whole problem.
08:45But when they have more,
08:47you don't have to wait so much for those who don't see it.
