Andy Muschietti Wanted Guillermo del Toro to Have a Cameo in IT: CHAPTER TWO
Guillermo del Toro was so enchanted by Andy Muschietti’s short film Mama, he produced a feature film version; released in 2013, the creeper launched Muschietti’s career. Now, we’re hearing that Muschietti hoped to return the favor by giving del Toro a cameo in IT: Chapter Two. Here’s what he told our friends at /Film:
“I wanted Guillermo in the movie. We were this close. He was going to play the janitor that Ben runs into when he’s running away from Pennywise. That scene, of course, would have been like five minutes longer if Guillermo was in it.”
