The first half of Andy Muschietti’s It adaptation hasn’t even landed in theaters yet, but rumor has it the sequel may be rolling into production in a matter of days. According to a new update on the website My Entertainment World, the sequel is set to start rolling on March 17, 2017 under the secret title Accordion with the following synopsis.

A promise made twenty-eight years ago calls seven adults to reunite in Derry, Massachusetts, where as teenagers they battled an evil creature that preyed on the city’s children. Unsure that their Losers Club had vanquished the creature all those years ago, the seven had vowed to return to Derry if IT should ever reappear.

I’ll take this with a grain of salt for now considering we haven’t even seen a trailer for the first installment yet, but the website has a pretty good track record for reliable intel and it’s certainly possible that early cuts of the film have given New Line a boost of confidence. Previously, it was assumed that the studio would wait to see of the first installment fared at the box office before pulling the trigger on the sequel.

Stephen King‘s novel is split across the two timelines, interweaving the narrative of the children’s experience with the monstrous It and their adult counterparts twenty years later, but New Line’s feature adaptation split those narratives down the middle into two separate films. The first installment of It will introduce Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise the child-murdering clown and the young members of the losers club played by Jaeden Lieberher, Finn Wolfhard, Nicholas Hamilton, Jack Dylan Grazer, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs, and Jeremy Ray Taylor. In addition to Pennywise, there will be some creeptacular horror courtesy of creature performer Javier Botet as The Leper.

It arrives In theaters September 8, 2017.
