| 'It: Chapter Two' Bloodshed Is Thanks to Jessica Chastain's Jane Levy Height The highly talked-about sequel to the wildly popular horror movie, 'It: Chapter Two', is thanks to one of the film's stars, Jessica Chastain. Chastain portrays the adult version of the character Jane Levy, a role that required an incredible amount of blood and violence. Luckily, Chastain isn't afraid of getting a little bit messy. The source of all the bloodshed in 'It: Chapter Two' is due to Chastain's physical size. Jane Levy is diminutive in stature, but she is a powerful presence in the movie. Chastain is significantly taller than her character, but her height was used to great effect to help create the intense action scenes. Chastain harnessed her own height to make Levy's on-screen presence even more intimidating. "We used the height difference to create a bigger presence for Jane Levy," said director Andy Muschietti. "Josh [Brolin] is a bruiser, but Jessica is even stronger. We could do more with her height." Muschietti was able to utilize the height discrepancy between Chastain and Levy to make the action sequences even more intense. By emphasizing the character's diminutive size, Chastain made sure that Jane Levy was a force to be reckoned with. Chastain's stature provided an extra bit of realism to the movie, and viewers were able to experience the gruesome violence up close and personal. Everyone involved in 'It: Chapter Two' is grateful for Chastain's willingness to take on bigger roles, and for her contribution to the overall success of the movie. |
