We’ve likewise been hearing from early reviews that the IT movie doesn’t clown around, when it comes to delivering some serious scares.
While Curry’s performance as Pennywise was memorable and praiseworthy, it was sometimes difficult to grasp what the clown’s true motivations were in the IT miniseries.
Skarsgard has revealed that, in fact, he thinks it’s important to make the character his own and not just rehash Curry’s performance.
Now, Skarsgard is stepping into the clown’s shoes for director Andy Muschietti’s film adaptation of the novel and audiences should expect to see a whole new version of Pennywise.
