The original ABC It TV miniseries starred Tim Curry as Pennywise the Clown, an entity who took the form of whatever its victim most feared.
Overall, however, it appears as though everyone involved is eager to produce a faithful adaptation of King’s original novel, which is great news for It and Pennywise fans.
While this will mark the first time that It has been adapted for the big screen, Skarsgård has some huge shoes to fill.
King’s tale of children facing off against the embodiment of their fears has resonated throughout the decades since its publication in 1986.
