Casting has begun for the long-developing project, which has officially locked down the role of Pennywise the terrifying clown, along with at least one of the young kids he’ll be tormenting.
Pennywise is arguably the most difficult role to cast, requiring a distinct and sort of eccentric actor who isn’t afraid to get real ugly with it.
Gary Dauberman (Annabelle) delivered a new draft of the screenplay based on the previous version by Cary Fukunaga and Chase Palmer.
Midnight Special newcomer Jaeden Lieberher will play Bill Denbrough, previously portrayed by the late Jonathan Brandis in the miniseries adaptation.
