"Coulrophobia.

No need to look it up. It's what you're feeling right now. The unreasonable fear of clowns.

Maybe it's not so unreasonable."

IT is based on Stephen King's iconic book that follows a group of seven children who were terrorized by the eponymous being that exploits the fears and phobias of its victims in order to disguise itself while hunting its prey. The story is actually being split into two movies, with the first centering on the children, and the second focusing on the same characters as adults, as they reunite to defeat IT once and for all.

Will Poulter was originally attached to star as the horrific clown named Pennywise, but it is unclear if he is still attached. The actor himself doesn't know, saying he was originally selected by director Cary Fukunaga before the filmmaker dropped out, and that he fit Fukunaga's vision, which is decidedly different from the incarnation that is going before cameras soon.

Andres Muschietti is set to direct, with producer Roy Lee revealing in February that the adaptation will be rated R, with production starting later this year.

Director Andres Muschietti's Instagram was updated yesterday with a photo of his director's chair, and also over the weekend with a photo featuring his production office. However, a photo from 21 weeks ago offers a hand-drawn glimpse at his version of Pennywise.

New Line Cinema has been meeting with several actors who have been testing for the iconic role of Pennywise the clown in their remake of Stephen King's IT. One of the contenders mentioned was Kirk Acevedo (Dawn of the Planet of the Apes), but it wasn't clear if he was a top contender, or how many other actors the studio was meeting with. Now we have word that Bill Skarsgard (Hemlock Grove) is in final negotiations for this coveted role.

"It's such an extreme character. Inhumane," Skarsgård says. "It's beyond even a sociopath, because he's not even human. He's not even a clown. I'm playing just one of the beings It creates."

It's an even better book. Pretty long though so unless it's a series they'll be cutting a lot to fit it in a movie. Though there's plenty of weird s*** in there they can easily cut.

Warner Bros. has released a new look at Bill Skarsgård as the terrifying clown called Pennywise in the upcoming reboot of Stephen King’s It. The studio previously released a closeup of this personification of an ageless, otherworldly evil, but the new image gives us our first look at the full head-to-toe outfit. The costume has an archaic feel to it, looking more like Harlequin than a modern circus or birthday party entertainer.

“The costume definitely incorporates all these otherworldly past lives, if you will,” says Janie Bryan, the Emmy-winning costume designer who came up with the look, in an interview with EW. “He is definitely a clown from a different time.”


“There is almost a doll-like quality to the costume,” Bryant continues. “The pants being short, the high waistline of the jacket, and the fit of the costume is a very important element. It gives the character a child-like quality.”

The Pennywise costume pulls inspiration from several different eras, including Medieval, Renaissance, Elizabethan, and Victorian. Bryant says the colors were also carefully chosen to help Pennywise blend into his surroundings.

“The pompoms are orange, and then with the trim around the cuffs and the ankles, it’s basically a ball fringe that’s a combination of orange, red, and cinnamon. It’s almost like Pennywise fades into his environment. But there are accents to pull out the definition of the gray silk.

“It makes him almost like a shadow.”

For me no one can really replace Tim Curry as Pennywise, no matter how far his version is from the actual book.
