Fans and non-believers
here is our very first look at Bill Skarsgård ("Hemlock Grove") as
the hellish murderous clown Pennywise in the newest adaptation of Stephen King's
It.
Mama director Andy
Muscietti replaces Cary Fukunaga at the helm of the project after creative
differences forced the latter to exit the project. At the time of his
involvement, Fukunaga had picked Will Poulter ("The Revenant") to
play Pennywise after Ben Mendelsohn's (the director's first choice) Rogue One scheduling
put him out of the run to play the role.
"It’s such an
extreme character. Inhumane. 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," Skarsgård told EW.
It will be split into
two films. The first film will follow the Losers
Club, a group of teenagers who defeat the terrifying clown, while the second
film will be set years later and focus on the creature's return and the now
grown-up teens who have to team-up once again to fight the killer clown even
though they have no recollection of their first encounter.
Opening
in theaters on September 8, 2017, It also stars Jack Dylan Grazer, Finn
Wolfhard, Jaeden Lieberher, Wyatt Oleff, Jeremy Ray Taylor, and Chosen Jacobs.
