![]() His voice and body language make him that much more terrifying, with the latter carrying an especially nightmarish anti-rhythm to it. However, it also works in Skarsgard's favor due to the how much it leaves the audience genuinely dreading what he's going to do to the unsuspecting children. ![]() His clown look more resembles something one would expect to see in a Marilyn Manson music video than a pie-tossing, unicycle-riding clown, as Curry's Pennywise so convincingly embodied. There's no better word to describe Bill Skarsgard's Pennywise than monstrous. By this point, Pennywise is a pure force of terror on The Loser's Club, but the film hasn't lost sight of his ability to lure his prey into his clutches either, as we see when he corners Bill's wife, Audra, with his " deadlights" and turns the group's old bully Henry Bowers into his own personal assassin against his returning enemies. This is particularly exemplified in the scene in the Derry library, with the adult Richie being the only person able to see or hear Pennywise and being left unnerved and panicked as the evil clown cracks jokes and blood-filled balloons pop all around him. However, he still maintains his blend of dark humor and circus antics in a clear bid to drive them insane. What's more, the design of Curry's Pennywise has a predatory edge on that of Skarsgard's, with the latter much more tailor made to frighten children (and adults), while Curry resembles the innocuous look of a clown seen at any carnival.Įlsewhere in the film, Curry is more haunting and antagonistic towards The Loser's Club, particularly once they encounter him again as adults. Pennywise then proceeds to lure Georgie to his demise with his toy boat as bait, but its his ability to gain the trust of children and present himself as a friendly, affable clown that is his true deadliest weapon against those he preys upon. Pennywise, in turn, commends the wisdom of the parental advice Georgie's been given, before introducing himself by name, thus circumventing Georgie's concerns on the grounds that " Now we know each other". The crew have already received support from over 20 of the cast and crew, including acquiring over 2 hours of never-before-seen set footage from SFX wizard Bart Mixon, as well as loads of archival and behind-the-scenes photos and there is no doubt that by the time of production many more key players will be attached to share their amazing stories about one of the most iconic movies ever-made.His first scene in which he lures the young Georgie into a sewer is every parent's worst nightmare, a true " Don't take candy from strangers" moment, so much so that the film even directly addresses it, with Georgie commenting that he's not supposed to talk to strangers. Supported by dozens of the original cast and crew including Tim Curry, Tommy Lee Wallace and Bart Mixon Pennywise is made by fans of the IT for fans of IT. ![]() A fully independent retrospective into the making of Stephen King’s IT and its cultural impact over the last 28 years.
