First STEPHEN KING’S IT Image Shows Pennywise Being Horrifying

Next year, Stephen King’s It will return to live-action for the first time in 27 years. This time, King’s story is heading to the big screen with Bill SkarsgÃ¥rd stepping into the oversized shoes of Pennywise the Clown, the most famous form of the otherworldly creature known as It. Now, we’ve received a new glimpse of Pennywise in one of its favorite hunting grounds.

Entertainment Weekly debuted the latest image of Skarsgård in costume as Pennywise, which finds the demonic clown in the sewer beneath the town of Derry as he presumably lures another young victim to their doom.


Seeing that pic, we can’t help but compare it to this famous image of Tim Curry as Pennywise from the 1990 TV miniseries of Stephen King’s It.

A clown living in the sewers who wants to make friends? Seems legit! And while SkarsgÃ¥rd’s incarnation of Pennywise is noticeably younger than Curry’s take on the character, director Andrés Muschietti told EW that the creature’s sense of theatrical horror will remain intact.

“Pennywise shows up, he’s front and center, and he does his show,” Muschietti said. “He has an act. So it’s weird all the time, and every little thing implies a further threat.” In other words, don’t take any balloons from this clown!

Stephen King’s It will haunt moviegoers on September 8, 2017.
