Just last week it was announced that “Hemlock Grove’s” Bill Skarsgård has been tapped to play the iconic clown, Pennywise, in the latest adaptation of Stephen King’s It.
While we have no idea what director Andy Muschietti‘s interpretation will look like, imgur user CodyOng gave us a taste of what Skarsgård would have looked like if he had starred in the 1990 It television, as opposed to Tim Curry. The art, below, has a slightly feminine look as opposed to the dreadful nature of Curry. Again, this is just fan art, and leaves it open to interpretation.
Also starring in It, set for release on September 8, 2017, are: Jaeden Lieberher (Midnight Special), Finn Wolfhard (“Stranger Things”), Jack Dylan Grazer (Tales of Halloween ), Wyatt Oleff (Guardians of the Galaxy ), Chosen Jacobs (Cops and Robbers) and Jeremy Ray Taylor (Ant-Man).
It follows a group of kids called The Loser’s Club and the aftermath of a tragedy that befalls one of them. The adaptation is being broken into two parts, the first of which follows the children while the second follows the characters as adults.
