Holy shIT, you guys.
Just yesterday we shared with you a couple new images of Pennywise from Andy Muschietti’s IT, which were scanned from a film magazine. The images were awesome despite not being the best quality, which is why we’re delighted to see that a high-res, official version of the coolest one has just been revealed.
Honestly, this is one of the single most incredible shots from a horror movie that I’ve come across in a long time. It reminds me of an image that’d be on the cover of Fangoria Magazine, one that would’ve made me so excited as a kid. It’s equal parts stunning and terrifying, and I already just made it my new desktop background.
I realize that all reads like hyperbole. But goddamn, I mean it.
In the new adaptation…
A group of young kids face their biggest fears when they seek answers to the disappearance of children in their hometown of Derry, Maine. They square off against an evil clown named Pennywise, whose history of murder and violence dates back for centuries.
The kids in peril, the Losers’ Club, include Sophia Lillis, Jaeden Lieberher, Finn Wolfhard, Jack Dylan Grazer, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs and Jeremy Ray Taylor. Javier Botet will play The Leper, and Nicholas Hamilton plays Henry Bowers. The cast also includes Owen Teague, who plays bully Patrick Hocksetter. Bill Skarsgard is our new Pennywise.
The film will be in theaters September 8, 2017.
