New “Creating Pennywise” Featurette Includes Behind the Scenes ‘IT’ Footage
“I wanted to create something unsettling. This feeling that you never know what’s gonna happen when the clown’s around.”
To say that director Andy Muschietti and actor Bill Skarsgård did justice to Pennywise with this year’s IT would probably be a massive understatement. Skarsgård’s Pennywise is both deeply terrifying and instantly iconic in his own right; dare I say, the new Pennywise is one of the coolest movie monsters we’ve seen since the ’80s.
In this new featurette video just uploaded today, Muschietti, Skarsgård and other members of the cast and crew talk about the creation of the new Pennywise, who was kept away from the young stars in an effort to elicit a natural reaction of terror from them the first time they come face to face with the killer clown.
“I was so freaked out,” recalled Finn Wolfhard.
The featurette video contains behind the scenes footage of Skarsgård on set as Pennywise, which is a real treat ahead of the forthcoming home video release.
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
