![]() But whatever the case is, the pictures show Bill's dedication towards his character nonetheless. As of now, it is not clear if the movie's director Andes Muschietti will directly be inspired from the book or will change the scene as per the script's demand. The Skarsgard kids include: Alexander, born in 1976, Gustaf in 1980, then Sam in 1982, Bill in 1990, Eija following in 1992, and finally Valter in 1995. Fans of the film may remember the statue from the first part and as per the book, Pennywise will reportedly take over the body of the statue to terrorize the young version of Richie Tozier. In the released set photo from the sequel of It movie, Bill Skarsgard is dressed as Pennywise and can be seen sitting on the shoulder of a Paul Bunyan statue. The latest pictures from the It: Chapter Two movie set shows the ongoing production of the film and how Bill is trying hard to recreate the iconic scene. The actor previously amazed everyone when he was shown spreading the terror in Maine, and now he is taking a scene from Stephen King's mammoth novel and bringing it onto the big screen. So look at IT as an extension of Goonies or Stranger Things, a PG-13 romp, not an iconic horror movie.Filming of Stephen King's It 2 is currently undergoing in Toronto, Canada and Bill Skarsgard's is back as Pennywise the Dancing Clown. No good horror movie can get away by being light on scares, however good the characters and the script are. Director Andy Muschietti's earlier take on the genre- Mama, is a far better contender. Oh please, that would be laying it too thick. ![]() Other reviewers are putting IT right up there with other Stephen King adaptions such as The Shining and The Thing. director of photography Editing by Nicholas Helmsley.

But for sheer impact, IT never reaches the highs it achieves in its first sequence. The movie takes place in a town where all the adults are essentially villains- so its not just the kids versus the clowns everyone else. A wonderful group of actors face off against Bill Skarsgard's Pennywise the Dancing Clown, and they all nail their parts. It all seems very easy for today's generation to figure things out- most of IT establishes this narrative. We are used to kids doing stupendous stuff these days- whether running billion dollar companies, or bringing back lost souls from other dimensions. Probably so because today, we are used to Stranger Things. Juxtapose that with an eternal evil shape-shifting entity who wakes up every 27 years to prey, and you have a shawarma of a plot. In IT, King reversed Spielberg's E.T, and explored everyday monsters of childhood- abuse, violence and neglect. His stories are studies on relationships rather than all out horror. But that is what typically Stephen King is all about.

All the kids are well cast, the script is funny and tight, and there are plenty of monster shots. A bunch of kids, outcasts in their own right, being terrorized by an ancient demon that plays upon the fears of its victims is pretty much the standard in Hollywood horror movie territory. I mean it was a good movie, no doubt about that. So I went and saw IT, and came back unimpressed.
