Doesn't even come close to being as frightening as Tim Curry's version.

He made an entire generation of children afraid of clowns

 

[JDinkalage Morgoone]

The best part of Curry's incarnation was that it wasn't in our face every second of the movie.

I am still holding out hope, I really liked Finn Wolfhard in Stranger Things so hopefully the rest of the child cast does a good job.

 

[GarbageGoal]

I thought Pennywise as an entity dated back hundreds of years which might explain the older style costume.

Bill Skarsgård?

That's what they are going for

IDK, it looks pretty creepy. Its tough to compare because I was an actual kid when the Curry version was out and it terrified me for weeks on end, so its not fair to this version based on that alone.

exactly

I watched It as a 10 year old and scared the crap out of me for years

I'm an adult now and I'm not so easily scared

They should just get Tim Curry again!

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Pretty creepy to me....

Aye, so the costume is pretty much on point. That clown looks too nerdy though. But hard not comparing him with Curry's perfect portrayal anyway.

adults too !

Have you seen him recently?

This suit seems much more in line with the book. I don't have my copy at home with me but when the kids first see the clown, he has the old fashioned suit. It is silver and grey with big bright orange buttons. They even got the hair and the cracked makeup right. Pennywise should not look like a normal clown.

[...] He was wearing a baggy silk suit with great big ornage buttons. A bright tie, electric blue, flopped down his front and on his hands were big white gloves, like the kind Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck always wore. [...]

Hahaha **** I need to read the book again.

 

[ShameOnYouZidlicky]

I wonder how it will turn out. I recommend this book to anybody who enjoys the horror genre. Scared the absolute **** out of me when I read it as a teenager.

shouldn't be too hard to improve on the TV movie. that was pretty bad.

 

[ap3x]

Curry aside, yes.

 

[Power Man]

My favorite scene from the OG movie was when they were reading that book and we start to see a footage then Pennywise shows up and runs towards them

 

[Power Man]

Btw they released the first pic of the Losers club and the kid who plays Mike in Stranger things is playing one of the kids
Helloooooo typecasting

I saw IT when I was younger and then again years later and thought Curry's portrayal had a couple scary moments but overall was more campy than anything else. But that's just me. Will have to see how this one does.
