“If someone else gets to do it, my advice would just be: do it your own, make it your own, have fun with it, you know what I mean? What I thought was so pleasurable about that character was how incredibly abstract he was,” Skarsgård said. If Skarsgård doesn’t return, he shared some guidance for the next actor tasked with haunting the people of Derry. Pennywise should again play an integral role as the series explores the origins of the terrifying clown. The prequel series will take place in the 1960s before the events of It: Chapter One. If nothing else, Bill Skarsgard can now put, "Skilled at making kids cry" on his acting resume in the future.RELATED: Welcome To Derry Officially Gets a Series Order at HBO Max That said, the teaser trailer for IT got everyone tremendously excited and everything we are hearing, this included (sorry, kids) makes it sound more and more like what director Andres Muschietti accomplished will be worth the wait. Stephen King fans have been waiting an awfully long time to see Pennywise done properly on the big screen, so screwing it up is not an option. If anything, it should make all of the scares feel more genuine when IT hits theaters on September 8. What am I doing? What is this? This is horrible.'"īill Skarsgard, the son of actor Stellan Skarsgard ( Good Will Hunting, Thor), clearly had mixed feelings about what he was doing on set, but what would an IT movie be if it wasn't truly scary? This, coupled with what we have seen of his performance in the trailers, leads us to believe that he definitely nailed it, despite him thinking what he was doing at the time was quite horrible. So some of these kids got terrified and started to cry in the middle of the take, and then I realized, 'Holy shit. He started to cry and the director yelled, 'Action!' And when they say 'action,' I am completely in character. Some of them were really intrigued, but some couldn't look at me, and some were shaking. Their parents have brought them in, these little extras, right? And then I come out as Pennywise, and these kids, young, normal kids, I saw the reaction that they had. At one point, they set up this entire scene, and these kids come in, and none of them have seen me yet. I tried to maintain some sort of weirdness about the character, at least when I was in all the makeup. "It's a really weird thing to go, 'If I succeed at doing what I'm trying to do with this character, I'll traumatize kids.' On set, I wasn't very friendly or goofy. During the conversation, he was asked about being nightmare fuel for children in the years to come after the movie hits theaters, and that's when he revealed that he is probably already going to be what bad dreams are made of for a group of child actors who were working with him on IT. While speaking to his brother Alexander Skarsgard for Interview Magazine, Bill Skarsgard couldn't avoid talking about being Pennywise in IT, which looks like it could be a major breakout role for him. If the job of Pennywise is to be scary, it sounds like he did a damn fine job, because he made a bunch of kids cry on set while filming the new IT movie. Tim Curry is known for bringing the terrifying clown Pennywise to life the 1990 TV miniseries, but it is Bill Skarsgard who has to carry the weight this time around. Not only are we finally getting that Dark Tower movie that has been kicking around for what seems like forever, but after many years, a big screen version of IT is finally making its way to theaters. A lot of attention is being paid to the cherished works of author Stephen King this year.
