IT: Pennywise The Clown Looks Downright Terrifying In This New Image From The Stephen King Adaptation

"They all float down here, Georgie." A new still from the upcoming remake of Stephen King's IT has found its way online, giving us a terrifying new glimpse of Pennywise the Clown as he stalks his prey.

Fans of Stephen King's horror classic, IT, will no doubt recognize the sinister scene below, as the demonic Pennywise lures poor Georgie Denbrough to his doom with the promise of a balloon.

It's a moment that was depicted very well in the 1990 TV movie, but this updated version could well give it a run for its money if this latest spine-chilling glimpse of Bill Skarsgård’s killer clown is any indication.

Here's what the remake's director Andrés Muschietti had to say to Empire about his take on Pennywise:

“There’s supposed to be a less-is-more thing in horror. It’s like you’re not really meant to show the monster. But Pennywise is different. With Pennywise, it’s like, ‘This is the monster, I’m showing it to you… and you’re going to sh*t a brick.’”

The first trailer for IT is expected to debut within the next week or two, so be sure to keep an eye out for that. The movie is set for release this September.

@BillCipher999 - Sometimes it almost looks like one of those "artists renditions (or whatever they call them) that the movie studio has done to get a better looks at what they want. It seriously looks more like an excellent painting than a photo.

@Fogs - To be honest, this needed a remake, but not like this....

@BillCipher999 - I'm just messing around. Many of those Stephen King's TV films deserve better versions.

Hard to contend with Tim Curry though

@CrazyJ - See, that above scares me more. His isn't even trying to look scary, but it is the "way" Tim talks, the subtle expressions, and the suspected evil "behind" the pleasant clown face. And the eyes and teeth. This more subtle approach is more scary to me than this new "trying to look scary" look.

I think this is one of those movies that is scary for people who have clown phobias, for the rest of us this movie looks like another unwanted remake.

@slickrickdesigns - Again, i do want a remake, but this looks quite bad.

@slickrickdesigns - I didnt know there was anyone who didnt have a clown phobia. I figured it was just a universal horror for everyone.

@slickrickdesigns - couldn't disagree more, imo this is king's greatest book and if done right could be a really great film

It will most definitely be a better movie than the original... that thing was crap.

But I'll still like Tim Curry as Pennywise better Im predicting.

Though Curry was great as Pennywise, I think a lot of people remember that earlier 90s version to be a LOT better than it actually was. This one could well turn out to be a much closer adap of the book.
