The book takes place in the 1950s, but Warner Bros.

There were so many aspects and scenes that were not TV appropriate in the 90s that took place in the book, but now that we have a hard R movie, we can see the truly evil side of IT. His outfit is different and this time around Pennywise seems more sinister and attacks his victims faster and more violently as we see in that first opening scene with little Georgie looking for his paper boat that went into the sewer.Īndy Muschietti took over as director here and mostly stuck to the book, which is a good thing. It’s not the same playful Pennywise from the 90s TV movie, though. Let me just say that if you have a phobia or are scared of clowns in any way, this film will be quite frightening for you. Bill Skarsgård fills the clown shoes of a 1993 Tim Curry as Pennywise and does a very good job. Despite the production issues, this modern version of Stephen King’s IT is a success in many ways, but has a few tiny flaws. Pennywise the Dancing Clown is back in Derry, Maine after a long hiatus and troubled production.
