First look at Pennywise the Clown in “It” reboot lands on InternetJuly 14, 2016 - 12:47 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Bill Skarsgard's transformation into the iconic Pennywise the Clown in "It" remake is revealed. The actor is unrecognizable in the photo courtesy of Entertainment Weekly. He wears a thick white makeup with yellow eyes as he stares down the camera, AceShowbiz reports. Instead of going with a messy and smeared look like Batman's The Joker, the new Pennywise has a neat makeup. "It's important that we do something fresh and original for this one. It's purposely not going toward that weird, greasy look," Skarsgard explains. "It's such an extreme character. Inhumane. It's beyond even a sociopath, because he's not even human. He's not even a clown. I'm playing just one of the beings It creates," the actor says. "What's funny to this evil entity might not be funny to everyone else. But he thinks it's funny." "There's a childishness to the character, because he's so closely linked to the kids," he adds. "The clown is the manifestation of children's imaginations, so there's something child-like about that." To prep himself for the role although he says he will never be able to portray the character "as good as [the actor in the original movie] Tim Curry," Skarsgard has been "doing some clown research." He says, "I'm not sure if there was so much clown phobia before the novel. There's obviously been this thing where people find clowns are unsettling, but nobody explored it the way Stephen King did."
