Pennywise Emerges in New 'It' Remake Images

With 2016 coming to an end and 2017 just on the horizon, we're all gearing up for what's to come in the form of film for 2017. One of the most talked about films to come in the new year is the remake of the Stephen King classic 'IT'

The original was a made for tv 2 part special, and although a great stand a lone movie, it done no justice to that of the writings of Stephen King. As a fan of the book it is quite incredible as to just how much they missed out in the film, but what we do tend to forget, is that this was a made for tv film in the 90's, so there was bound to be restrictions.

The best news about this upcoming remake is that although there have been some changes, they do seem to be making it a lot darker and hopefully sticking to the original brutalness and darkness of the character who we've all grown to know as 'Pennywise'.

Below is a side by side comparison of the new look Pennywise on the left and the old look on the right.

Now although in the book King describes Pennywise as “…a cross between Ronald McDonald and that old TV clown, Bozo – or so he thought at first. It was the wild tufts of orange hair that brought such comparisons to mind. But later consideration had caused him to think the clown really looked like neither. The smile painted over the white pancake was red, not orange, and the eyes were a weird shiny silver. Contact lenses, perhaps… but a part of him thought then and continued to think that maybe the silver had been the real color of those eyes. He wore a baggy suit with big orange-pompom buttons; on his hands were cartoon gloves.”

I feel this version of Pennywise will connect to the audience better and help portray just how evil he is.

What ever may come of it, we can only hope it will be better than the original, in the mean time enjoy this picture that has just emerged of Pennywise in a sewer pipe form the set of 'IT'
