Here’s Who’s Testing For the Role of Pennywise! 

We’ve learned that there’s not only been auditions, but that various actors have been part of make-up tests.

One of the most exciting names in contention is Kirk Acevedo, we can exclusively report.

While many of you may know Acevedo from his roles in Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, pictured above, “Band of Brothers,” “Fringe,” and “12 Monkeys,” I became a massive fan watching him on HBO’s prison series, “Oz”.

Stephen King's 'It' Adaptation Finds Its Pennywise the Clown 

Bill Skarsgard has the It factor.

The actor, who is one of the stars of Hemlock Grove, has nabbed the role of Stephen King’s iconic villain Pennywise the Clown in New Line’s adaptation of the author’s landmark novel It.

Skarsgard is in final negotiations to star in the horror pic whose cast will also include St. Vincent actor Jaeden Lieberher, Finn Wolfhard, Jack Dylan Grazer, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs and Jeremy Ray Taylor.

Good acting pedigree. Too bad about Poulter - he has that look that could have made for an interesting Pennywise.

Casting one kid is tricky - the two versions of The Shining attest to this. Getting 6 of them right will be a near impossible task but if they can pull it off - boy, oh boy.

The kid from St. Vincent is terrific

"The kid from St. Vincent is terrific."

So, I've heard. As an aside - the picture used of him gives me a Children of the Corn vibe.

The Losers Club is complete.

Behold Pennywise the Clown's eerie costume from It remake

Lou_Sytsma

I had an interesting reaction to seeing this. The initial one was WTH? But that was quickly followed by a - holy cow that is creepy!

The costume really sets off Skarsgard's lankiness quite wonderfully. He looks like he is ready to morph into something else at any moment.

From King's message board/admin: Steve asked me to pass along that he saw a screening of IT today and wanted to let everybody know that they should stop worrying about it as the producers have done a wonderful job with the production.
