A new look at Bill Skarsgard's Pennywise the Clown in "It" has arrived online. While the previous photo only showed a close snapshot of his face, this one offers a glimpse at his full portrait. With a smirk on his face, the evil clown stands hunched in his period costume with too-short pants that "gave the character a child-like quality."
Emmy-winning costume designer Janie Bryant created the outfit with inspirations from Medieval, Renaissance, Elizabethan and Victorian eras. "The costume definitely incorporates all these otherworldly past lives, if you will," the designed explained to Entertainment Weekly. "He is definitely a clown from a different time."
Directed by Andy Muschietti ("Mama"), the new take on Stephen King's classic horror story is scheduled to arrive Stateside on September 8, 2017.
