Who The Heck Is This Guy?

The reason they changed the timelines is an appropriate one for an adaptation of this particular story. The main theme of the book is remembering childhood. King exercises this very thing through the writing, putting his own memories into the words. By adapting the story into the 80s, the filmmakers were able to do the same. It also adds to the authenticity of a believable world.

So does my ex but I wouldn't pay to see her play Pennywise.

He's not as pretty as his older brother (Alexander Skarsgard--I know he's supposed to be a hottie, but I'm meh about him. I'd choose his dad, Stellan, anyway--lol ), but I think he's a more interesting actor. I hope people give him a chance.

Well, I think we can all agree that Bill did an excellent job playing Pennywise.

That is exactly how I feel. It doesn't matter which 27 years.

Last I heard this is gonna be updated, as in all the 1950s scenes will be in the nineties. If this is so, then...BLEEEEECHHHH.

Foot planted firmly in my mouth!

Just shows to go ya, keep an open brain.

Loved IT!

I thought that Skarsgard was a very good Pennywise/IT. I still have a soft spot for Tim Curry's performance. I grew up on the miniseries.

Bit of a resemblance in this photo (this is a very young Tim Curry)
