Want to see a baby Pennywise?
The Big Picture While the 1980s miniseries starring Tim Curry certainly gave nightmares to a generation of younger viewers, the now comical television adaptation is not nearly as terrifying as the madness that director Andy Muschietti brought to life with his two-part adaptation of Stephen King’s epic horror novel It. Muschietti understood that the terror of It wasn’t just the literal threat of Pennywise the Clown , but what he represented. Pennywise captures the essence of childhood trauma.
According to Skarsgard, a sequence had been shot that took place in the 17th century and featured a youthful Pennywise. Skarsgard explained that Pennywise was “this thing that can take any shape or form, and it’s taken this shape of a clown,” and suggested that “the idea is the It entity was dormant for thousands and thousands of years.
Why Was Pennywise’s Origin Story Cut? While providing a more definitive explanation for why Pennywise takes on the essence of this particular clown, Muschietti felt that providing an origin tale for such an otherworldly figure of evil would have robbed the audience of the character’s mysterious quality. Muschietti revealed that while “something similar” takes place within the novel, viewers may have felt cheated of Pennywise’s ambiguities.
