Pennywise the Dancing Clown , who terrorizes a mathematical group of misfit Thomas Kyd dubbed the " Losers ' Club " in King ’s history , was made far-famed by Tim Curry ’s performance in the 1990sITTV miniseries - which corrupt the mysterious shapeshifter to life and horrified viewers with his iconic jape and penchant for pulling nipper into storm drains .

" I ’ve gotten that question a raft during interview . I have a slight resistance in telling it . It ’s a unearthly thing to reveal … it ’s ours . you could say the novel . you may find out the motion picture , and you may have your own interpretation of what he is . But we have a very - such a vast important matter for me doing the film was not only having Andy but having Andy ’s trust in me - and our collaboration in doing the graphic symbol . We were never in variance about the psychology behind him . There is a chapter that we would go back to , that ’s where Stephen King kind of writes , sort of subjectively through " It". And you could go and look at it in the novel . There ’s a lot of clues to sort of the mind behind him … for me going into it . "
" After I booked the job - we had like 10 day or something before we lead off shooting . " I need to go through this 1200 page script " But I also had that whole degree before I tried the make - up on - it was just me intellectualizing the character . What was the psychology behind him ? How does he function , how does he wreak ? Why does he work ? Why is he even around ? Does he even survive , apart from in the resource of kids ? This whole affair - almost experiential matter that is very genuine in the leger if you record it . And then once I get the make - up on , now I need to embody this thing and this is the third and final stage of the process . "
