ITdirector Andrés Muschietti has addressed the real - aliveness clown controversy surrounding the film . WhileITkeeps breaking box business office recordsand gains the praise of critics and audiences likewise , there ’s a group that is not peculiarly happy with this photographic film : literal - liveliness buffoon .
Prior to the release of the film , the World Clown Associationexpressed its concernover this new take on Stephen King ’s novel as it will surely trigger a new wave of coulrophobia – that is : a fear of buffoon . Now , Muschietti has opened up about this disputation and his feelings towards the film upsetting members of the professional clown community .
In an interview withTMZ(viaCinemablend ) , Muschietti was asked about his look toward real - life story merry andrew being against the motion-picture show , who argue that the portraiture of an evil clown such as Pennywise bear upon their image and job . Muschietti explained that clown are really gain from the publicity of the film , and even shared that a clown has been ask him for advice .
“ state me about it . Yeah , I have a merry andrew that is harass me – eh , not chivy me . Look , to be fair , he ’s a good guy , but he ’s been ask me , ‘ Why would I do this ? ’ I was very polite and say like , ‘ Well , nestling are scared of clowns ’ . I opine , if anything , clowns are benefiting from the promotional material . Clown concern is come back , but you cognise there ’s shivery clown and there ’s nice clown . So they should think about what kind of clown they should be , right ? I stand for , if they frighten away kids they frighten away kids because they are scary . ”
Between the depiction of malign merry andrew not only on the big covert but also on TV shows such asAmerican Horror Story , and incident like hoi polloi dress up up as clowns lurk in forests and near schools ( as it happened last year ) , the World Clown Association came up with a scout for their workfellow , remind their community that their art is to be treasured and enjoyed – and malevolent portrayals are just phantasy .
Kids are commonly frightened of clowns whether they have been break to bolt down finish ’s malevolent portrayals of clowns or not – as Muschietti explained , some buffoon are just shivery , often accidentally . On the other hand , both clowns and parent should keep in brain that , while Pennywise ’s image is that of a orca buffoon , it is , in fact , a shape - shifting entity and not exactly a clown .
in the end , it ’s up to parents to control their tyke see that characters such as Pennywise are only fabricated and can do no injury to them , and the merry andrew community should also understand that kids are almost naturally frightened of clowns , whether they are familiar with pop culture ’s vicious clowns or not .
