Without question , Jackson show up in hisITcostume was one of the coolest meta appearances refer to the picture show that anybody could have ever pulled off . His terrific view at the storm drain with Bill Skarsgard ’s unnerving Pennywise is not only one of the most memorable scene inIT , it ’s perhaps the most important shot because it sets the tone for the integral movie . Probably the only affair that could have been better than Jackson ’s appearance would have been Skarsgard change state up with him as Pennywise .
There was no word on whether fans mobbed Jackson at the theater once they realized who he was . No matter the instance , hopefully the actor is enjoying his anonymity , because it probably wo n’t last long after this weekend . Scott ’s purpose inITwas not only pivotal to the success of the pic , it ’s catapulted the actor to expectant fame .
