Filem IT Bukan Remake Dari TV Siri
Aktor yang membawakan watak badut Pennywise yang menakutkan, Bill Skarsgård memberitahu bahawa filem IT akan datang bukan remake dari siri TV yang popular diawal tahun 90an. Sebaliknya filem yang diarahakan oleh Andy Muschietti itu menjadi novel yang ditulis oleh Stephen King sebagai inspirasi olehnya untuk menghasilkan filem tersebut. Dalam temubualnya bersama laman web Bloody Disgusting, Skarsgård juga turut memberitahu bagaimana dia mencipta perwatakan Pennywise berdasarkan dari Novel berkenaan mengikut interprestasinya sendiri dan bagaimana filem ini berbeza dari siri TV. 
“I worked really hard to create my own interpretation of the Stephen King character. Tim Curry’s performance is understandably iconic, still, but the whole [miniseries], to me, at least, felt like something that might be worth a remake of, or rather, a re-adaptation, is kind of how I want to see the film. It’s not a remake of the TV show or the original miniseries, but it’s a re-adaptation of Stephen King’s book.
I think it’s almost 1200 pages, but I used the book because what was in the script is not much at all about who this character is. I read the book and I took a lot of notes on anything that describes Pennywise in any way, or describes ‘It’ in any way, so and there’s a lot of like great chapters, where It, like the entity, is the narrator. You hear his thoughts and what he thinks and all these things, and so there was this huge source material to go from, like, ‘Oh, what is this saying, why is he here, what does he think like, what does he like, what doesn’t he like?’ — I could use all of those things to come up with my own interpretation and my own version of what It is, and then also what Pennywise is in terms of his embodiment.” – Bill Skarsgård
