Stephen King's 'It' Adaptation Finds Its Pennywise the Clown (Exclusive) Bill Skarsgard, Pennywise the Clown Skarsgard: Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images. 'Mama' helmer Andy Muschietti is directing the New Line horror movie. Bill Skarsgard has the It factor. The actor, who is one of the stars of Hemlock Grove, has nabbed the role of Stephen Kingâs iconic villain Pennywise the Clown in New Lineâs adaptation of the authorâs landmark novel It.
The project originally came together under the direction of Cary Fukunaga, who left over creative differences; at the time, Will Poulter (Weâre the Millers, The Revenant) was to have played Pennywise. The search for a new director pushed the movie by a year and Poulter was no longer available.
