It Cast: The Losers Club is Back in Action and Better Than Ever!

The ensemble cast of It includes the Swedish actor Bill Skarsgård as Pennywise and Jaeden Lieberher as Bill Denbrough, the leader of The Losers Club. The supporting cast members are Jeremy Ray Taylor as Ben Hanscom, Sophia Lillis as Beverly Marsh (the only female member of the group), and Finn Wolfhard as Richie Tozier, Bill’s bespectacled and foul-mouthed best friend. The 1,138 page book has been brilliantly translated into a nerve-racking thriller, which is sure to keep viewers glued to their seats. Describing the character of Pennywise in an interview, It director Muschietti stated, “It’s established that Pennywise takes the shape of your worst fear. He doesn’t have a steady behavior, he doesn’t expose how he thinks, and that’s what makes him really unpredictable.”

It Plot and Release Date: A Spine-Chilling Supernatural Thriller for Some Sleepless Nights!

The development of It began in 2009 but the original director, Cary Fukunaga and The Revenant star, Will Poulter (who was originally cast as Pennywise) dropped out of the project. After going back and forth since 2012, filming was picked up again last year and is currently slated for release on September 8, 2017. The plot of It centers around a quaint town named Derry in Maine, where an ancient evil force awakens and terrorizes children every three decades. A group of children nicknamed ‘The Losers Club’ decide to fight against the centuries-old evil clown named Pennywise, who disguises himself to hunt his prey. Bill Skarsgård, who plays Pennywise, described his character saying, “It’s such an extreme character. Inhumane, It’s beyond even a sociopath, because he’s not even human. He’s not even a clown. I’m playing just one of the beings It creates. It truly enjoys the shape of the clown Pennywise, and enjoys the game and the hunt.”

It’s trailer is haunting and ominous as it showcases the fictional backdrop of Derry, Maine, having an uncommonly high mortality rate, where things spiral after the shocking death of a small boy named Georgie. While viewers are privy to brief glimpses of Pennywise, there are several spine-chilling scenes to ensure that Stephen King fans will be swarming theaters come September. A floating red balloon in a library, children’s hands desperately grasping the exit door of a burning building, and black ooze exploding in a bathroom are just some of the blood-curdling scenes to look forward to in It. Die-hard fans of horror are in for a real treat, because It is sure to have some gory moments and scary jolts to keep audiences on the edge of their seats!

It Release Date: September 8, 2017.
