I wonder if his brother ever went to see the movie…
He wanted to take Pennywise and make the role his own, and I think that creepy smile has certainly helped him to do that.
The reboot of the old horror classic didn’t have a lot of involvement from the original novel author – the kind of horror himself Stephen King – but according to the West Australian, King approved:
“Referring to a scene in which one of the young children was terrorised by a woman from an old painting, she told Collider: “Stephen King, the first email he sent to Andy when he had seen the movie, the one fear he wrote back, he said, ‘I f***ing love the woman in the painting, it scared the s**t out of me.’ “”
