![]() (For those who don't know, Richie loved rock as a kid, but this is not mentioned in the movie) and is arguably more terrifying. And the flyer Richie gets is really good - it replaces Tozier's All-Dead Rock Show, which has no set-up in the movies, into something that works without the context. Richie's scene in the park is amazing - the statue is genuinely terrifying, Pennywise is just amazing and it works really well both for the 1989 part and the 2016 part. This movie knows how to adapt the book well, but it doesn't always do it. But it doesn't feel genuine because there is no set-up for it. There is no reference to the clubhouse until Chapter Two, and there is no real reason for it to be in Chapter Two, except to progress the characters. The best example of it is building the Clubhouse. But for part 2 to make sense, we need all this stuff that the kids do. This movie suffers from the poorly adapting the book - the book is ridiculously long and contains just so much stuff that you can't really make it into 4 hours of cinema, but you commercially can't make it into more than 2 movies.It's good but just doesn't scale up to It 1, and in my opinion, there are 2 reasons for it. So, two years later, here are the thoughts of a random guy on this movie, which I only got around to watching now.Īnd my conclusion is that. It got positive reviews from both critics and the general audience, but scores significantly lower than part one of the same series. ![]() And Francis’s inner self revealing itself on the canvas.So, back in ye olde days of 2019, It: Chapter Two came out. Not how we’re physically seen, but how we’re really feeling on the inside. They are paintings conveying an emotional truth. What do you like the most about Francis Bacon’s paintings? Mostly I just listened to our photographer, Tim Richardson. Seems like his portraits are paralyzed in a moving state of despair or maybe truth. ![]() ![]() What kind of mood/feelings did you want to convey by playing a Bacon’s character? And, just so I don’t come off as a complete pretentious buffoon, Hour of the Wolf by Bergman. Polanski’s Repulsion and Rosemary’s Baby. What are your favorite horror movies and why? What was the most difficult part about playing Pennywise in It / It 2?įor me, it was doing justice to Kings iconic character and at the same time, reinventing what Tim Curry already did so well. Numero: When did you start acting? What was your first movie?īill Skarsgård: I did my first role, playing Alex’s little brother, in a movie called järngänget in Sweden. It would have been a lot more difficult for me to take on the role of a real psychopathic human.” Instead, Skarsgård has used his humanity to satisfy the demands of photographer Tim Richardson for Numéro art, who skilfully blends real shots and digitally produced images in his Bacon-inspired series. “ He’s not human, which made playing him easier in a certain way. To play the role of the killer clown Pennywise in the new adaptation of Stephen King’s novel (which follows on the heels of two cult telefilms made in the 90s), Skarsgård had to get his head around a rather abstract character. Nothing can therefore frighten him in a movie business from which he deliberately takes a step back. One of eight children (of whom four others are actors) born to Swedish star Stellan Skarsgård (who has worked with Lars Von Trier, starred in the Avengers saga and will feature in Denis Villeneuve’s forthcoming Dune), Skarsgård started out young, at just nine years old. Skarsgård consequently seemed a natural choice to reinterpret Francis Bacon’s tormented figures in our homage to the late British artist’s work: the Swede’s chiselled features and ice-blue eyes, not to mention his ability to convey hidden emotions with the utmost economy of means, make him an ideal candidate for the exercise. Yet he remains sanguine about his career choices, joking in an interview that “there was something rather strange in saying to myself that my acting would be judged on my ability to traumatize children both on set and in movie theatres.” He first became known internationally for his role as a vampire in the Netflix series Hemlock Grove, but it was in his portrayal of the child-killing clown Pennywise in the movies It (2017) and It Chapter Two (out this September) that he took Hollywood by storm. At any rate the 29-year-old Swedish actor seems to like taking on rather perverse parts.
