![]() We talked a lot about there's this kind of urge that maybe Pennywise really, really wants to be defeated finally and forever. Does Pennywise change at all? He's suffered a defeat for the first time in the first film is this entity different the second time around, having been beaten?īill Skarsgård: What we addressed going into the second one was like, "All right, what is different with Pennywise and how is he different in this new movie?" And of course, we talked about it a lot, where it's like he was defeated for the first time ever and he's come back for revenge. Moderator: We've had a lot of talk about how the Losers have changed as 27 years have gone by, how they've evolved and grown as people, or regressed as people. It was very experimental in a way, but only because we wanted to reach something that can't really be planned, because like I said, unpredictable is unpredictable. I will edit the scene with different bits from different takes and it will be awesome. And I basically gave Bill the okay to do different takes, different performances. Even before shooting, we were talking about how the edit of this thing would work on every scene. How could it be scary? Unpredictability probably is the one thing that we elevated as a concept and Bill then worked with it to a point where he really started surprising me because unpredictable is unpredictable. I don't dig inside Bill every day to see what the process is, but we did a lot of talking about It and I think that conceptually, we reached certain criteria for what the character should be. So what are you giving him to get him into that headspace?Īndy Muschietti: We talked for hours about what Pennywise is and Bill as an actor has to find the footing on his experience, has to draw it from somewhere. It's this shape-shifting fear and hate-consuming entity that's not human. Moderator: Andy, what kind of direction did you give Bill to bring the character to life? Because Bill, you're not playing a human being, so you're not playing somebody that you can connect with or relate to. ![]() "They can't see me just walking around with the makeup on. ![]() ![]() I had dreams at times where I was Pennywise walking around Stockholm and I was like, "They can't see me like this." I was upset. I was back in Europe and I would have these very, very strange dreams that were nonsensical. We wrapped and I flew home the next morning and I thought that I didn’t have to think about Pennywise anymore, but I dreamt about him. And then the last scene that we shot was the storm drain scene, which is sort of the most pivotal scene of the first movie in terms of the character. So every project I've ever done, it is a weird kind of thing of waking up the next morning and being like, "I guess I don't have to think about that person anymore." And with Pennywise it was, I don't know, the shoot was three months, but it was probably a good four or five months of just living with this character. And then all of a sudden, the last day of shooting it wraps and then you don't have to think about that character anymore at all. Every day, you're intimate with this other character in your own head. Can you share with people what happened and how long it took Pennywise to leave you, and what it was like to reconnect with this entity on the second film?īill Skarsgård: Yeah, well, filming is always, it's a very strange thing to do as an actor, where you get the part, and you prepare the part, and you live with this character for so long, and then you shoot the thing. Moderator: Bill, we spoke before you shot the backend of the first movie and you told me that when you finished shooting, you were having dreams about Pennywise.
