What with all of us looking out for that next big, bright photo of Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise, we forget that a good portion of IT centers on a rather large cast of kids who're known as The Loser's Club. Despite the fact they're sticky children we will have to sympathize with them, and before we do that we should meet them. Without further ado, here they are, courtesy of Barbara Muschietti’s (sister of director Andy Muschietti and producer of IT) Instagram account.
Finn Wolfhard (STRANGER THINGS) as Richie Tozier
Sophie Lillis as Beverly Marsh
Wyatt Oleff as Stanley Uris
Jeremy Ray Taylor as Ben Hanscomb
Jack Dylan Grazer as Eddie Kaspbrak
Chosen Jacobs as Mike Hanlon
Jaeden Lieberher as Bill Denbrough
As you can see the whole cast is here, except for Lieberher. His silouette is there, I guess. Anyway, these look like a good bunch of kids who will get the shit scared out of them by the demented clown. Of course the one we may be the most familiar with is Wolfhard who, with the rest of the STRANGER THINGS cast, became unexpected celebrites who easily could've made a list of people who ruled 2016. He will be a part of the group of youngn's as they ride their bikes around town like a bunch of hoodlums.
It's getting to be about that time when I need to start seeing some footage from this movie if I'm going to stay invested. I don't need a big thing that gives away all the goods, but at least something that gives me a feel of where Muschietti and his team are headed with this. Some audio of Skarsgard as Pennywise would be nice too. Hell, even a teaser poster! I've never been this anxious for footage of a killer clown before. Oh god…I think I'm dying.
IT is set for September 8.
