Here's a new image featuring actor Bill Skarsgård in the role of the monstrous Pennywise the Clown in the big screen adaptation of Stephen King's It. This is our first full body look at the character, and he looks dark and sinister. Just imagine that thing popping up in a storm drain and asking you if you want a balloon.

The costume design comes from costume designer Janie Bryant (Deadwood, Mad Men) who talked to EW about the design of the outfit saying:

“The costume definitely incorporates all these otherworldly past lives, if you will. He is definitely a clown from a different time.“That pleating is actually Fortuny pleating, which gives it almost a crepe-like effect. It’s a different technique than what the Elizabethans would do. It’s more organic, it’s more sheer.
