And if we are grown-ups and in our 30s, 40s, we know already what the end of childhood is. And it’s a universal story, we’ve all been children. “Even as an artist, as a writer, he keeps that child inside that feeds all the imagination that he needs to keep writing. I think it’s still a love letter to childhood, in the sense that he (King) understands very well what the beautiful treasures of childhood are that are needed to stay alive. He explains: “I think IT plays in different levels to modern audiences. The 46-year-old Argentine filmmaker, rumoured to be dating actress Amber Heard, also thinks King’s material is still relatable to a modern audience. I don’t know a kid that actually has clowns up there in the Olympus of heroic characters,” he says. I don’t know that kids were ever fans of clowns. My experience with clowns was cheap circus clowns and kids’ party clowns. “I wasn’t a big fan of clowns growing up. The film centres around the Losers’ Club, the group of seven kids now grown up, who are beckoned back to their rural hometown of Derry after a 27-year absence to fight off Pennywise the Dancing Clown (played by Bill Skarsgard).ĭirector Andres ‘Andy’ Muschietti, who also helmed 2017’s IT, the first instalment, is clear on his feelings about clowns. It’s a testament to brilliant casting but also a well-presented dual storyline in the film which sees the adult cast revisiting their younger selves to delve in the past. It seems like the type of statistic his IT character, Bill, would cite too. I think phobia has been confused with dislike.” He reels off a statistic he says journalists on his press rounds for the film have lobbied at him, stating that in every one in 10 people suffer from coulrophobia. I would say I don’t care for them necessarily.”
“I wouldn’t say I’m phobic,” he muses carefully.
