First Photos of Pennywise on ‘IT: Chapter Two’ Set Tease Recreation of Paul Bunyan Scene from Novel
We’ve seen a handful of photos from the set of IT: Chapter Two these last several weeks, but we got our first look at the return of Pennywise over the long weekend. A handful of photos from the Ontario, Canada set show Pennywise (either Bill Skarsgård or a stunt double) perched atop Derry, Maine’s Paul Bunyan statue, which is nothing if not an interesting sight.
Fans of Stephen King’s novel will recall that Pennywise had taken the form of the Paul Bunyan statue to terrorize Richie, so this *could* be the filming of that scene from the book…
