Filming of Stephen King's It 2 is currently undergoing in Toronto, Canada and Bill Skarsgard's is back as Pennywise the Dancing Clown. The actor previously amazed everyone when he was shown spreading the terror in Maine, and now he is taking a scene from Stephen King's mammoth novel and bringing it onto the big screen. The latest pictures from the It: Chapter Two movie set shows the ongoing production of the film and how Bill is trying hard to recreate the iconic scene.
In the released set photo from the sequel of It movie, Bill Skarsgard is dressed as Pennywise and can be seen sitting on the shoulder of a Paul Bunyan statue. Fans of the film may remember the statue from the first part and as per the book, Pennywise will reportedly take over the body of the statue to terrorize the young version of Richie Tozier. As of now, it is not clear if the movie's director Andes Muschietti will directly be inspired from the book or will change the scene as per the script's demand. But whatever the case is, the pictures show Bill's dedication towards his character nonetheless.
Paul Bunyan's statue from the Stephen King's book is reportedly the largest statue of Bunyan in the world. As per the reports, the statue is 31-feet tall and was donated in 1959 by New York-based builders Messmore & Damon.
