I saw the same pic a few hours ago and was at first like 'what? that's weird. looks too human.'
But the more I think about it, and the suit design, it makes sense: IT is an alien, replicating the impression of a clown. His suit is ancient, which reinforcees the idea of how long he has been stalking the earth. His hair is more naturalistic than a clown wig. He is the embodiment of a living clown.

Play with monkeys, put bananas in hidden places
Exactly, a human clown named Bob Hray, personally I think this makes Pennywise more disturbing. Almost like an "uncanny valley" type of thing
shareYeah that's a good analog.
"When it is close to, but not quite, human, people develop a sense of unease and discomfort. If human-likeness increased beyond this point, and it became very close to human, the emotional response returned to being positive."
"...the eeriest combinations are those where happy faces were paired with fearful or angry eyes, possibly suggesting the agent was trying to suppress an unpleasant emotion."
Noe that I think about it, maybe that was King's intention. Cause if I remember correctly Pennywise's mouth is described as "a scream turned upside down"
shareAnyone else think it looks like Jack Nicholson's hair?
shareIn the novel I thought King described Pennywises hair as Devil like horns. Like it's stuck up or something. I like the new hair. Looks crazy and devilish like horns.
shareThe only thing I can't really get behind with the new Pennywise look is the big bottom lip and buck teeth. I don't know what's going on there, but who knows what you can really tell from a doctored promo photo.
