bryant explained that she wished for pennywise to have an organic element about himself, with herself paying attention to king's description of pennywise as being in a silvery gray. for pennywise, bryant's manufacturer built 17 different clown costumes to accommodate the action in the film. muschietti spoke of the fact that the entity of pennywise has been around for thousands of years, thus from an aesthetic standpoint wished to depart from the 20th century clown framework, in which he stated "i think it looks cheap, and it's too related to social events and stuff and circus and stuff. circus is fine, but i’m more aesthetically attracted to the old time, like the 19th century clown. and given that this guy has been around for centuries, i wondered myself why, why not, having an upgrade that was 1800s?"
