User blog comment:Dr. Frank N. Furter/A Tale of Two Pennys: A Look at Pennywise the Clown From the 2017 "It" Remake/@comment-24101790-20160726221946

I'm really reserving judgement until we can seeing the actor performing. Tim Curry had a lot of fun moments in the role joking and cracking (Penny-)wise which brought some levity in to build up the horror in-between scenes. I really feel like without that humor, the remake will have some problems (It is a clown-creature after all) that weigh it down. I'm slightly worried they're going to go for a gritty, joyless angle which really seems contradictory to the character.
