Tilda Swinton Was Considered for Pennywise in 'It' Movie!

Here’s something you probably didn’t expect – Tilda Swinton was originally considered to play Pennywise, the evil clown in the movie It!

During a visit to set, a journalist jokingly asked director Andres Muschietti if Tilda was considered for the role and the answer was surprisingly yes.

“She wasn’t available. No, no I swear to god. She was not,” Andres said (via JoBlo). “We had a slot to shoot the movie and she wasn’t available so she didn’t even audition. But of course, we all thought about it.”

The role went to Bill Skarsgard and he totally is terrifying us in the new trailer!
