Throughout the course of watching It Chapter Two, I found myself absolutely fixated on the appearance of young Richie, on the unsolvable equation of his digitally smoothed face. Surely, the filmmakers didn’t assume my suspension of disbelief would apply to a giant, naked woman running through an apartment after Jessica Chastain but stop at my ability to accept a slightly older-looking Finn Wolfhard as Richie Tozier? No, no. Did they? Surely, they didn’t run a computer paintbrush over the face of a 15-year-old boy to make him younger for a movie that features a dancing alien clown. When I first saw the trailer for It Chapter Two, which provided the briefest glimpse of Finn in a flashback scene, I thought … They didn’t. But don’t fret! Skarsgård’s eater of worlds might have been the most frightening part of It shoots, but the final cut of Chapter Two contains a specter that’s much more discomfiting: Finn Wolfhard’s digitally de-aged face. It’s a shame, then, that so much of the clown’s performance onscreen is hidden behind a blanket of CGI. When asked about the most disturbing part of filming It Chapter Two, the adult actors of the Losers Club pretty much settled on one answer: seeing Bill Skarsgård go full Pennywise IRL.
