Earlier this month, it was reported that Bill Skarsgard (Hemlock Grove, Allegiant) was in “final negotiations” for the role of Pennywise in director Andres Muschietti's forthcoming re-adaptation of Stephen King's It. Revealed in that same report were the young actors who had been chosen to play the film's pre-teen “Losers Club,” the group that Pennywise (a.k.a. “It”) terrorizes from childhood into adulthood.
Now, The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Owen Teague (Bloodline) has joined the cast as Patrick Hockstetter, a key member of the teenage gang of bullies that torments the Losers' Club during the summer of 1958.
