Finn Wolfhard New Movie Success: "It" Remake
The year 2017 was a huge year for an up and coming young actor, Finn Wolfhard. Stephen King's classic novel "It" has been remade into a movie and, at the tender young age of 14, Finn Wolfhard brings to life the character of Richie Tozier, who is hunted by Pennywise the clown. Finn Wolfhard is so young, he can't even see the horror movie "It," but knows he has done justice to Richie Tozier, a character that is the opposite of Mike Wheeler - asthmatic and scared. A little-known fact is that Finn Wolfhard had to audition for the role in "It" TWICE, since the director attached to the film, Cary Fukunaga, left the project and he had to read again for Richie Tozier for the new director Andy Muschietti. Finn Wolfhard is now part of another classic franchise and "It" is recorded as being the most successful horror movie of all time, grossing over $400 million worldwide.
"I mean, really, really crazy [laughs]. I could have never imagined that it would’ve been that successful, but I’m super proud of it."
