Although Pennywise the clown is its most popular form, evil takes on many different appearances in Stephen King's novel IT. It can search your mind for the things that frighten you the most, then shapeshift into those things to confront you with them. In the pages of the novel, It appers to characters in the form of Universal Monsters, a witch, Rodan, a wolf man inspired by I WAS A TEENAGE WEREWOLF, loved ones and enemies, and various other things.

One thing It did not turn into in the novel is a woman named Judith, but MAMA director Andy Muschietti's two-part adaptation of the material seems to have added in such a character.

Stephen King fan site Lilja's Library has learned that Canadian actress Tatum Lee is a member of the IT cast and will be playing Judith, a Pennywise creation that is rumored to be horrifying. That's all the information we have for now, but I'm looking forward to finding out just who/what Judith is and where she'll be showing up in the story.

Stephen King's IT is about

seven children known as The Losers Club who come face to face with life problems, bullies and a monster that takes the shape of a clown called Pennywise. 

Gary Dauberman and Chase Palmer have handled the screenplay adaptation. The film stars, in addition to Lee, Jaeden Lieberher, Finn Wolfhard, Sophia Lillis, Jack Dylan Grazer, Wyatt Oleff, Chosen Jacobs, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Owen Teague, and Nicholas Hamilton, with Bill Skarsgard as Pennywise and Javier Botet as another of the evil's forms, The Leper.

The first part of this two part adaptation is set to be released on September 8, 2017. A sequel depicting The Losers Club's rematch with Pennywise as adults will arrive at a later date.
