Here's Bill Skarsgård's thoughts on playing Pennywise:

It's important that we do something fresh and original for this one. It's purposely not going toward that weird, greasy look.

Tim Curry's performance was truly great, but it's important for me to do something different because of that. I'll never be able to make a Tim Curry performance as good as Tim Curry.

It truly enjoys the shape of the clown Pennywise, and enjoys the game and the hunt. What's funny to this evil entity might not be funny to everyone else. But he thinks it's funny.
