Tucci said of the role, "It" was horrible. "It's a fantastic film, but it was an exhausting one." Simply for the position." After being cast, he continued to say that he had attempted to back out. "I asked [director] Peter Jackson why he cast me in this role," he said. "I tried to get out of the position, which is mad because I wanted to work." But I was like, 'Why do you want me?' 'Because you're funny,' he said.' 'OK,' I thought.' However, I know what he was saying. I think what he meant was that I wouldn't be too worried about it, not that I wouldn't be concerned about it, but that I wouldn't be overly enthusiastic about it. I'd say that I'd toss it away a little. Which is what you have to do when you're playing somebody who's that awful, right?" "You can't play into it," the singer said. You know, it's over. The movie is over, as you might imagine. You only have to play against it."
