‘The Crow’ Trailer Brings Us The First Look at a Divisive Remake
After waiting for over a decade, we’re finally getting a sneak peek at The Crow remake. This film has taken a long journey to get here, stuck in development for 15 years, but now Bill Skarsgård is stepping into the shoes of the iconic character once played by Brandon Lee. The trailer has just dropped, and it promises a gritty, intense ride.
Bill Skarsgård stars as Eric Draven, a musician brought back from the dead to avenge his and his fiancée’s murders. His fiancée, Shelly, is played by FKA Twigs, and together their story is about to unfold in a visually striking way. The trailer teases us with the action and dark revenge story we’ve been craving.
This version of The Crow is a fresh take on James O’Barr’s graphic novel, bringing new elements while keeping the core revenge theme intact. Directed by Rupert Sanders and penned by Zach Baylin and Will Schneider, the film is shaping up to be a powerful reimagining of the classic story. With filming locations in Prague and Penzing, the movie’s backdrop is as intriguing as its plot.
The cast includes not just Skarsgård and Twigs but also Isabella Wei, Danny Huston, Laura Birn, Sami Bouajila, and Jordan Bolger, each bringing something unique to the table. The production journey of this film has been a rollercoaster, with various directors and stars attached at different times, including names like Bradley Cooper and Jason Momoa. However, it’s Skarsgård who will bring Eric Draven to life once again.
The release date is set for June 7, 2024, and it can’t come soon enough. Lionsgate is bringing this supernatural superhero film to theaters, promising a mix of emotion, action, and dark romance. Sanders aims to honor the legacy of the original while making his mark with this ‘dark romance.’
For us, this movie isn’t just another superhero film; it’s a story of love, loss, and vengeance. It’s about Eric Draven’s quest for justice, and with the talented cast and crew behind it, we’re in for an unforgettable experience. The countdown to June 2024 is on, and we can’t wait to see how this remake honors and expands upon the legacy of The Crow.
