Lionsgate’s The Crow starring Bill Skarsgård (IT) is now available to buy and to rent on participating digital platforms at home, and we’ve been provided with an exclusive clip from the bonus features package this week. In the clip, the filmmaking team details the work that went into the title character’s look, particularly spotlighting the coat that Eric wears in the film.
“The Crow coat is a very iconic piece of wardrobe,” director Rupert Sanders explains in the bonus features clip you’ll find below. “I really wanted this coat to signify something emotional so it wasn’t just like a suit of armor that he built. That’s not the vibe of our story.”
Based on the iconic graphic novel, The Crow tells the dark love story of Eric and Shelly, and the lengths one will go to for someone they love. Directed by Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman, Ghost in the Shell), The Crow stars Bill Skarsgård, FKA twigs (award-winning singer-songwriter), and Danny Huston (The Constant Gardener).
“Soulmates Eric (Skarsgård) and Shelly (FKA Twigs) are brutally murdered when the demons of her dark past catch up with them. Given the chance to save his true love by sacrificing himself, Eric sets out to seek merciless revenge on their killers, traversing the worlds of the living and the dead to put the wrong things right.”

Zach Baylin (King Richard) and Will Schneider wrote the script, with the new movie of course based on James O’Barr’s original graphic novel that spawned a previous film franchise.
In the 1994 movie starring the late Brandon Lee, Eric Draven’s fiancée is killed alongside Draven, setting the film’s revenge storyline into motion. It spawned a handful of sequels.
