We’re just one month away from the release of Lionsgate’s The Crow in theaters, a fresh new take on the iconic tale with Bill Skarsgård (IT) taking over the titular role.
The Crow brings the franchise back to theaters on August 23. While you wait, Lionsgate has released a clip this week that shows just how indestructible Eric Draven really is.
The new movie is rated “R” for…
“Strong bloody violence, gore, language, sexuality/nudity, and drug use.”
From director Rupert Sanders, Skarsgård leads the cast of The Crow, with FKA Twigs co-starring in the reboot. Danny Huston (30 Days of Night) also stars, alongside Laura Birn (Foundation), Sami Bouajila (A Son), and Jordan Bolger (The Woman King).
In the new movie, “Soulmates Eric Draven (Skarsgård) and Shelly Webster (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.
