First Glimpse of THE CROW Remake Teases a Killer Movie

Feb 29, 2024 11:15 AM

Lionsgate has unveiled a sneak peek at the anticipated "The Crow" remake starring Bill Skarsgård, inspired by James O'Barr's comic book series. The released images present Skarsgård in the titular role, and features artist FKA twigs as Shelly Webster. Directed by Rupert Sanders, the adaptation seeks to resonate with a modern audience while embracing '90s underground vibes, drawing influence from contemporaries like Post Malone and Lil Peep. Despite skepticism from fans of the original film due to the tragic legacy of Brandon Lee's performance, the remake aims to chart its own path. Audiences can judge for themselves when "The Crow" hits theaters on June 7, 2024.

What are the release date and cast details for The Crow remake?

The Crow remake, featuring Bill Skarsgård in the lead role and FKA twigs as Shelly Webster, is set to be released on June 7, 2024.

The original "The Crow," released in 1994 and directed by Alex Proyas, is a dark fantasy film that became a cult classic due in part to the tragic on-set accident that led to the death of its star, Brandon Lee. The film's production was marred by this event, but it ultimately achieved great success and spawned several sequels and a television series. The forthcoming remake with Bill Skarsgård aims to revive the story for a new generation while paying homage to the gritty aesthetic of the '90s original.
