Two bits of news for fans of “The Crow.” That super-secret remake that was completed rather quietly finally has a release date, AND, the original 1994 Brandon Lee film is finally coming to 4K.
“The Crow” reboot will star Bill Skarsgård (“It”), FKA twigs (“Honeyboy”), and Danny Huston (“Succession”). Alongside Laura Birn (“Foundation”), Sami Bouajila (“A Son”), and Jordan Bolger (“The Woman King”). The film is direced by Rupert Sanders (“Snow White and the Huntsman”) from a script by Oscar nominee Zach Baylin (“King Richard”) and Will Schneider.
Lionsgate released an official synopsis for the remake: “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.”
“We appreciate what the Crow character and original movie mean to legions of fans and believe this new film will offer audiences an authentic and visceral reinterpretation of its emotional power and mythology,” Lionsgate’s EVP Acquisitions and Co-Productions, Charlotte Koh said. “To work with a creative team led by Rupert’s unparalleled visual style and storytelling and with a producing team who have made some of the most popular and impactful films of the last several decades is a true privilege.”
The film is currently slated for a June 7th, 2024 release. So, chances are we’ll be getting a trailer or something pretty soon.
