As it’s been 30 years since Alex Proyas’ The Crow was released, a remake was inevitable. From Rupert Sanders (Ghost in the Shell), this version of The Crow has Bill Skarsgard (John Wick 4) taking on the role of Eric Draven, who is brought back to life when he and his girlfriend Shelley (FKA Twigs, The King’s Man) are brutally murdered. Aided by a Crow, Eric searches for vengeance and it looks like Danny Houston (30 Days of Night) may be Draven’s main target. The look of the film seems to be a mix of DMC: Devil May Cry with some John Wick classic shooting action sequences. That’s not entirely a bad thing. It’s a new story for a new generation. The writers on board here are Zach Baylin (Gran Turismo) and William Schneider, who has the upcoming Return to Silent Hill.
The Crow releases in theatres this Summer.
Oooh, he’s no Brandon Lee.

Agreed, I don’t have much hope for it, either. Still, if Dune could be successfully remade, who knows? Anything’s up for grabs.

Hollywood keeps churning out remake after remake after remake ad nauseam – and those are the movies being heavily pushed. There are exceptions (such as the recent Oscar winner, Oppenheimer) but few and far between are scripts that are genuinely unique. So boring.
