Get ready to be on the edge of your seat as Bill Skarsgård, the iconic actor from IT, prepares to grace the big screen once again in Lionsgate's upcoming release, The Crow. Scheduled to premiere on August 23, 2024, this highly anticipated film marks the resurrection of the chilling franchise that has captivated audiences for years.
As the countdown begins, the excitement builds with the recent announcement of The Crow receiving an "R" rating. Brace yourself for a rollercoaster of emotions with intense scenes featuring strong bloody violence, gore, explicit language, sexuality/nudity, and drug use. Directed by the talented Rupert Sanders, the movie stars Skarsgård in the lead role, alongside the mesmerizing FKA Twigs. The ensemble cast also includes Danny Huston, Laura Birn, Sami Bouajila, and Jordan Bolger, promising a riveting cinematic experience.
In this fresh take on the classic tale, audiences will witness the tragic fate of soulmates Eric Draven (portrayed by Skarsgård) and Shelly Webster (brought to life by FKA Twigs) as they are brutally murdered by the shadows of Webster's haunting past. When Eric is presented with a chance to save his true love by sacrificing himself, he embarks on a harrowing journey of vengeance, transcending the boundaries between the living and the dead to right the wrongs that have been done.
The screenplay, skillfully crafted by Zach Baylin and Will Schneider, draws inspiration from James O’Barr’s original graphic novel, which served as the foundation for the previous film adaptations. Behind the scenes, a powerhouse of producers including Molly Hassell, Victor Hadida, John Jencks, and Edward R. Pressman have come together to breathe new life into this haunting narrative.
