The first trailer for the upcoming reboot of The Crow has been released – watch the FKA Twigs– and Bill Skarsgard-starring trailer below.
The trailer starts with Skarsgard and Twigs going through their relationship, before they are both unceremoniously killed. Skarsgård is then resurrected and goes on a gory and brutal, vengeful rampage against those who wronged him.
Skarsgard plays Eric Draven, while FKA Twigs plays his girlfriend Shelly. The original 1994 film starred Brandon Lee – son of Bruce Lee – who lost his life through a tragic on-set accident during production.
The upcoming remake is directed by Rupert Sanders (Snow White And The Huntsman, Ghost In The Shell), who told Vanity Fair that he considers the film a tribute to Lee’s memory, despite it being an entirely new take on the 1994 horror-revenge love story. The original movie was based on the 1989 comic book series of the same name by James O’Barr.
“Brandon was an original voice, and I think he will always be synonymous with The Crow and I hope he’s proud of what we’ve done and how we’ve brought the story back again. His soul is very much alive in this film,” Sanders said, adding that Skarsgård brings a “disturbing beauty” to the role. “There’s a real fragility and beauty to his version of the Crow, and I think Bill feels like he is a successor to that.”
The Crow is currently set to land in cinemas on June 7, 2024.
