A Fresh Take On A Classic Story
Hey there, movie buffs! Hold on to your popcorn! Rupert Sanders, the talented director behind Snow White and the Huntsman, is bringing a fresh adaptation of the well-loved comic series, The Crow, to the big screens. Before you jump to conclusions, no, this is not a remake. Instead, it’s an entirely new spin on the original content.
Aligning the Super Team
Creating this adaptation wasn’t a solo feat. It’s a combined effort from a dynamic team. Rupert Sanders directed and Zach Baylin, an Oscar nominee for King Richard, crafted the screenplay. Producers Victor Hadida, Molly Hassell, John Jencks, and Edward R. Pressman, together with executive producer Dan Farah chipped in hard work to bring the project to life!
An Enviable Line-Up of Characters
This adaptation presents a heartbreaking story of love and revenge. It revolves around soulmates Eric and Shelly, whose blissful world is shattered due to unfortunate events. The role of Eric is brilliantly taken by Bill Skarsgard, whom you might remember from the horror movie IT! Pop singer FKA twigs brings life to Shelly. The story doesn’t end with Eric’s death – instead, it marks the start of his quest for revenge and to save his beloved.
Joining the leads is an impressive array of talent including Danny Huston as the antagonist. Actors David Bowles, Isabella Wei, Laura Birn, Sami Bouajila, and Jordan Bolger, also add their exceptional acting prowess to the story.
The Perilous Journey of ‘The Crow’
‘The Crow,’ penned by James O’Barr, first graced the big screen in 1994. Since then, it’s inspired three sequels, each boasting a unique character brought back from the dead. The new adaptation was first announced way back in 2008 but had faced a multitude of obstacles. Twists, turns, array of screenwriters going in and out, scripts being made and scrapped, bankruptcy – you name it. Numerous high-profile directors and actors were even considered for the lead role through the tumultuous journey.
