(MENAFN- Alizee co.) The trailer for Rupert Sanders' much-awaited “The Crow” remake, starring Bill Skarsgård and FKA Twigs, was recently released by Lionsgate. Released on June 7, the film promises a visceral and dark experience that combines romance and retribution.
James O'Barr's graphic novel served as inspiration for both the 1994 original film, which starred the late Brandon Lee, and the upcoming remake. Bill Skarsgård plays Eric Draven in Sanders' adaptation. He and his girlfriend Shelly (FKA Twigs) suffer a tragic end. Stuck between life and death, Eric sets out to exact revenge on those who killed them.
Sanders explores themes of grief, loss, and the phantom curtain that divides life from death. His goal is to craft a dark romance that appeals to viewers. In the first "Crow" movie, helmed by Alex Proyas, Brandon Lee played Eric Draven. Sadly, Lee passed away on set at the age of 28 after being unintentionally shot by a prop gun during production. Despite the shadow cast by his premature death, the film was eventually finished and released by Miramax.
Sanders recognises the significance of Brandon Lee's contribution to the original "Crow" and the weight of his legacy. He feels that Bill Skarsgård, who is well-known for playing Pennywise in the horror film series "It," is a deserving replacement. Paying tribute to Lee's legendary portrayal, Skarsgård's interpretation of the Crow is delicate and beautiful.
The thrilling mashup of action, retaliation, and supernatural elements in the "The Crow" remake is promised. The release is much anticipated by fans, who hope it will pay tribute to the late Brandon Lee and offer a new perspective on this eerie story.
