James O'Barr's cult graphic novel The Crow gets a new
screen adaptation following its 1994 version, which was overshadowed by the
tragic on-set death of actor Brandon Lee. This one is directed
by Rupert Sanders (Ghost in the Shell) from a screenplay by Zach Baylin and William Schneider.
Bill Skarsgård steps into the title role of the mascara-clad
undead vigilante who returns from the grave to avenge the murders of
himself and his lover (FKA twigs).
The film also stars Isabella Wei, Danny Huston, Laura Birn, Sami Bouajila and Jordan Bolger.
The Crow is in UK/ROI cinemas from June 7th.
Check out the trailer and poster below.
The official synopsis reads:
Soulmates Eric Draven (Bill Skarsgård) and Shelly Webster (FKA twigs) are brutally murdered when the demons of her dark past catch up with them. Given the chance to save his true love by sacrificing himself, Eric sets out to seek merciless revenge on their killers, traversing the worlds of the living and the dead to put the wrong things right.
