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 August 23rd.
A new clip and poster were unviled at San Diego Comic Con. Check them
out below.
The official synopsis reads:
