There’s finally a new version of The Crow. Over a decade has passed since Hollywood attempted to mount a new adaptation of James O’Barr’s comic book series, with everyone from Bradley Cooper to Jason Momoa being considered for the lead role at some point. The current version stars Bill Skarsgård, who is used to wearing scary makeup, having played Pennywise in both It films.
A cult version of The Crow hit theaters in 1994 and saw a tragic event – star Brandon Lee was accidentally killed by a prop gun during filming. Snow White and the Huntsman and Ghost in the Shell filmmaker Rupert Sanders is the one bringing the 2024 version to life, complete with his trademark visual flourishes.
