The Crow reboot has been in the works for years and years, and now a new star and director have attached themselves to the project.
According to
The Hollywood Reporter, Bill Skarsgard, who you might know as Pennywise from the It reboot, will star in a new take on The Crow from director Rupert Sanders. Sanders has helmed various action films like Snow White and the Huntsman and Ghost in the Shell.
The journey to get The Crow back on the big screen has been a long one. The first Crow movie, based on a comic book by James O’Barr, was released in 1994. But an on-set accident led to the death of star Brandon Lee.
A sequel was released in 1996, along with two direct-to-DVDs sequels in 200 and 2005. But a proper film reboot hasn’t materialized since the 1990s.
Blade director Stephen Norrington was attached to a reboot before departing. Corin Hardy was tapped as director for the reboot in 2017 with Jason Momoa set to star, but this version too failed to materialize after
both left the project.
Skarsgard and Sanders are the latest to tackle the reboot, and perhaps this time it will stick. After all, the Uncharted movie went through countless directors and stars before finally settling on Tom Holland and director Ruben Fleischer who
successfully brought Nathan Drake to the big screen in 2022.
The Crow is a supernatural superhero who was resurrected after his death to take vengeance on criminals.
Love Skargard! He killed it in Roles like Pennywise, in Castle Rock among other projects I have no doubt that he'll knock this outta the Park. I haven't seen the original Crow in ages might by time to watch it this Week.
