Bill Skarsgård and FKA twigs to Star in 'The Crow' Reboot
The ‘It’ star will play Eric Draven, who was previously portrayed by the late Brandon Lee.
Bill Skarsgård and FKA twigs have been cast in the reboot of The Crow.
According to reports, the reimagining will be based on the original graphic novel from James O’Barr and will see Skarsgård play Eric Draven. The film will be helmed by Rupert Sanders, written by Zach Baylin and produced by Victor Hadida, Molly Hassell, John Jencks and Edward R. Pressman.
“The Crow is beautiful, dark, poetic and sometimes disturbing,” Sanders said in a statement. “It is a story of love, loss, grief and revenge. It is a great honor to revisit James O’Barr’s iconic comic and reimagine The Crow as a foreboding voice of today.”
The Crow was brought to the big screen by Alex Proyas in 1994 and starred the late Brandon Lee as Draven — his final film appearance. The movie went on to gross $93.7 million USD with a budget of $23 million USD, and is considered to be a cult classic.
Stay tuned for more info on the reboot.
Elsewhere in entertainment, The Walking Dead has officially wrapped filming.
