Rupert Sanders Releases New Version of The Crow

After nearly two decades of failed attempts, Rupert Sanders' reimagining of 'The Crow' finally hits theaters this week, featuring Bill Skarsgård as Eric and FKA Twigs as Shelly. The story, rooted in James O'Barr's original comic, revolves around the tragic lovers who are murdered, prompting Eric's resurrection to seek vengeance for Shelly's death. Sanders describes the film as a 'down-and-dirty indie movie' that dives deeper into the relationship between the characters than the 1994 cult classic. Despite previous setbacks, he approaches the project with tenacity, believing that exposure to this fresh adaptation will resonate with both new and old fans. Critics have noted that the film's brutal violence is balanced by a more romantic narrative, potentially surprising audiences who may have preconceived notions. As the film opens, it aims to engage viewers with its unique take on a well-known story.
