The Crow trailer: Bill Skarsgård comes back from death in 1994 action film's remake

The makers of The Crow, a remake of the 1994 film of the same name, released its trailer earlier this Thursday. The trailer shows John Wick 4 star Bill Skarsgård as Eric Draven, the person who dies and comes back as a supernatural being to avenge the death of his girlfriend. Alex Proyas' 1994 original is known for its dark and Gothic visual world, reminiscent of films like Ridley Scott's Blade Runner and Tim Burton's Batman. It is also remembered for the breakout performance of the late Brandon Lee, who unfortunately died from a bullet that accidentally came off a prop gun on the set.

Like the 1994 film, its remake is also based on James O’Barr's graphic novel. In the Crow remake, FKA Twigs plays Shelly Webster, the girlfriend of Draven. Following his and his girlfriend's death, Draven comes back in a state that exists between the world of the living and that of the dead to take revenge on those who murdered her. The character is billed as an antihero with supernatural powers, such as the ability to withstand stabbings and gunshots.

Rupert Sanders and Zach Baylin are the film's director and writer, respectively. On the other hand, its producers include Edward R. Pressman, Victor Hadida, Samuel Hadida, Molly Hassell and John Jencks. Lionsgate is distributing the film for its theatrical release on June 07 this year.
