The Crow remake has received some harsh criticism from early viewers, with writer Cliff Dorfman calling it “unwatchable” on social media. This reaction comes after the original director, Alex Proyas, voiced concerns about remaking the film and the importance of respecting Brandon Lee’s legacy.
The modern reimagining of The Crow features Bill Skarsgård and FKA Twigs in lead roles, portraying a story of revenge intertwined with love and sacrifice. Despite the negative feedback, the movie is set to hit theaters in August 2024.
Based on the 1989 comic by James O’Barr, The Crow follows the journey of Eric, who is brought back to life by a mysterious crow after witnessing the murder of his fiancée. Seeking vengeance on those responsible, Eric navigates between the realms of the living and the dead to make things right.
Directed by Rupert Sanders and written by Zach Baylin and Will Schneider, The Crow stars Bill Skarsgård as Eric Draven and FKA Twigs as Shelly Webster. The film also features Isabella Wei, Danny Huston, Laura Birn, Sami Bouajila, and Jordan Bolger in supporting roles.
Despite the criticism, The Crow is gearing up for its release later this year, promising a dark and thrilling tale of love, loss, and redemption. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated remake.
