After Years of Development, ‘The Crow’ Reboot Takes Flight

The journey of “The Crow” reboot, a project mired in development for over a decade, is finally nearing its culmination. Lionsgate has recently secured the domestic rights to this much-anticipated film, setting a 2024 release date. The reboot of the 1994 cult classic, originally directed by Alex Proyas, is now in the hands of director Rupert Sanders, known for his work on “Snow White and the Huntsman.”
The film stars Bill Skarsgård, stepping into the formidable shoes of the original film’s star, Brandon Lee. Skarsgård, celebrated for his diverse roles ranging from the terrifying Pennywise in the “It” movies to his recent appearance in “John Wick: Chapter 4,” plays the character of Eric Draven. The reboot also features British singer-songwriter FKA Twigs as Shelley, Draven’s fiancée, signaling a potential expansion of her role compared to the original. Danny Huston and Isabella Wei round out the cast in yet-to-be-disclosed roles.

The original “The Crow,” released in 1994, was not just a film but a cultural phenomenon, intertwining dark fantasy with a poignant tale of love and revenge. Its lead, Brandon Lee, tragically died during filming, adding a layer of somber legend to the film. The reboot aims to honor this legacy while providing a modern interpretation of James O’Barr’s graphic novel.
The reboot’s path to production was fraught with challenges. Initially announced in 2008 with Stephen Norrington at the helm, the project saw a revolving door of directors and writers, including Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, F. Javier Gutiérrez, and Corin Hardy. The script underwent several revisions by writers like Alex Tse and Cliff Dorfman, with legal battles and financial issues causing further delays. Eventually, in 2022, Zach Baylin was brought in to pen the script, and Rupert Sanders was confirmed as director.

The reboot’s principal photography commenced in July 2022 in Prague, with significant scenes shot at the city’s Rudolfinum concert hall. The production wrapped in October 2022 after completing virtual production stages in Germany. The $50 million budget project was brought to life by producers Molly Hassell, Victor Hadida, John Jencks, Malcolm Gray, and Edward R. Pressman.
As “The Crow” reboot approaches its 2024 release, it marks a significant moment in the revival of a cult classic. With a new cast and creative team, this adaptation seeks to reinterpret a familiar story for a contemporary audience. While it remains to be seen how this version will compare to the original, the upcoming film certainly adds a new chapter to the legacy of “The Crow,” inviting both old fans and new viewers to witness its latest incarnation.
There is no trailer at this time, but we will update as soon as one becomes available. For now here’s a look at the classic 1994 trailer.

Shudder Promises: “Goopy practical effects…and LOTS of blood” in Upcoming Movie

Shudder has been hitting out of the park with new horror releases lately. Now comes word that they will release the horror/comedy Destroy All Neighbors on their streaming platform starting January 12. The movie is helmed by music video director Josh Forbes. It stars Jonah Ray Rodrigues (Mystery Science Theater 3000), and Alex Winter, Ted, of Bill & Ted Fame.

There is no trailer for the movie yet, but Shudder explains that Rodrigues plays William, “a neurotic, self-absorbed musician determined to finish his prog-rock magnum opus, faces a creative roadblock in the form of a noisy and grotesque neighbor named Vlad (Alex Winter). Finally working up the nerve to demand that Vlad keep it down, William inadvertently decapitates him. But, while attempting to cover up one murder, William’s accidental reign of terror causes victims to pile up and become undead corpses who torment and create more bloody detours on his road to prog-rock Valhalla. Destroy All Neighbors is a twisted splatter-comedy about a deranged journey of self-discovery full of goopy practical FX, a well-known ensemble cast, and LOTS of blood.”
Destroy All Neighbors will premiere on Shudder on January 12.

Arkane Studios and Marvel Reveal Rad Trailer for Blade

One of the biggest and most exciting moments from last night’s Game Awards was the unveiling of Arcane’s latest game, Blade! That’s right, y’all. Marvel is getting together with Arkane Studios in order to tell the tale of the Daywalker.

Arkane has been responsible for some of our favorite games over the last few years. They are responsible for Deathloop and Dishonored just to name a couple. So, the idea of a Blade game is very exciting. Mainly because we have seen what Arkane does with their special powers and perks in game. So, we already can’t wait to see the powers they unleash with Blade.
Not much is known at the moment other than the game will be a third-person experience that takes place in Paris.
The synopsis for Blade goes like this:
In Marvel’s Blade, Eric Brooks is the legendary Daywalker, half-man, half-vampire torn between the warm society of the living and the rushing power of the undead. From Bethesda and Arkane Lyon, the studio that brought you Dishonored and “DEATHLOOP”, Marvel’s Blade is a mature, single-player, third-person game set in the heart of Paris, now in development in collaboration with Marvel Games.
We are already dying to see what Arkane and Bethesda does with Blade. It will undoubtedly be a huge and memorable experience. Marvel has been doing a great job of carefully brining their games to life. If you haven’t played Guardians of the Galaxy, please do. It is a singular experience that goes beyond the game films and gives us an all-new experience in the Guardians tales. We are sure that Arkane will give us another amazing Marvel chapter when Blade is released.
There isn’t any word on when Blade is going to be released. But, we will be sure to keep you updated as soon as we hear more.
