With all of the tragedy surrounding the original The Crow movie and Brandon Lee’s tragic on-set death, a nearly three-decade hiatus on developing a remake seems respectful. Well, good news, it’s finally done according to Bloody Disgusting.
They take their info from The Prague Reporter which broke the news on September 16:
“During a lengthy 10-week shoot, The Crow shot across numerous locations in the Old Town and New Town neighborhoods of the Czech capital. One of the major set pieces for The Crow was shot at Prague’s Rudolfinum concert hall, and involved the participation of hundreds of extras in formal attire.”
The article goes on to say that production, with the alias Yellow Flower, was not registered as a feature film:
“According to documentation filed with the city, The Crow was registered as a TV production, with a total of six episodes shot on Prague locations. This information has not been confirmed by those involved with the production, and previous reports identify the project as a feature film.”
Bill Skarsgård is taking the lead in this comic book-inspired adaptation. The 32-year-old is becoming one of horror’s greatest assets. He won praise as Pennywise the clown in both IT movies and is currently starring in the critical hit Barbarian now in theaters.
His next movies, Boy Kills World and John Wick 4 are in post-production.
There are no release details on The Crow, but we can guess it should be available sometime in 2023. In any case, we will keep you posted.
