Lionsgate Unveils New Poster for The Crow Reimagining Starring Bill Skarsgård

Well, folks, if y’all been waitin’ for somethin’ new comin’ to the big screen, here’s a little somethin’ for ya. Lionsgate’s been workin’ real hard on bringin’ back that ol’ story of The Crow, and I gotta say, this here new poster sure caught my eye. If y’all don’t know what I’m talkin’ about, The Crow’s a movie based on a graphic novel by James O’Barr, and it’s got folks all excited ‘cause it’s comin’ back in a whole new way.

Now, in this new version, the main man who’s takin’ on the iconic role of Eric Draven, the crow himself, is none other than Bill Skarsgård. Some of y’all might recognize him from that scary clown movie, It. He’s got that kinda look that just makes you wonder what’s goin’ on inside his head. And lemme tell ya, he’s got big shoes to fill ‘cause the original film, way back in 1994, had Brandon Lee in the lead, and that was somethin’ special.

The poster they released shows Bill Skarsgård all dressed up as Eric Draven, and I gotta admit, it’s a mighty fine piece of work. The dark, moody vibe really fits the story—this man’s back from the dead to get some revenge on the folks who hurt him and his lady, Shelly. And they ain’t shy about showin’ that on this here new poster. You can see the crow’s shadow lurkin’ behind him, and that’s enough to get your blood pumpin’ for sure.

Now, if you’re wonderin’ when you can go see this reimagined classic, mark your calendars, folks, ‘cause it’s comin’ to theaters on August 23, 2024. Yep, not too long now. If you’re real eager, you can even check out the trailer online—get yourself all hyped up for the big day. And I tell ya, it looks like it’s gonna be one wild ride.

The story’s still the same, though, y’all. Eric and Shelly were soulmates, but tragedy struck, and now Eric’s back from the grave, thanks to a mystical crow, to make sure the ones who wronged him pay for what they did. Sounds like a good ol’ revenge tale, don’t it? The thing that makes this one special, though, is how it’s all modernized. They’ve taken the essence of the original and made it fit with today’s world, so it’s gonna be fresh, but still payin’ respect to what came before.

And if you ain’t heard yet, there’s a couple more familiar faces in this one. FKA Twigs—who’s also a talented singer—plays Shelly, and Danny Huston’s in there too, bringin’ his usual charm to whatever role he’s takin’ on. Looks like Lionsgate really picked a good group to bring this story to life.

But it ain’t just about the cast, y’all. There’s somethin’ about the atmosphere in this one that’s got folks buzzin’. The way the dark visuals, the music, and that gritty feel all come together—well, it’s got that Crow magic that fans of the original will appreciate, and it’s sure to bring in a whole new crowd too.

So, while you’re sittin’ around, maybe wonderin’ what to do with your time, go ahead and get ready for The Crow. Lionsgate’s puttin’ in the work to make sure this is a version worth watchin’. And I gotta say, from what I’ve seen so far, I got a good feelin’ about it. Ain’t nothin’ like a good ol’ story of love, loss, and revenge to keep you on the edge of your seat.

Don’t forget, folks, that date—August 23, 2024. Get yourself to the theater and check it out when it drops. Who knows? Maybe you’ll see somethin’ even better than the original. Or maybe you’ll just enjoy the ride down memory lane, with a little modern twist.
