The Crow was quite a critical and commercial success back when it released in 1984. Now, the iconic film by Alex Proyas is set for a remake with Bill Skarsgård taking over the role of Eric Draven, who was originally brought to life by Brandon Lee.
Amidst the growing anticipation surrounding The Crow reboot, Lionsgate shared a teaser on March 13 and announced the release date of the official trailer of the title. The production house confirmed that the first full trailer for the upcoming reboot is scheduled to release on March 14, 2024.
The trailer is set to give fans a glimpse into the much-awaited title before it hits theatres on June 7, 2024.
The Crow official teaser: What does it depict?
The teaser for the upcoming Rupert Sanders movie was released earlier today but barely shed light on the plot of the title. Rather, it seemingly gave viewers a glimpse of the tone that the film plans to follow.
The highly stylized teaser was a graphic representation of the dark and dream-like tone that the film will feature. It included heaps of blood and eerie visuals and announced that the trailer will release on March 14.
The story, like its predecessor, will follow Eric Draven, who is mysteriously brought back to life after being killed alongside his fiancée, setting him on a path of destruction and revenge.
The official synopsis for the film, as per Lionsgate, reads:
"Soulmates Eric Draven and Shelly Webster are brutally murdered when the demons of her dark past catch up with them. Given the chance to save his true love by sacrificing himself, Eric sets out to seek merciless revenge on their killers, traversing the worlds of the living and the dead to put the wrong things right."
The new movie is written by Zach Baylin and Will Schneider. It is based on the graphic novel of the same name. It is produced by Molly Hassell, Victor Hadida, and Edward R. Pressman, among many others.
