A new cinematic adaptation of James O’Barr’s goth comic book series The Crow is coming to theaters. We’ve already gotten a look at Bill Skarsgård’s vengeance-seeking protagonist (styled a bit like Jared Leto’s Joker), but now the first trailer is here to reveal more about what to expect.
Director Rupert Sanders (Ghost in the Shell) aims for a revived interest in The Crow with a modern take on the comic starring Skarsgård, which from its first looks have definitely stepped away the beloved 1994 version. The originalstarring the late Brandon Lee is the era-defining take on the story of Eric Draven, a musician who comes back from the dead to avenge his murdered love on Devil’s Night.
Take a look at the first trailer to decide if you’ll give this new approach to The Crow a shot.
The film also stars FKA twigs as Shelley Webster, as well as Danny Huston, Laura Birn, Sami Bouajila, and Jordan Bolger.
The Crow opens in theaters June 7.
