Move over John Wick, a new revenge story soars!

The cult classic The Crow (1994) is getting a remake this year. The Crow (2024) stars Bill Skarsgård as the murdered musician-turned-avenger, Eric Draven.

This fresh take on a story of love, crime, and vengeance will especially delight newcomers. However, it also has a legacy to uphold. The 1994 film set a high bar that sequels couldn’t quite reach.

The Crow (1994) achieved cult status not just for its goth aesthetic, but also due to the tragic death of Brandon Lee during filming. A technical error caused a prop gun to fire a fatal shot, forcing rewrites and graphic alterations.

Despite these challenges, the film garnered a devoted following, positive reviews, and a global box office gross exceeding $90 million.

Watch the trailer below and see if Skarsgård can bring a new dimension to this iconic role!
