Finally, The crow came to the big screen and became a true cult classic of the 90s. Over the years, other films and even a television series appeared that somehow continued the story. But honestly, They were inconsequential projects that detracted from the quality and legacy of the original film..

Caught in a state of limbo between the living and the dead, Eric sets out to avenge her death, walking the fine line between the natural and supernatural worlds..
About this act, Rupert Sanders explained this Vanity Fair who grew up with bands like Joy Division and The Curethat’s the reason for your vision of the film “It’s a bit like a song by The Cure: the beauty of melancholy”. And yes, of course this caught the attention of all of us who like these nostalgic dark bands, but also those who love music and cinema.
The director of the reboot The crow He published very interesting information about the version that we will see in this film, such as will explore Eric and Shelly’s love story in more detail to give more emphasis to revenge and transformation. But that’s what he said too The protagonist’s visual aesthetic is not entirely inspired by that of the comic book character created by James O’Barr and even less so with Brandon Lee.
Instead, gave Bill the freedom to find his own interpretation of the roleeven though Sanders has made that clear Not only did they draw on his own experiences as a young outsider in ’90s London, but they also took inspiration from current figures like Post Malone and Lil Peep.…just like you read it.
