The Crow: New Poster Is Not Doing This One Any Favors
The Crow releases in theaters next month, and over the weekend Lionsgate released another poster for the film.
Article Summary
- New poster for The Crow featuring Bill Skarsgård surrounded by crows criticized for poor photoshop quality.
- Film starring Bill Skarsgård, FKA Twigs, and Danny Huston, directed by Rupert Sanders.
- Latest poster from Lionsgate exemplifies ongoing concerns about the film's marketing and direction.
- Bill Skarsgård discusses his unique take on Eric Draven in the reimagined story, set to release on August 23rd.
The Crow has a new poster, and for those who have been blasting this film online, it will probably give them even more ammunition. It features Bill Skarsgård as Eric Draven, front and center, surrounded by crows, imagine that. It looks so badly photoshopped, and it feels like another example of how this film has been handled poorly since the first images and trailer were revealed. The film also stars FKA Twigs and Danny Huston. It is directed by Rupert Sanders, who made some interesting comparisons to his movie last week in an interview with Empire. You can see the new poster below, which was released by Lionsgate over the weekend.
The Crow Is Facing An Uphill Battle Right Now
Bill Skarsgård takes on the iconic role of THE CROW in this modern reimagining of the original graphic novel by James O'Barr. Soulmates Eric Draven (Skarsgård) and Shelly Webster (FKA twigs) 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.
Here is Bill about taking over the iconic role of The Crow: "I was a huge fan of the original film growing up as a kid and was so honored to take on the role of Eric Draven. But what really drew me to it was what Rupert Sanders wanted to do with it. He wanted to completely reimagine the story and the character and tailor it toward a modern audience. It's a character I know many revere and have a strong connection to – he is unlike any I've ever taken on before. Working with the remarkably talented FKA Twigs was magical. I felt a responsibility to Eric's story and endeavored to stay true to the spirit of the source material; I can't wait for the world to see the film, and I hope it resonates with audiences as strongly as it did with those of us involved."
The Crow opens in theaters on August 23rd.
