Bill Skarsgard plays the iconic role in The Crow, directed by Rupert Sanders. It’s a modern reimagining of James O’Barr’s original graphic novel.
Brutally murdered soulmates Eric Draven, played by Skarsgard, and Shelly Webster, played by FKA Twigs. 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. He traverses the worlds of the living and dead, putting the wrong things right.
Skarsgard shared his thoughts about portraying the iconic character: “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.” Skarsgard commented that working with Twigs was magical. “I can’t wait for the world to see the film.” He hopes the film “resonates with audiences as strongly as it did with those of us involved.”
Twig agrees, “I am so thrilled to be in The Crow alongside the talented Bill Skarsgard. The love Bill and I share on screen is effortless and indicative of the authenticity and ease that I dreamed of bringing to the role of Shelley.”
She said Sanders is an extraordinary director. “I am so excited that the trailer is being unveiled and even more excited to have the world see the film this summer.”
Sanders adds that Draven’s “story is about tragic loss, about dealing with the pain of everything that comes with losing someone you love. It is about the dark shadow of grief.”
I am totally freaked out about this trailer. IT is so scary that I keep looking behind me to see if I am truly alone. The house noises are unsettling and this is a true classic horror movie based on Stephen King’s book of the same title.
Let’s face it. Kids do not like clowns. My daughter was terrified of them, so what better story to scare kids and adults. You can’t trust a clown because they are hidden behind all that make up. Take off the clown makeup and what do you have? Just a scary man…but leave it on and I am diving under that table or running for the hills.
This is an awesome, horrific trailer.
