Amazon is already taking pre-orders for the 4K, Blu-ray and DVD releases of The Crow reboot, which just hit theaters.
Lionsgate has released a new version of The Crow to the big screen (you can read our 6/10 review of the film at THIS LINK and see how we find it compared to others crow Movies HERE) — and its opening weekend box office numbers were so disappointing that it probably won’t stay in theaters for very long. So it’s no surprise that Amazon is already taking pre-orders for the film’s 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD releases, complete with a picture of the 4K set, although no home video release date has been announced. You can check out Amazon’s listing of the 4K versions HERE.
Until now, we had referred to this project as a remake, but Lionsgate recently announced that it is not a remake, but a new adaptation of the original, the comic series by James O’Barr. Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman) directed this version of The Crowbased on a screenplay by Oscar nominee Zach Baylin (King Richard). The film is produced by Victor Hadida, Molly Hassell, John Jencks and Edward R. Pressman. Dan Farah serves as executive producer. Here is the synopsis: Soulmates Eric (Bill Skarsgard) and Shelly (FKA twigs) are brutally murdered when the demons of their dark past catch up with them. When the chance to save his true love through self-sacrifice presents itself, Eric sets out to take merciless revenge on their killers, traversing the worlds of the living and the dead to right the wrongs.
Bill Skarsgard (Boy kills world) and singer FKA Twigs will be joined by Danny Huston (Yellowstone), who plays the main villain, and David Bowles (Brothers), Isabella Wei (1899), Laura Birn (A walk between the gravestones), Sami Bouajila (The bouncer) and Jordan Bolger (Peaky Blinders).
Based on the comic series by James O’Barr, the first version of The Crow was released in 1994. After producing three sequels (each about a different resurrected character), a reboot was first announced in late 2008… then the film had to embark on a long journey through development hell. Several screenwriters came and went, scripts were written and scrapped, studios went bankrupt, and directors such as Stephen Norrington, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, Corin Hardy, and Francisco Javier Gutiérrez were all involved in development. Actors considered for the lead role during the long development phase included Bradley Cooper, Mark Wahlberg, Tom Hiddleston, Luke Evans, Jason Momoa, and Jack Huston.
