‘The Crow’ Exclusive Image Promises “Outlandish, Brutal, and Bloody” Vengeance Ahead

The Crow

Actor Bill Skarsgård (IT) will unleash “outlandish, brutal, and bloody” violence this week with the release of Lionsgate’s The Crow in theaters, a new take on the iconic tale. Ahead of the film’s release, we’ve got an exclusive image highlighting the bloodshed in store.

The Crow releases in theaters on August 23

In the new movie, “Soulmates Eric (Skarsgård) and Shelly (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.”

The new image above hails from the “Opera House” clip released last week and included below, featuring Skarsgård in full vengeance mode. 

Director Rupert Sanders said of the sequence, “We relish in the majesty of the opera being performed while experiencing the violence and actions of Eric, who kills an endless stream of Vincent’s people to get Shelly back. It’s an opera within a movie, but it’s really about high culture smashing into low culture. There’s a ballet to the violence. The action is outlandish, brutal, and bloody, and it’s a little bit pushed. With the action cut with the opera and set to the opera’s score, the violence becomes its own ballet.”

Stunt coordinator Adam Horton (Mission Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, The Dark Knight Rises) shared his approach to choreographing the standout action sequence at the Opera house, calling it a “blood opera” and what inspired him was “dark, painful torture, and to feel the emotional torment when designing the action within Eric’s journey.”

Zach Baylin (King Richard) and Will Schneider wrote the script, with the new movie of course based on James O’Barr’s original graphic novel that spawned a previous film franchise.

Danny Huston (30 Days of Night) also stars alongside Laura Birn (Foundation), Sami Bouajila (A Son), and Jordan Bolger (The Woman King).

The new movie is rated “R” for…

“Strong bloody violence, gore, language, sexuality/nudity, and drug use.”
