‘The Crow’ Exclusive Image Promises “Outlandish, Brutal, and Bloody” Vengeance Ahead
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.”
One night. One house. One horrifying experience. Nothing stays buried forever in Bury the Devil, a real-time exorcism movie told in a single, continuous take.
We’re exclusively unveiling the new trailer and key art for the real-time nightmare below, ahead of the film’s release in select theaters and VOD on August 21.
Adam O’Brien (Mom) directs from a script by John Petrizzi and Brad Hodson.
When nurse Julia finds herself trapped inside the home of her dementia patient, she begins to suspect things are not what they seem; something demonic is seeping through the cracks of this old home. Trapped and with nowhere to turn, Julia soon finds herself in battle to rid the house of this evil before it is too late.
Dawn Ford, Emmanuelle Lussier Martinez, Bill Rowat, and Mark Antony Krupa star.
“This film depicts the most harrowing 90 minutes of our protagonist’s life, and I felt that the most visceral way to really feel this was to do a single-shot film,” O’Brien previously teased. “We are with her every step and misstep she takes – through the unraveling of the mystery to the horror of her discovery. It’s a fun, twisty roller-coaster ride that puts a new spin on exorcisms.”
Bury the Devil is the first installment in a planned trilogy. The prequel, Bury the Devil: Origin, is already in development with O’Brien returning to the helm.
O’Brien produces along with Philip Kalin-Hajdu (The Sacrifice Game) and Benoit Beaulieu (Turbo Kid).
