‘The Crow’ Redo Flying Back to Detroit?
Mania continues to get update after update from director Stephen Norrington about his forthcoming redo of James O’Barr’s The Crow, which we can confirm is really close to setting up shop for a shoot this summer. “Part of the new story is set in Detroit and we’ve been discussing the logistics of shooting on location,” Norrington told the site. The comic was created by Michigan native James O’Barr who set the original comics series in the Motor City. That setting remained in Alex Proyas’ film version, which very effectively used the city’s run-down reputation and the citizens’ notorious annual tradition of burning derelict houses down on Devil’s Night as a backdrop for the film. Nothing is a lock right now as there are still many factors that can change over the next few months.
Robert Eggers (The Witch, Nosferatu) is back later this year with new horror movie Werwulf, and the very first teaser image from the hotly anticipated movie has surfaced tonight.
Oddly enough, this first look comes courtesy of the NBC Store, and it gives us a glimpse at a chilly Winter landscape from the film. Is there a werewolf hiding in the photo? Maybe…
Set in 13th century England, Werwulf sees a mysterious creature stalk the land as local folklore becomes a terrifying reality. The film hits theaters on December 25 via Focus Features.
Robert Eggers recently teased, “It’s the darkest thing I’ve ever written. By far.”
Eggers directs from a script he penned with his The Northman co-writer Sjón.
Aaron Taylor-Johnson (Nosferatu), Lily-Rose Depp (Nosferatu), Willem Dafoe (The Lighthouse), Ralph Ineson (The Witch), and Bodhi Rae Breathnach (Hamnet) star.
Robert Eggers and Sjón produce alongside Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner for Working Title. Maiden Voyage’s Chris Columbus and Eleanor Columbus are executive producing.
