Lionsgate has released a new clip and poster for its upcoming reboot of The Raventhat a lot of people are not excited to see. No matter how the filmmakers try to shoot it, there are a lot of people who are not happy with it.
The clip features an action sequence clearly inspired by what we’ve seen in the John Wick franchise. It features The Crow in a brawl confined to a car.
Director Rupert Sanders previously spoke about the film and tried to explain that it’s not just another Hollywood remake. He explained, “There’s nothing Hollywood about this movie. It’s a very ramshackle indie film.”
He went on to tease that they wanted to make a film that was closer to creator James O’Barr’s source material. By making a more indie-style film, the creative team was “able to stay close to the core, darkness, and violence that is in the graphic novel.”
The director added: “The only reason we could do it is because it’s not a studio film.” He also said that budget constraints made the film better: “You have to be more skilled at making things more efficiently, that are emotionally resonant and not just spectacular.”
In the film: “Soulmates Eric Draven (Skarsgård) and Shelly Webster (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 on a journey to seek ruthless vengeance on their killers, spanning the worlds of the living and the dead to right what was wrong.”
So far there has been an initial reaction to the film from Warrior screenwriter Dorfman Cliffwho said: “If hypothetically, one saw a screening of @TheCrow_Movie #thecrow that @Lionsgate is releasing in August, one might say, this is horrible, this is unwatchable, don’t waste your money, or I can’t believe it’s that much worse than the original. It is. And don’t do it.”
This version of the film also features the singer/actor FKA twigs, Danny Houston (30 days of darkness), Laura Birn (Foundation), Sami Bouajila (A son), AND Jordan Bolger (The woman king).
The Raven The reboot will be released in theaters on August 23, 2024.
