After years of false starts, The Crow is finally coming back to life with a brand new movie from director Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman, Ghost in the Shell), with Bill Skarsgård (IT) leading the cast as Eric Draven and singer/actor FKA Twigs co-starring. Zach Baylin (King Richard) is writing the script, and international rights have just been swooped up.
Filming kicks off this summer and Screen Daily reports this morning that the hot reboot package from FilmNation has been picked up by several “heavyweight international buyers.”
Screen Daily details, “Closed deals include Entertainment Film for the UK, Leonine for Germany, Roadshow Films for Australia and New Zealand, Eagle for Italy, Nordisk for Scandinavia, California Filmes for Latin America, Tri Pictures for Spain, and Moviecloud for Taiwan.
“In further trading, rights have gone for Middle East (Italia), Eastern Europe (Vertical), Benelux (WWE), Thailand (M Pictures), Malaysia (Square Box), Singapore (Shaw), Portugal (Pris), Switzerland (Ascot Elite), Greece (Tanweer), South Africa (Empire), India (PVR), Turkey (Yeni Bir), and Baltics (Acme).”
“CAA Media Finance represents US rights,” Screen Daily notes.
It would seem that The Crow reboot is finally happening for real this time, as this is the furthest along any iteration of the project has come. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
In the 1994 movie starring the late Brandon Lee, Eric Draven’s fiancée is killed alongside Draven, setting the film’s revenge storyline into motion. It spawned a handful of sequels.
