The first trailer of the upcoming remake of “The Crow,” which stars Bill Skarsgard and FKA Twigs, has been released. And, as it happens everytime a beloved movie gets a new version, there have been mixed reactions to the first teaser.
Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Huntsman) helms the new version, which will once again follow Eric Draven, as he becomes a supernatural killer looking for revenge for his and his fiancé’s murders. The story is based on the comic book series of the same name by James O’Barr.
