Bill Skarsgård and FKA twigs are the new it couple about to haunt your very soul in the new trailer for The Crow. Hitting theaters on June 7, the iconic story is getting a terrifying makeover and it looks utterly thrilling. The trailer plays out like a cinematic daydream-turned-nightmare, set to the frantic pulse of Post Malone’s “Take What You Want” featuring Travis Scott and the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne (who else?). It’s gory, violent, and completely gripping—you won’t be able to tear your eyes away.
Directed by Rupert Sanders and also starring Danny Huston, The Crow follows lovers Eric Draven (Skarsgård) and Shelly Webster (FKA twigs) who are brutally murdered, sending Eric on a twisted mission of revenge between the worlds of the living and the dead. Check out some words from the actors below and keep scrolling to fall down the deep, dark rabbit hole of the trailer.
A note from Bill Skarsgård:
I was a huge fan of the original film growing up as a kid and was so honored to take on the role of Eric Draven. But really what drew me to it was what Rupert Sanders wanted to do with it. He wanted to completely reimagine the story and the character and tailor it towards a modern audience. It’s a character that I know many revere and have a strong connection to – he is unlike any I’ve ever taken on before. Working with the remarkably talented FKA Twigs was magical. I felt a responsibility to Eric’s story and endeavored to stay true to the spirit of the source material; I can’t wait for the world to see the film, and hope it resonates with audiences as strongly as it did with those of us involved.
A note from FKA twigs:
I am so thrilled to be in THE CROW alongside the talented Bill Skarsgård and extraordinary director Rupert Sanders. The love Bill and I share on screen is effortless and indicative of the authenticity and ease that I dreamed of bringing to the role of Shelley. Eric and Shelley’s unbreakable unity is so profound and beautiful, something I hope we all feel at least once as part of the human experience. I am so excited that the trailer is being unveiled and even more excited to have the world see the film this summer.
