Three decades after the death of Brandon Lee, The Crow remake director Rupert Sanders is looking to honor the late actor with the new film.Set for a theatrical release in June, The Crow is a reimagined version of the story that was first conceived in a comic book series by James O’Barr. In 1994, the first feature film based on the comics was released, posthumously starring Brandon Lee in the lead role. Tragically, Lee had died in 1993 during production, though the movie was still released as most of his scenes had already been filmed. In a new interview with Vanity Fair, Rupert Sanders addressed how Lee will forever be “synonymous” with the franchise, and that his presence will be felt with the upcoming remake.Bill Skarsgård takes over the role of Eric Draven in the remake, while FKA Twigs co-stars as his doomed lover. Rupert Sanders has teased how the remake will further explore the relationship between the two characters, showcasing more of their romance before the two are attacked. Another difference comes with the look of the main character, as Sanders wanted Eric Draven to be more relatable with the youth of 2024. That meant giving him an appearance that’s less reminiscent of Brandon Lee and more comparable to the popular rappers of today.
