Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT A remake of The Crow is officially happening, but one detail regarding the film sets the remake up to continue a worrying trend. Although a remake of The Crow could be promising, the marketing campaign for the upcoming Bill Skarsgård-led film has gotten off on the wrong foot, with various problems from the first trailer and released images piling up to make fans of the original worried about the 2024 version.
The Director Of The Crow 2024's Last Movie Was 2017's Ghost In The Shell The director of 2024's The Crow remake is Rupert Sanders, and the filmmaker's track record makes The Crow even more worrying. Sanders' first movie was 2012's Snow White and the Huntsman, a film that received mixed reviews upon its release. However, what's even scarier is that Rupert Sander's most recently directed movie is the 2017 Ghost in the Shell live-action remake.
The Crow Remake Is Already Showing Some Worrying Signs Although the film isn't out yet, the marketing campaign for The Crow 2024 is already showing some worrying signs, potentially setting up another remake failure. The choice to use a Post Malone song in The Crow's first trailer shows that the film is attempting to go for a completely different tone.
Why The Crow Remake Could Still Work Close Although all the signs point to the film being in trouble, it is possible that The Crow remake could still work. Although Ghost in the Shell was the last feature film that Rupert Sanders directed, it isn't the last thing he directed. Sanders actually directed the pilot of the TV series Foundation, a show that received critical acclaim across the board.
