It’s anti-Marvel
“We’ve finally reached a point where we have the opportunity to explore other avenues. Crow is a unique piece of work. It’s not a studio movie, it’s not a Marvel movie — it’s even, in a way, an anti-Marvel movie.”

Sam Pressman adds: “Rupert Sanders is a visionary (…). Crow is a central part of our production company and I’m really proud of the progress we’ve made and the work we’ve done.
I think the film will surprise people. Our partners want to approach it from 360°, whether it’s a video game, an animated series or a whole other world, but it can go beyond a single story..”
Beyond just a movie, Lionsgate could create an entire universe dedicated to The Crow. In the graphic novel, Eric Draven and his fiancée are attacked and killed by a gang after the couple’s car breaks down. Eric is resurrected by the spade and seeks revenge on those who took his life and that of his loved one.
The Alex Proyas film had 3 sequels: City of Angels with Vincent Perez (1997), Salvation (2000) directed by Eric Mabius and Kirsten Dunst, and The Crow: Wicked Prayer with Edward Furlong and David Boreanaz.
James O’Barry’s graphic novel was also adapted into a television series that aired in the late 1990s and was directed by Mark Dacascos.
In the production of the film, the strike is expected to end.
