🐦‍⬛ The Crow Reboot starring Bill Skarsgård, FKA Twigs 🐦‍⬛ (Discussion Thread)

[LevelUp]

After years of false starts and many rings of development hell, The Crow appears ready to fly again.

Bill Skarsgard, who played Pennywise the Clown in the It horror movies, will star in the reboot of the supernatural revenge thriller that will be directed by Rupert Sanders, best known for helming Snow White and the Huntsman and Ghost in the Shell.

Longtime Crow steward Edward R. Pressman and Malcolm Gray, a co-producer on the 2019 Chadwick Boseman thriller 21 Bridges, are producing.

Crow was an indie comic written and drawn by James O’Barr in the late 1980s that told the dark tale of a man and his fiancee who are assaulted and killed by a gang after the couple’s car breaks down. The man is resurrected by a crow and exacts vengeance on those who took his life and the life of his love

The story never centers around him being asian, it's just that I've always associated Brandon Lee with that role and with him being the son of Bruce Lee, I'd prefer an Asian actor.

After first seeing Rapid Fire I was a Brandon Lee fan.

I never said he doesn't look white ( he doesn't if you wanna argue ). Only that he's part of a larger legacy - Bruce's legacy which was breaking down barriers as a Chinese actor and I'd prefer that a reboot kept that opportunity in mind.

They could have cast Henry Golding. Andrew Koji.

To make matters worse this is the same director who cast Scarlett Johannson in Ghost In The Shell.
