The Crow is in development, with It star Bill Skarsgård in the lead role as Eric Draven, and FKA twigs also cast.As Deadline reports, the film will be helmed by Rupert Sanders, who previously directed Snow White And The Huntsman and Ghost In The Shell.“The Crow is beautiful, dark, poetic and sometimes disturbing,” Sanders told Deadline. “It is a story of love, loss, grief and revenge.
