Long-anticipated remake of The Crow to hit theatres Fall, 2024 from director Rupert Sanders starring Bill Skarsgård.

"You won't find a more comprehensive, step-by-step account... a cult classic that continues to fascinate... A fitting and emotional tribute to the movie, and its late star, Brandon Lee." — Sean O'Connell, author of Release the Snyder Cut

This "behind-the-scenes retrospective proves a haunting read, as Baiss skillfully escorts the reader through tragedy, despair, hope, and modern Hollywood resurrection." — John Kenneth Muir, author of Horror Films FAQ, creator of Enter the House Between

In the thirty years since its release, The Crow has become the ultimate cult movie, with a dedicated worldwide following, three sequels, and a persistent fascination owing to the tragedy that came to define its legacy, in which star Brandon Lee was killed in a strange on-set accident during the last days of filming.

In this fully revised and updated edition, author Bridget Baiss tells the full story of The Crow, from the initial adaptation of James O’Barr’s graphic novel, through its production and Lee’s death, to its triumphant release, enduring appeal, and impact on on-set firearms safety. Drawing on unprecedented access to the film’s cast and crew, including new interviews and research conducted since the release of the original edition, this is a fascinating and revealing look at the troubled making of a modern classic.
