THE CROW Reboot Adds HONEY BOY Actress/Singer FKA Twigs As Eric Draven's Fiancée

Over the weekend, the news broke that yet another attempt to re-adapt The Crow for the big screen is currently underway, with It actor Bill Skarsgård set to play the lead role of Eric Draven. Now, we have word on which actress has been cast as Draven's fiancée.

THR reports that British singer-songwriter, record producer, dancer, video director and actress Tahliah Debrett Barnett, better known as FKA Twigs, has boarded the project as the "co-lead."

In James O'Carr's original story, Shelly Webster doesn't last very long after being savagely raped and murdered by a gang of thugs, but it sounds like the character will have a more significant presence in this movie. Whether that means Shelly survives the attack or is resurrected along with Draven remains to be seen.

Snow White and the Huntsman and Ghost in the Shell director Rupert Sanders will helm the film, which has reportedly been in pre-production for some time. Cameras are scheduled to roll this June.

Multiple filmmakers have attempted to get a retelling of this gothic tale of the ground, and while some fans will surely be overjoyed to hear that The Crow has been given a new lease of life, the news may not be met with a particularly enthusiastic response from everyone. Many feel Alex Proyas’ 1994 take on the material starring the late Brandon Lee did a perfect job of adapting the story and should be left alone.

Twigs is best-known as a recording artist, but recently made inroads into acting with an appearance in Alma Har'e's Honey Boy. She also has Brighton Beach on the way.

@grif - Not sure why they are rebooting. The Crow can literally be anyone. Why go back to Draven?

@CorndogBurglar - well the draven story was the only successful one of the original film series

Makes sense to start off with what they know works before moving onto new stuff.

In O'Barr's original story that's barely the order of events.

Kind of wish they were adapting one of the other Crow comics, I've read the original and the last one I read was Skinning The Crow.
Maybe if this does well, that's what they'll eventually do with each sequel.

Just not a fan of the Director

Regardless I'll always have the Original Crow movie with Brandon Lee

Very true, such a shame as there's a wealth of source material.

@SimplyAz - Agreed, I found a short fan film that actually adapted "The Crow - Waking Nightmares" comic.

This is a dumpster fire in the early stages of being lit. His Ghost in the Shell missed literally every point from the manga and amime adaptations. We already have a great film for this ip...they should have stopped at that.

What a shame, they’re going to ruin this entire franchise before it even gets rebooted.

Out of all the actors that have been attached to the reboot Bill Skarsgard is the most exciting choice to me. I'm staying casually optimistic about this until I see diffrent.

I would love to see Michael Wincott involved somehow, he stole the show as Top Dollar in the first one.

@RorMachine - her music is too, even if it isn't my cup of tea. Still feels like a weird casting though

@RorMachine - she's good. but she was racially abused in 2014 because she had a relationship with Battinson and fans didn't like it...wtf

I wonder what type of music will be in the back drop of the film.



I hope it's not cringe🥲
