Given the chance to save his true love by sacrificing himself, Eric sets out to seek merciless revenge on their killers, traversing the worlds of the living and the dead to put the wrong things right.\u201d<br \/><br \/>Speaking to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/first-look-the-crow-flies-again-with-bill-skarsgard-and-fka-twigs\"><em>Vanity Fair<\/em><\/a>, Sanders waxed poetic in explaining his fascination with the project. \u201cWhat drew me to this was the opportunity to make a dark romance, something that dealt with loss, grief, and the ethereal veil between life and death and reaching through that,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cLook, I grew up listening to Joy Division and the Cure, and this movie is a bit like a Cure song\u2014the beauty of melancholy.\u201d<br \/><br \/>Brandon Lee, the son of Bruce Lee, played Erik Draven in the original 1994 version of <em><strong>The Crow<\/strong><\/em>. Tragically, he died during production when a firearms stunt went terribly wrong. Referring to Lee\u2019s death, Sanders was quoted as saying: &#8220;Obviously, it was a terrible tragedy, and it\u2019s definitely something that we\u2019ve always had in mind through the making of the film. Brandon was an original voice and I think he will always be synonymous with <em><strong>The Crow<\/strong><\/em> and I hope he\u2019s proud of what we\u2019ve done and how we\u2019ve brought the story back again.&#8221;<br \/><br \/>Sanders added: &#8220;[Lee\u2019s] soul is very much alive in this film. There\u2019s a real fragility and beauty to his version of the Crow, and I think Bill Skarsg\u00e5rd feels like he is a successor to that.&#8221;<br \/><br \/>In the upcoming film, Skarsg\u00e5rd will be sporting tattoos on his face and chest instead of the whiteface paint Lee had worn. This will be the third major role recently for the 33-year-old Swedish-born actor, who is appearing in <em><strong>Boy Kills World<\/strong><\/em> and in the upcoming <em><strong>Nosferatu<\/strong><\/em>. He\u2019d earlier been seen in <em><strong>It Chapter Two<\/strong><\/em>, <em><strong>Deadpool 2<\/strong><\/em>, and <em><strong>John Wick: Chapter 4<\/strong><\/em>.
