Actor Bill Skarsgard, who played Pennywise the clown in the movie “It,” will star in the remake of “The Crow.” The new version of the 1994 classic, which became part of the cult cinema due to the Brandon Lee incident, will also be directed by Rupert Sanders, known for directing “Snow White and the Huntsman” and “Ghost in the shell”.
The Hollywood Reporter confirmed that Skarsgard and Sanders will work together on the reimagined version of the ’90s-era feature film.

Bill will take on the lead role of Eric Draven, aka ‘The Raven’, remembered for his dark, gothic appearance adapted from the comic strip to the big screen.
The character became a symbol of the times after an incident during a shooting scene that, in an accident caused by an unverified weapon, ended up taking the life of Brandon Lee.

In 1996 the sequel “The crow: city of angels” was released, followed by “The crow: salvation” (2000) and “The crow: wicked prayer” (2005). They all had different protagonists, but they did not achieve the same recognition as their predecessor.
