The Konami survival horror game series, Silent Hill, has earned its fair share of fans and accolades over the years. The newest adaptation, Return to Silent Hill, is headed to the big screen, as Cineverse has announced the acquisition of U.S. rights for the newest chapter in the film franchise, per Variety. The upcoming installment, based yet again on Konami’s horror video game series, will have a wide theatrical release in America at a date to be announced. Starring Jeremy Irvine and Hannah Emily Anderson, Return to Silent Hill is directed by Christophe Gans, who is also credited with directing the first Silent Hill movie in 2006.

Silent Hill movie director Christophe Gans returns to the franchise with Return to Silent Hill, and the newest chapter is heading to the big screen per Variety.

Bloody Disgusting’s parent company Cineverse has acquired Return to Silent Hill for wide theatrical release in America, with the film’s release date forthcoming.

Jeremy Irvine stars as James, “a man broken after his relationship with the love of his life, Mary, ends. When a mysterious letter from her calls him back to Silent Hill, he finds a once-recognizable town transformed by an unknown evil.

“While James desperately searches for Mary, he encounters terrifying creatures and begins to unravel the mystery of what happened to the town. But as he descends deeper into the darkness the secrets he uncovers lead to a horrifying truth, and James finds himself struggling to hold on long enough to save his one true love.”

Hannah Emily Anderson also stars.

Robert Strange, while a gifted actor, has crafted out a niche for himself when it comes to creature performing. With an appearance in the 2023-2024 season of Doctor Who, as the Bogeyman, Strange also scored appearances as an Orc named Glûg, Adar's right-hand-man in Prime Video's Rings of Power. Season 3 of the streamer's equally stunning and appealing epic, The Wheel of Time, brought back Strange as one of the Eelfinn. The actor is set to bring to the fore his unique skills once more in Return to Silent Hill, and he has since teased his character.

Return to Silent Hill is the latest adaptation of the hit horror anthology video game series, Silent Hill. The Christophe Gans-directed film will see the return of the famed monster, Pyramid Head. Strange is attached to embody the character of Red Pyramid in the upcoming film, and the actor teased his appearance.

Remakes and especially reboots rarely make sense. There are exceptions to the rule that have the aura of timeless stories that need to be retold from time to time, maybe even for each new generation. But still, reboots are usually uncalled for. The new, uncalled-for reading of The Crow, penned by Zach Baylin and William Josef Schneider, and directed by Rupert Sanders, comes close to the top of that list, as it doesn’t do any justice either to James O’Barr’s comic book series or to Alex Proyas’ 1994 cult classic.

The developmental hell the movie was stuck in for a decade and half, with multiple screenwriters, directors and lead actors attached to it, really shows, from its poorly timed release to the reception from both critics and wider audiences. Although it is not the worst movie of the year – or of the month for that matter - proceed...

The Crow has passed a global box office milestone. 2024's The Crow is a reimagining of the 1994 film of the same name, which starred Brandon Lee as a man named Eric Draven who comes back from the dead to take revenge on those who brutally murdered him and his true love. This year's version of The Crow featured a leading cast including Bill Skarsgrd, FKA twigs, Danny Huston, Josette Simon, Laura Birn, Sami Bouajila, and Karel Dobry. The film was directed by Rupert Sanders with a screenplay written by Zach Baylin and William Josef Schneider.

As per Collider, The Crow passes another global box office milestone. The film has now made over $20 million, with a global box office haul of around $21 million. This total is comprised of $9.2 million domestically and $11.8 million at international markets.

What This Box Office Total Means For The Crow The Crow Likely Lost Money

While The...

You can't please everyone, as the saying goes, but it isn't every day that a jilted filmmaker fires shots -- both publicly and directly -- at a major property that's just released in theaters. Most would probably avoid courting such headlines, but Alex Proyas isn't like most filmmakers and the ever-vocal director isn't holding back on the newly-released remake of "The Crow." Proyas has been a veteran in this business for quite some time, directing 1998's "Dark City" (which still holds up as one of the smartest sci-fi movies ever made), "I, Robot," and, yes, the 2016 flop "Gods of Egypt." But he's perhaps most well-known for bringing the original "The Crow" to life in 1994, starring the late, great Brandon Lee in what would turn out to be his final film after a tragic on-set accident involving a firearm. There have been several attempts at remaking the film throughout the last few decades,...

The Crow remake faced numerous challenges from the outset, including competition and negative reviews. The original film holds strong cultural appeal and is viewed as a sacred classic by fans. The remake failed to resonate with a modern audience due to misunderstanding the original's themes and cultural impact.

To the surprise of few, The Crow remake had an abysmal opening weekend. While apologists will point to it facing stiff competition during a hard time at the box office and negative reviews giving it an unfair framing, even in the best-case scenario of timing and fanfare, the movie was still likely to fail.

As movie fans, we generally don't want to see films fail. We understand the amount of work that goes in, and while it is easy to point to a few figures leading the charge on bad choices, there is always a team of talented people who suffer from a misguided project.

This article contains massive spoilers for "The Crow."

Ever since creator and artist James O'Barr first illustrated and wrote the graphic novel "The Crow" in 1989, the series in all of its manifestations both on and off the silver screen has been a mash-up of various genres and aesthetics. Pulling together such disparate elements as film noir, dystopian fantasy, horror, action, Gothic romantic literature, and the Goth subculture, it's no surprise that "The Crow" and each adaptation of its characters and story has varied wildly. The latest cinematic incarnation, this time from director Rupert Sanders and screenwriters Zach Baylin and William Josef Schneider, is simply titled "The Crow," an indication that this film is intended as a reboot or even remake.

That's more for marketing purposes than anything else, however; this film could easily fit into the larger "Crow" franchise, which is to say that none of the other "Crow" sequels...

There’s a haunting simplicity to James O’Barr’s comic book “The Crow.” The story claims that sometimes — only sometimes — people die under such sad circumstances that their soul can’t rest, so they’re guided back to the land of the living by a crow, in order “to put the wrong things right.” It’s a tale of grief, mostly stuck in the “anger” phase, in which a beautiful walking corpse metes out violent vengeance against the unapologetically evil.

Alex Proyas’ feature film adaptation of “The Crow” was itself the source of overwhelming tragedy when its star, Brandon Lee — the son of martial arts icon Bruce Lee — died in an accident on set. This context can make Proyas’ film hard to watch: Lee’s complicated portrayal of a sad soul coming to terms with pain and mortality hits extremely close to home. But his performance also makes the film incredibly powerful.

To its credit, Rupert Sanders’s The Crow isn’t a mere rehash of Alex Proyas’s 1994 film. The central conflict is the same—a musician and his fiancée are murdered and the former is given the chance to return from the dead to avenge their death—but it expands on both the couple’s love story and the lore behind Eric’s (Bill Skarsgård) connection to the netherworld where the supernatural crows dwell. Unfortunately, in doing so, the remake gets bogged down by a superfluous, hackneyed backstory and narrative threads that are conspicuous for their lack of emotional gravitas, causing the film to feel like a wheel-spinning exercise.

For all its corniness, the original film cut right to the chase by opening with Eric and Shelly’s murder and allowing Eric’s bloody quest for vengeance to commence within a handful of scenes. Proyas understood the importance of narrative efficiency,...

With a résumé that includes the It franchise, Castle Rock and Barbarian, Bill Skarsgard flew off into familiar territory with a title role in the latest incarnation of The Crow. But, then again, he likes it dark.

“Physicality wasn’t really an issue, but the mental state kind of wears on you because you live in it for four months, you know?” Skarsgard told The Hollywood Reporter on Tuesday night at the Lionsgate film’s world premiere held at New York’s Village East by Angelika. “I had a great shoot, a lot of night shoots. … You’re kind of preoccupied in a bleak state of mind for a while. I like to be consumed by it when I’m doing it. Actually, we were working out a lot, I found it really helpful. There’s nothing like being tired and sweaty to get the demons out.”

For filmmaker Rupert Standers,...

The long-awaited return of Eric Draven in The Crow in 2024 offers fans a chance to see a new adaptation of the beloved character. Lionsgate's exclusive theatrical release of The Crow on August 23, 2024, with possible IMAX showings, provides an exciting opportunity for viewers. Those waiting to stream The Crow on Starz will have to be patient, with a likely release date in February 2025 based on Lionsgate's history.

Eric Draven made a long-awaited return in 2024, and there are options for where to watch The Crow over the course of its release. 30 years after Brandon Lee became the first actor to play Eric Draven in a movie, The Crow marks another chance for Hollywood to adapt James O'Barr's popular comic book character. 2024's movie retains the gothic and supernatural elements of the source material as Bill Skarsgrd debuts a new version of The Crow. And while there have been multiple The Crow...

The Crow releases a new clip as part of its presence at San Diego Comic-Con, showcasing Bill Skarsgrd in action as Eric Draven. After the release of the original The Crow in 1994, which starred the late Brandon Lee, a new reimagining is now on the way from director Rupert Sanders. 2024's The Crow follows Skarsgrd's resurrected Draven as he embarks on a mission for vengeance after he and his lover, played by FKA twigs, are brutally murdered.

Lionsgate now releases a new clip from The Crow after first making it available to attendees at Sdcc. Attendees were given exclusive posters with Qr codes on them, and the Qr codes would lead to a new action-packed clip. Check it out below:

It’s been a long time coming, but a reboot of the 1994 cult classic film The Crow (which was based on the comic book series created by James O’Barr) will finally be making its way out into the world on August 23rd, which is when Lionsgate will be giving the film a theatrical release. With that release date swiftly approaching, we figured we should gather together all the information we have on this movie… and here it is, Everything We Know About The Crow 2024:

Not A Remake

Lionsgate has informed us that this new version of The Crow, which we have previously been referring to as a remake, is not to be called a remake. Rather, the film is to be referred to as “a new adaptation of the comic book.” They have also revealed that the tragic characters at the heart of the story are not named Eric Draven and Shelly Webster,...

The Crow remake's age rating has been revealed, and it features more intense warnings than the original. Released in 1994, the original movie was directed by Alex Proyas, with the late Brandon Lee starring as a murdered man who embarks on a path of vengeance after returning from the dead. Now, director Rupert Sanders' The Crowe remake puts actors Bill Skarsgrd in the lead role, and trailers have already teased the movie's dark and bloody tone.

FilmRatings.com now reveals that the MPA has given 2024's The Crow an R rating, just like its predecessor. The reasons behind the rating, however, are more intense, with the MPA citing "strong bloody violence, gore, language, sexuality/nudity, and drug use." The original, on the other hand, earned the rating for "a great amount of strong violence and language, and for drug use and some sexuality."

It's about time for "Silent Hill" to make a comeback. The popular horror video game franchise is not only getting several new entries but also another film adaptation. "Return to Silent Hill" will become the third movie in the series, though it sounds as if director Christopher Gans is making more of a reboot than a proper sequel. The film will serve to accompany the upcoming video game titles in a massive wave of "Silent Hill" projects that publisher Konami announced last October.

The series revolves around the titular town of Silent Hill (located in Maine in the games and West Virginia in the movies), a place imbued with an ancient and terrible power that manifests its visitors' inner fears, traumas, and guilt in the form of misshapen creatures. Each entry follows a different character and their hellish adventures into Silent Hill, where they have to contend with the Order,...
