History Trivia / TheCrow2024

* DuelingMovies: In essence with ''Film/BoyKillsWorld''. Both are stylized action films centered on {{Revenge}} and star Creator/BillSkarsgard in the lead role. However, whereas ''Boy Kills World'' is a tongue-in-cheek, original action movie with copius amount of BlackComedy and graphic novel influences, ''The Crow'' is a serious, darkly-toned action movie based on an actual comic book series.
* ReleaseDateChange: From June 7th to August 23rd.

*** Davis stated that she would not be watching the remake mostly out of respect for Lee and that she didn't have high hopes for it to begin with, calling on fans of the original to boycott it. She further stated that she did not take issue with Skarsgård as an actor, but hated his "dingy, dirty, grungy" look as Eric so much that her first reaction to pictures of him in costume was "Yuck." She additionally complained about "a lack of diversity" as she believed that "anyone other than a straight white male" would've been a better fit for Eric. However, she supported the additional RaceLift casting of Music/FKATwigs as Shelly Webster, admitted that people would still watch the remake regardless, and found a silver lining in it introducing the story of ''The Crow'' to newer generations.

--->"I really don't get any joy from seeing negativity about any fellow filmmakers work. And I'm certain the cast and crew really had all good intentions, as we all do on any film. So it pains me to say any more on this topic, but I think the fan's response speaks volumes. THE CROW is not just a movie. Brandon Lee died making it, and it was finished as a testament to his lost brilliance and tragic loss. It is his legacy. That's how it should remain."
