The Crow is one of the most cherished and beloved films of the 1990’s. The film was the final appearance of the legendary actor Brandon Lee before his untimely death during the filming of the film. The gothic aesthetic, breathtaking action, and revenge fantasy of Alex Proyas’ film all lend itself to a fan-favorite. The film spawned three sequels, a TV show, video games, toys, and novels. It’s based on the comic book of the same name by James O’Barr and now it’s heading to 4K UHD for the first time ever.
The Crow releases with new and legacy bonus content on 4K UHD on May 7th, 2024.
If you’ve never seen The Crow, here’s a synopsis for the film.
Young musician Eric Draven (Brandon Lee) is brutally murdered alongside his fiancée by members of a violent gang. On the anniversary of their death, Eric rises from the grave and assumes the gothic mantle of the Crow, a supernatural avenger. He then sets out on a macabre mission to mercilessly hunt down everyone responsible and make them answer for their crimes.
In addition, there will be a limited-edition SteelBook™ with a 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc and access to a Digital copy of the film, featuring an o-sleeve with a cutout of a crow that lifts to reveal a portrait of Brandon Lee with his guitar.
Both releases include a brand-new three-part documentary created for the 30th anniversary entitled “Shadows & Pain: Designing The Crow.” The new piece is a fascinating deep dive with legendary production designer Alex McDowell, who discusses all aspects of designing the 1994 classic, as well as his experience working with visionary director Alex Proyas and the film’s late star, Brandon Lee.
Also, for the first time on disc, the releases include a conversation with the late Hollywood legend Edward R. Pressman who discussed his prolific career on the occasion of Sideshow Collectibles’ release of a limited figure for THE CROW.
