Disclaimer: This article contains spoilers for The Crow movie.
The 2024 adaptation of The Crow tells a dark and tragic story with a supernatural element. Based on James O’Barr’s comic book, this new version adds a modern twist. The movie stars Bill Skarsgård as Eric Draven, who comes back to life to get revenge after he and his girlfriend, Shelley, are killed. The film premiered in theaters on August 23.
The story begins with a video recorded by Zadie, Shelley’s friend, which shows Shelley committing a murder and interacting with a mysterious man. Zadie tries to leave town but is captured by an unknown attacker. Sensing danger, Shelley hides her phone and gets herself arrested on drug charges to escape. While in a rehab facility, she meets Eric, and they quickly fall in love.
Eric and Shelley’s romance grows strong, but their happiness is threatened by Shelley’s troubled past. The people responsible for Zadie’s death eventually find them, leading to a tragic end where both Eric and Shelley are killed.
The movie’s villain is Vincent Roeg, a demonic crime lord played by Danny Huston. Roeg has the power to control people’s actions with his satanic whispers, often driving them to suicide or murder. He uses this power to manipulate Shelley, forcing her to commit murder, which is caught on camera. Roeg’s powers have been used for centuries, making him a dangerous foe.
After their deaths, Eric’s soul is taken to a place between life and death, where he meets Kronos, a spirit who gives him the power to return to the living world and defeat Roeg. Eric’s mission is fueled by his love for Shelley, but when he discovers the truth about her actions, he loses his powers.
He bargains with Kronos, offering his soul in exchange for Shelley’s resurrection. Kronos agrees, giving Eric his powers back but promising that Eric will die once he defeats Roeg.
In the end, Eric defeats Roeg by transporting him to Kronos’ dimension, where the spirits of the damned help send Roeg to eternal hell. Shelley is resurrected, but Eric’s human form dies as promised. The movie ends with Eric content in Kronos’ dimension, hoping to reunite with Shelley’s soul one day.

After the success of The Family Plan, Mark Wahlberg and Apple are teaming up again. According to Deadline, Apple Original Films has secured the rights to a new movie called Weekend Warriors, in a competitive deal. The film will be written and directed by Stephen Chbosky.
The project is still in early development and will be produced by Plan B and The SpringHill Company, alongside Apple Studios. The story is based on the 2023 German film Weekend Rebels, which was inspired by a true story.
The original German film, released in 2023, is about a father and his autistic son, who is determined to see every team in his favorite soccer league. The American remake will shift the story from soccer to basketball, reflecting the involvement of LeBron James’s SpringHill Company.
This change aims to make the film more relevant to American audiences. James himself might appear in the film, given his acting experience in Trainwreck and House Party. However, the full cast has not yet been announced.
Wahlberg and Chbosky joined the project after a trailer for the film was shown at a WME talent meeting. The film will be produced by Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner for Plan B, and by Spencer Beighley, LeBron James, and Jamal Henderson for SpringHill.
Maverick Carter, co-founder of SpringHill, will serve as an executive producer, along with Michelle Wilens. The movie will also be made in association with Wiedemann & Berg Film, who produced the original German film.
The German version of the film received a mixed response, with an average rating of 7.1 out of 10 on IMDb. Weekend Warriors must handle its portrayal of autism sensitively, avoiding the mistakes of other films that have been criticized for their representation of autism.
Weekend Warriors marks the second collaboration between Wahlberg and Apple Original Films, following the success of The Family Plan, which became the most-watched movie on Apple TV+.
Recently, Wahlberg starred in the Netflix action comedy The Union, which quickly made it into Netflix’s Top 10 list. He also has upcoming projects, including the Lionsgate thriller Flight Risk and the Amazon MGM Studios film Play Dirty. Currently, he is filming the Peter Farrelly comedy Balls Up for Amazon MGM and Skydance.
