[OMFG] Check Out Some Punk Rock Concept Art for ‘The Crow’!
Are you ready for some [OMFG] awesome?
Back on October 14 Intruders and 28 Weeks Later director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo exited The Crow reboot, which was to star Bradley Cooper as the elusive Eric Draven, a man brutally murdered who comes back to life as an undead avenger of his and his fiancée’s murder.
While that version of the project is officially dead and in the rearview mirror Bloody Disgusting landed some imagery that’s literally going to blow your mind: how about a look at some of the original concept art designed by famed comic artist Diego Latorre?! Eh, eh?!
Latorre has worked on Marvel’s “Hulk”, “Dante’s Inferno,” “Fringe” and the upcoming “Batman Europa” with DC Comics! After the break you’ll be able to see what Eric Draven might have looked like in Relativity’s reboot, while you’ll find more about Latorre at his official website.
The movie is based on James O’Barr’s legendary comic of the same name. Brandon Lee was the first to play Draven in Dimension//Miramax’s 1994 The Crow. *UPDATE: The “The Crow” images published recently are very early production sketches and are based in Latorre’s own visual interpretation of the character and not necessarily in Apaches Entertainment and director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo vision.
We have an exclusive first look at A Man in the Woods With an Axe, a blood-soaked, genre-twisting homage to 1980s slasher films.
Spanning four decades, A Man in the Woods With an Axe begins in the summer of 1987 before pushing into the modern era, weaving together timelines and perspectives in a way that builds both dread and intrigue.
Drawing inspiration from genre standouts like Tucker and Dale vs. Evil, Hatchet, and The Cabin in the Woods, the film blends visceral horror with moments of dark humor, creating a uniquely balanced experience that honors tradition while carving its own identity.
Writer-director Dillon Brown (Primal Darkness) aims to deliver everything fans crave from a slasher while boldly subverting expectations with a mid-film twist that redefines the story.
“This is an unapologetic love letter to the films that made me fall in love with horror,” Brown tells Bloody Disgusting. “But I didn’t just want to recreate that feeling; I wanted to challenge it. About halfway through, the film takes a turn that completely changes how you view not only this story, but the genre itself.”
Brown describes the vintage-inspired production as “far and away the bloodiest film I’ve ever made,” with practical effects helmed by Cody Ruch (The Mill, Pig Hill), an instructor at Tom Savini’s Special Make-Up Effects Program.
From Horror Dadz Productions, A Man in the Woods With an Axe is currently in production and targeting an early 2027 release.
