The Crow

In the thirty years since its release, The Crow has become the ultimate cult movie, with a dedicated worldwide following, two sequels, and a persistent fascination owing to the tragedy that came to define its legacy, in which star Brandon Lee was killed in a strange on-set accident during the last days of filming. In this fully revised and updated edition, author Bridget Baiss tells the full story of The Crow, from the initial adaptation of James O'Barr's graphic novel, through its production and Lee's death, to its final, triumphant release and enduring appeal. Drawing on unprecedented access to the film's cast and crew, including new interviews and research conducted since the release of the first edition, this is a fascinating and revealing look at the troubled making of a modern classic.
