Lionsgate modifies releases of 'The Crow' and 'SAW XI'

Lionsgate just announced a small change to its release schedule, affecting two of its highest-profile projects (via Deadline).

On the one hand, the new version of The Crow from the director Rupert Sanders (Snow White and the Hunstman, Ghost in the Shell) rules out its launch on June 7, 2024, to set as new release date August 23, 2024.

The reboot of The Ravendescribed as a modern reimagining of James O'Barr's graphic novel, stars Bill Skarsgård (saga IT, Barbarian) as Eric Draven, the singer and songwriter, FKA Twigs (Honeyboy) as Shelly Webster, Draven's betrothed, Danny Huston (Succession) in an antagonistic role, Laura Birn (Foundation), Sami Bouajila (A Son), y Jordan Bolger (The Woman King).

The plot centers on “soulmates Eric Draven (Skarsgård) and Shelly Webster (FKA Twigs) who are brutally murdered when demons from their dark past catch up with them. Given the opportunity to save his true love by sacrificing himself, Eric sets out to exact ruthless revenge on his murderers, traversing the worlds of the living and the dead to right the wrongs.

As to SAW XIthe new sequel to the slasher horror franchise SAWpostpones its premiere a full year, ruling out the date of September 27, 2024, and setting the new release for September 26, 2025.

The change of the eleventh film Saw It makes perfect sense, since the film is still in the development stage.

Kevin Greutert returns as director of SAW XIafter having directed SAW Xand other chapters of the franchise such as Saw VI (2009), y Saw: The Final Chapter (2010). He was editor of Saw, Saw II, Saw II, Saw IV, Saw Vy Jigsaw.

Oren Koules and Mark Burg will produce the new installment.

As revealed in December 2023, the writers Josh Stolberg y Pete Goldfingerwho wrote Jigsaw, Spiral: From the Book of Sawy Saw Xthey will not return for SAW XI.

At the moment it has not been revealed if Tobin Bell o Shawnee Smith They would reprise their roles, although we believe that is almost a fact.

SAW X made a global box office of over $100 million, so a new sequel was guaranteed to get underway. The franchise as a whole collects more than $1 billion dollars in the global box office.
