Bill Skarsgård’s look in the The Crow reboot has sparked a reaction from Alex Proyas. Proyas was the director of the 1994 movie adaptation of the The Crow comic series, which starred the late Brandon Lee. The new version, which was directed by Rupert Sanders, stars Skarsgård as musician Eric Draven, who is resurrected as The Crow to seek vengeance after he and his fiancée (FKA Twigs) are killed. When images from the movie were released showcasing Draven with face tattoos and shorter hair, they were lambasted on social media and negatively compared to Joker’s look in 2016’s Suicide Squad.
On Facebook, Proyas joined in on the mockery by sharing a post making fun of Eric Draven’s look from the The Crow reboot. Check out his post below:
The director shared an image of the movie with the caption “Eric Draven’s having a bad hair day. Next reboot thanks.” In the comments, he expressed further opinions on the images, saying “I guess he’s supposed to be a bad mofo with all those tats and werewolves and skulls on his jacket,” and “Samuel Adams! Jesus! He could at least drink something more bad-ass.“
