This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.
Summary
- The choice of Post Malone’s music in the 2024 “The Crow” remake trailer is controversial.
- The original film’s alt-rock soundtrack set a dark and moody tone that is missing in the remake.
- Fans may be concerned that the new version is moving too far away from the original’s iconic atmosphere.
The first trailer for the 2024 The Crow remake is out now, and the trailer’s choice of song is already highlighting a big problem with the Bill Skarsgård movie. 2024’s The Crow is a highly anticipated film, with fans of the franchise not getting much major representation since the 1994 Brandon Lee movie. However, the cult comic series is now more relevant than ever, with tons of hype surrounding the franchise’s new film. The marketing campaign for The Crow remake may have gotten off on the wrong foot, though, and the trailer’s choice of song really proves this.
The first trailer for The Crow uses Post Malone’s 2019 hit “Take What You Want” throughout the trailer, and this choice of music definitely makes the remake stand out from the original. However, this isn’t a good thing. The original The Crow had a soundtrack that mostly consisted of alt-rock, with The Cure’s “Burn” famously being used alongside songs from bands like Nine Inch Nails and Rage Against the Machine.
Since The Crow is a remake, it makes sense for the Bill Skarsgård version to make some changes in order to make the film stand out from its predecessor. However, using songs from artists like Post Malone causes the first The Crow trailer to have a tone that is far too different from the original movie. The dark and moody tone is one of the most important aspects of The Crow, and the rock and metal music from the original film was one of the biggest contributors to this feel. Sadly, The Crow‘s trailer song proves that the film may be drifting too far away from the 1994 original.
