"IT" actor Bill Skarsgard tapped to play "The Crow"
Bill Skarsgard has been tapped to play “The Crow.”
The actor gave everyone the creeps by playing the terrifying Pennywise in the rebooted “IT” films, and now he sets his sight to the skies.
Skarsgard has the lead role of Eric in the reboot of the 1994 film.
It centers around a young man who, along with his girlfriend, is brutally murdered.
When he's resurrected by a crow, he seeks vengeance on those responsible for the crime.
It's good for “The Crow” fans, signaling the film is finally moving forward after being in “development hell” for years.
Reports say pre-production is in full swing, with filming starting in June.
