The first of these, streeting on May 7, is director Alex Proyas’ 1994 film release of The Crow: 30th Anniversary Edition, starring Brandon Lee (who was tragically killed during the production of the film) as comic book creator James O’Barr’s risen from the dead hero, Eric Draven.
Bonus features include the newly prepared three-part documentary titled “Shadows & Pain: Designing the Crow” and a new video session with producer Edward R. Pressman titled “Sideshow Collectibles.”
Additionally, there are two vintage commentary options — one with director Alex Proyas and the second teaming producer Jeff Most with screenwriter John Shirley — extended scenes, deleted footage and two archived featurettes — “Behind the Scenes” and “A Profile on James O’Barr.”
This is the fully restored 165-minute extended cut of the film from the original 35mm “Techiscope” film negatives (restoration overseen by none other than filmmaker Martin Scorsese).
Bonus nuggets include the newly minted commentary option featuring Jay Jennings and Tom Betts of the “Spaghetti Western Podcast” and a new featurette titled “A Look Back with Leonard Martin.”
Also included here is the tag-team archived commentary with filmmakers John Carpenter, John Milius and Alex Cox, who are joined by members of the cast and crew, plus film historians Sir Christopher Frayling and Dr. Sheldon Hall.
There are also a trio of vintage featurettes — “The Wages of Sin,” “Something to Do with Death” and “Railroad: Revolutionizing the West.” Extensive production and “Locations: Then and Now” galleries are also featured.
