Crow Reboot Soundtrack Features Joy Division and Enya

The soundtrack for The Crow is set to be released, and the complete tracklist has been unveiled. This collection features a diverse range of artists, including Joy Division, Enya, and Debussy, ensuring a variety yet consistent, moody atmosphere throughout. Given that the music of The Crow has always been an integral part of the franchise’s allure, this new soundtrack is something fans and newcomers alike should keep an eye on.

The new 2024 movie stars Bill Skarsgård (famous for his role in IT), singer-songwriter FKA Twigs (notable for Honeyboy), and Danny Huston (known from Succession). The film is reportedly a complete reboot of the story, suggesting it will adapt the same set of comics that inspired the first The Crow movie released in 1994. That original movie was a significant success, both critically and commercially, aided by its hit soundtrack and forward-thinking aesthetic.

In its original release, The Crow: The Original Motion Picture Soundtrack reached the top spot on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart in the United States. It sold 3.8 million copies domestically and earned a 3x Platinum certification from the RIAA. The 1994 soundtrack featured tracks from major artists like The Cure, Rage Against the Machine, and Stone Temple Pilots, whose song on the album peaked at #3 on Billboard’s mainstream rock charts.

For those eager to know, here is the full tracklist for the 2024 film as reported by The AV Club:

“Des Pas Sur La Neige” – Debussy
“Disorder” – Joy Division
“Fall” – The Bug Ft. Inga Copeland
“Thin Flesh” – Traitrs
“The Killer” – Landr
“M.E.” – Gary Numan
“Total Depravity” – The Veils
“Boadicea” – Enya
“Meaning” – Cascadeur
“What Went Down” – Foals

The Crow has faced numerous production challenges over the past decade, cycling through various directors, actors, and studios. Even after news broke that filming had wrapped, skepticism lingered as to whether the movie would actually see the light of day. It wasn’t until trailers were released that the audience finally believed that the film was indeed on its way.

Directed by Rupert Sanders (known for Foundation, Ghost in the Shell, and Snow White and The Huntsman) and written by Zach Baylin (recognized for his work on King Richard and the upcoming Creed III), the reboot boasts a strong behind-the-scenes team. Producers include Molly Hassell (known for Braven and Terminal), Victor Hadida (associated with the Resident Evil and Silent Hill franchises), John Jencks (recognized for Honest Thief and Guns Akimbo), and Edward R. Pressman (known for American Psycho, The Crow, and Wall Street).

The Crow is set to hit theaters tomorrow, August 23rd.
