Not to be Confused With: Rob Zombie of the musical group White Zombie was at one time attached to both write and direct the third Crow movie, which was variously known as The Crow: The World of Gods and Monsters (which of course, is not to be confused with Gods and Monsters), and then later as Black Rider X. (Note: it's been reported that it's possible that Zombie may indeed film his script as Black Rider X someday without the connection to the The Crow).
Based upon: This is the third in this series of movies about men who rise from the dead in as superpowered heroes of vengeance and justice. The first two were The Crow and The Crow: City of Angels. There is also a TV show now called The Crow: Stairway to Heaven. The character of The Crow first appeared in a graphic novel by James O'Barr.
Premise: This time around, another wronged man named Alex Corvis (Mabius) rises from the dead, and there is also a young girl (Dunst) who seeks his help in solving the murder of her sister, for which he was wrongly convicted and executed.
