I hope they get Sean Connery to play the lead! You know, his career can come back from the dead and fight crime ...

Troy Stiffler

Meh'. Supposively the Eddie Furlong Crow was going to go back to it's 'roots'. But it was just an average, watchable direct-to-video quality flick. Nothing special.

They might be able to do something good with this. But I won't be too excited till I get a killer trailer or something.

Whatever you do: DON'T CAST DAVID BOREANAZ. Thanks much.

RyoHazuki

Crow isn't even close to perfect and I wouldn't mind seeing it remade.

That said, you might as well just not do it if you're gonna hire Norrington.

Michael Corvin

'Wicked' had some decent ideas but the casting and budget totally killed it. Tara Reid? Come on.

Pass.

Then this thread will really piss you off.

I hope that when they start filming this movie and the director goes "ACTION!" he gets shot in the head.

Filming starts in the summer.

^ From that article:

Thank God, I'm in for this one since it leave's the Eric Draven character alone. I loved Norrington's Blade so I'm excited to see what he does with this.

So it's basically a sequel in name only sort of deal rather than a reboot. Like all the other Crow sequels (except for City Of Angels).

devilshalo

So will this feature the Skull Cowboy?

Maxflier

Sounds like this is no more of a reboot than City of Angels or any of the other Crow movies were.

RocShemp

I dunno if he was more in the later comics but Skull Cowboy was only in like two panels of the original book. He wasn't even an actual character. He simply represented Eric's anger and grief.

The screenwriters of the first movie were the ones who made him into an actual character.

As long as it's better than anything they did after the original, I don't mind. It sounds like this is another "The Final Destination" in that, it's a sequel (technically) that can also serve as a refresher for the series.

Groucho

Surprised to see the love for the first movie. It was mediocre at best, even considering the presence of Black Ghostbuster.

Josh-da-man

Yeah, I've read the David Schow script and the Skull Cowboy features prominently in it. He's not really a character as such, more a storytelling device that was put in to explain "The Crow's" abilities, limitations, and mission to Eric (and the audience).

Not a huge loss from a storytelling perspective.

Drav3n

ive been dreading this for years, and cringed when i heard about this remake several years ago. Atleast they are staying away from the eric draven character. it sounds more like just another movie utilizing the name of the crow instead of a reboot, imo.

devilshalo

I wouldn't mind an origin story. Is there an origin story?

Hokeyboy

The original is one of the most cliched, overpraised movies of its time. If it wasn't for Brandon Lee's death, it would be a 3am USA Channel movie, at BEST.

"The Crow" was a big-budget remake of the 1986 Charlie Sheen vehicle "The Wraith", when you get right down to it. And "The Wraith" was better.

devilshalo

Hmm... Sherilyn Fenn.... Sofia Shinas... yeah, I see your point there.

Josh-da-man

It was one of my favorite films when I was a teenager, but it hasn't aged well at all. The art design on it's still pretty cool, but I find myself cringing whenever someone opens their mouth. The dialog is just so... arch and self-righteous and pompous and stilted... It's like George Lucas and Stephenie Meyer ghost wrote it.

Solid Snake

Some nice imagery by some I mean very few...but c'mon. It was mediocre to me too. As a kid I was like...cool makeup but...i'm not interested at all.

cartman

I'm getting tired of studios calling remakes "reboots" or "reinventions" just to make it sound nicer.

valkyrie

Apparently it sounds better than "total lack of creativity and imagination."
