Michael Corvin

It is a Crow reference. The teaser for City of Angels featured the crow flying into a graveyard and sitting on a headstone. The camera panned down to reveal the name of the next "chosen one." Michael Corvin. The name was changed during production to Ashe Corven. They wanted a four letter name to go along with Eric Draven from the first film(lame). This is the only instance where Michael Corvin is used in the franchise, therefore not commonly taken on message boards, unlike Draven.

Michael Corvin has nothing to do with the character from Underworld which came years later. I think they had the same idea as me and were inspired by the Crow teaser and was their little nod to the franchise since they had a whole Crow meets Matrix vibe going on.

Favorite Game: probably Resident Evil 4. I gave up gaming for a while because I told people I would if RE4 lived up to the insane level of hype I had given it(because if it did, I had no reason to get another game again). God of War snapped me out of that mindset...

Something About You We Don't Know: Aside from gaming and movies, my hobbies I somehow fit into my full-time schedule and budget are Filmmaking(two shorts I hope to finish re-editing in time for horror festivals this year, plus a comedy I'm in pre-production on and expecting to film in April), Jeeps(building up a Cherokee and a CJ5, soon enough a 1998 Grand Cherokee 5.9), woodworking, weightlifting, and occasionally writing down game concepts(I would love to get into game design, but I gave up programming years ago to get my degree in film, and just don't know if I could get into programming again). I am also an avid bowler and fully expect to be playing on the PBA Tour within a year.
