The Crow.

They will be making a remake, and why? I couldn't tell you..I'm excited, but at the same time think that the original is/was a classic.

I don' know why they do remakes ?

never seems to make sense.



It always feels to me if people are running out of ideas.


What next.......A Back to the Future remake ?



If a films a classic........leave it at that

"When was the last time you've seen The Crow, Dimension Films' adaptation of the incredible comic book created by James O'Barr? Sure it only came out 14 years ago (holy crap time flies), but as shocking as it might sound, this Brandon Lee thriller is already extremely dated (in my humble opinion). Should it be remade? Probably not, but there's nothing we can do about it, so it's time to get over it and read on for the details (nothing surprises me anymore) and to see what the exact visual plans are for this remake. Tell us all what you think by commenting below, good or bad remake idea?

THE CROW will fly again as Stephen Norrington, who directed "Blade", has signed on to write and direct a reinvention of “The Crow,” based on the comic created by James O’Barr.

Ryan Kavanaugh’s Relativity Media is negotiating with producer Ed Pressman to acquire the film franchise and finance the film.

Pressman produced the 1994 Alex Proyas-directed screen transfer, in which rock musician Eric Draven is murdered trying to rescue his girlfriend from thugs, and returns from the dead one year later to exact vengeance. Though the original became a gothic-style hit that grossed nearly $100 million worldwide, it is primarily remembered for a tragic accident in which star Brandon Lee was killed during filming.

For Norrington, “The Crow” deal marks the end of a long screen sabbatical. After making his breakthrough with the Marvel Comics hero “Blade,” Norrington took on a big-budget comic transfer with “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.” Neither the director nor his star, Sean Connery, has made a film since.

Norrington said he felt demoralized by that experience, and the accomplished sculptor spent the next five years writing and working on his art. He made a deal to direct “Clash of the Titans” for Warner Bros., but left the project, he said, because he was “unable to excite Warner Bros. with my take, or influence the screenplay to any comfortable extent.” That pic goes into production early next year with Louis Leterrier at the helm.

Norrington resolved to focus on independent projects, and sparked to an approach on “The Crow” from Relativity production chief Tucker Tooley and Pressman. Norrington had a relationship with Pressman when they came close to making “Mutant Chronicles” several years ago. Both embraced Norrington’s vision of the antihero, which Norrington said will be different than the film Proyas made.

“Whereas Proyas’ original was gloriously gothic and stylized, the new movie will be realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary-style,” Norrington told Daily Variety."

I've said it before, I'll say it again, the crow sucked, it always sucked, it was never good, and Brandon Lee is an incredible hack compared to his father. The only reason that low budget horrid piece of crap received theater treatment instead of going STV was because of his death, and it certainly didn't help the film any.

I hope a remake gets made, and it makes crow fans across the world cry.

There is a crow worprint around that has a running time of 121mins which is 19 mins longer than any dvd out.

Saying that i have the apocalypse now workprint here and that is a 5hr workprint with loads of stuff not on the original or the re edit version, also got the punisher workprint (1989 version) which has an extra 10 mins which explains the stroy a bit better with his family etc

As for brandon lee i thought he was a good actor and liked his films
Rapid fire
Showdown in little toyko and 1 or 2 others i cant think off the top of my head.
If you put him next to his dad then no he wasn't as good but as a actor on his own yeh i thought he was pretty good in my opinion
