Anytime one of these Hollywood weasels uses the words 'reinvent', or 'reimagined', I tend to run away from their project as far and as fast as I can.
Stephen Norrington to reinvent "The Crow"
- Thread starter JacksonArcher
- Start date
The movie is perfect as it is, don't fucking touch it. It's my favorite movie of all time.
Speaking of more Norrington shittiness, who was that guy on the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen commentary with the lisp who wouldn't shut the fuck up the entire time. I still want to punch him in the mouth.

^The problem with "Blade IV" would be that Wesley Snipes is serving a prison sentence for tax evasion. (Which still makes him slightly easier to get than Brandon Lee.)
One thing I've always wondered about "The Crow" is how much of its popularity & B.O. was inflated by the added press surrounding Brandon Lee's death on set?
I'm with everyone else who just doesn't see the point of remaking the movie. The original was fine as is. What more is there to say? For crow's sake, it's not even been 2 whole decades since it came out!
I've seen 2 of the sequels. "City of Angels" didn't do anything for me. "Wicked Prayer" was crap. I only saw it because of David Boreanaz anyway.

To me, The Crow franchise is similar to the Highlander franchise--the first film was great and then it went downhill from there.
I do think the main drive behind this reinvention of The Crow (aside from trying to duplicate/capitalize on the success of the original) is to make it something very stylish, artsy, and literally so dark that most people can't tell what the hell is happening onscreen.
Either that or they're trying to make "The Crow Begins"

Premise: Guy comes back from the dead and kills his and fiance's killers.
Director: We're going to strip out all the magical and fantasy parts.
I have to say, the first crow movie was really good. The third was also; indeed very good. I almost say it's better than the first.
The second and fourth were abysmal though, and it seems that's where we're heading with this one as well.
The original Crow was on MTV the other night (which I started a thread about which no one obviously cared to read) and I was thinking, "Man, this idea could use some updating."
I think this has potential, but I don't know about Norrington...I mean, I love the original Blade, and I think O'Barr's original story (car breaks down, rape and murder happens, Draven returns) could stand a film treatment without the comic book tropes used in Proyas' version...but damn...another remake?

The first Crow was perfect. It dont need to be remade.
