Edward R. Pressman Says That THE CROW Remake Is A 'Reinvention' Of The Graphic Novel

Jake Lloyd!

I honestly think, after watching drive, Ryan Gosling would be a good Crow.

i've just ordered the crow on blu-ray(us import)its running time is four minutes longer than the uk release.

It's gonna be Skrillex and they're doing a dubstep Crow. Seriously. Google it. That's what's happening.
They just decided to take the Goth out of The Crow.

After seeing 10 Things I Hate About You, I always thought that Heath Ledger would have made a great Crow character and after his Joker, that opinion was cemented. Unfortunately, he's "no longer available"

THERES SOME FILMS YOU SHOULD JUST LEAVE BE LIKE ROBOCOP, TOO LATE..THE CROW TOO LATE ...AKIRA?

As a big fan of the graphic novel at that time I remember being kinda disappointed at the Crow movie.

The comic is unforgiving and pretty intense. The movie was like Crow lite and turned the crows main character into a likable rockstar-It took away all the power, and forboding of the comic.

I felt that while Brandon Lee shined at times his voice was a little goofy. Or perhaps most likely awkward deliver can be attributed to badly written dialog of which there is plenty. But this isn't about Brandon Lee because I thought he did fantastic with the material he was given.

In the comic Eric is shooting morphine, and blowing people away left and right. He's insane over what happened to his life.


Reading the books before the movie came out you didn't really know if Eric was dead, Or a guy driven so insane with drugs and revenge, until you get to a certain point.(of course now it's common knowledge)It could all be a coma induced delusion. The people he went up against were wicked in the comic. In the film they're Death Wish 5 villans that didn't make the cut or evil guys in suits.


The movies writers and director got a whole lot wrong. Him standing around having conversations with Ernie Hudson and the whole discover of Erics weakness of destroying the bird to kill the man.Please. That's bullshit, the character in the comic was relentless; there was no way of stopping his retribution. The whole situation was a runaway frieght train. In effect, the whole nightmarish aspect of the story was watered down.


Anyway, if they're going to make this movie than they need to follow the original graphic novel sans the "extra material". We've gotten plenty of watered downed versions starting with the first film, and it's horrid sequels and tv and comic spin-offs. Do it right and then leave it be- no sequels, no tv show etc. etc.


But really it's time to move on,and stop trying to milk it with all these "different types of Crows"(And actually the character isn't called "The Crow",his name is just Eric which noone calls him after he's dead)

Well he quoted the original film. I have the original graphic novel too. So basically same characters, new setting and situation, but the main plot of returning from the dead for revenge is there.

if it's one thing James O Barr would want, it's someone remaining his personal creative outlet for the death of his fiancee.

PatientZero - HA!
DukeAcureds - please god no. how cool was the original soundtrack!

the crow's my favorite film of all time with a great soundtrack ,Cant believe there gonna [frick] it up by remaking it just leave it alone I cant imagine any other actor playing Eric even though ive thought and thought about it but know one seems to fit the part plus are they going to make it as dark as last one ,I hope so everything will be made pretty with a soundtrack by rhianna and coldplay and other shit kicking about

hey...get sting to play the crow lol

LEAVE. THIS. FILM. ALONE.

It's a bastardization to the legend before him.
