Production Stalls On THE CROW Reboot After Studio Goes Bankrupt

Ah yeah, I saw that Relativity filed for bankruptcy this week and I had no idea Huston bowed out. Well, looks like that Crow reboot isn't happening.

This franchise is cursed.

I wasn't a hater of this reboot, I don't mind a reboot if they reboot from the comic and not reboot from the movie.
But it had a pretty good cast so far!
So this is sad news

Relativity fired few days ago approximately 75 out of 350 fulltime job employees. They own like $320 mln to few companies (i think $320 mln as a whole). They are currently seeking help by talking to multimillionaires Carlos Slim Helu & Carl Icahn.

I'm genuinely not sure if I ever read good news about this movie...

It's a sign that this movie should not be remade. EVER.

Some things you just don't [frick] with. Clearly, The Crow is one of them...

Holy shit, how long have you been an editor @Minty?

@scorp

The original was shit ?





Do all cbm fans a favor



And [frick] your mouth with a spiked dildo.

This is excellent, as i feel there should NEVER be a remake to this. Alex proyas and Brandon Lee made magic with eric draven, a remake is a slap in the face.

I've been hating on this project from the get-go.
There are some movies that should never be remade and The Crow is right up there with Citizen Kane.
But these are strange times. Robocop and Ghost Busters have both been remade. I never thought that Robocop should have been remade ever and they did it and I still think that it should never have been remade ever. Having said that, I was able to enjoy the new version, ever so slightly.
And GhostBusters? Well, it seems far enough away from the original and I'm just glad that they have finally got SOMEthing off the ground for that franchise. Also, the whole thing was my idea, despite what Paul Feig might tell you.

But The Crow? No way, man, that is where I draw the line.

At least until I saw this video, a few weeks back:



And then I kinda did a 180 on the whole thing.
Also, after Oblivion and Birdman, I love Andrea Riseborough and the idea of her playing Top Dollar seperates the project far away enough from the film and the comic.
So I'm really kind of ambivalent about the whole thing, now.
In a good way.
If it doesn't get made ever, then that is a good thing.
If it does get made and it's like J.O. Barr described it, in the above video, that is also a good thing.
If someone with a lot of money comes along and makes it with no respect for the comics or the original film, then... well that would be a bad thing. A very fvcking bad thing indeed.

@Kyos This IS good news! Didn't you read it? Production stalled!!!

Congrats, buddy
