Talk About Beating A Dead Bird

According to Variety, “The Crow” will be remade. Personally, I think this is a big mistake. The original movie with Brandon Lee was a great film and belongs in the list of movies that should never be remade (Godfather I & II, Empire Strikes Back, and most of the Brat Pack movies from the ’80s also fall on this list). I didn’t think too much of the TV series or any of the movies that followed, but unlike most people, I do know that the movies that followed weren’t meant to be true sequels. There are people that think that if Brandon Lee hadn’t died, the sequels would’ve had him in it. That is not true. The comic books which the movies are based on each have their own “Crow”.

“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 seen all the other movies and even have them all on DVD, so I’m sure I’ll see this one but I may just wait until it shows up on Netflix.
