[quote]The Crow relaunch is taking off, and may be months away from a greenlight. We caught up with the movie's producer and found out exactly where the film is in the casting process, and asked the all-important makeup questions.
While he was doing press for drama Brothers we caught up with producer Ryan Kavanaugh and got an exclusive update on his next project, the massive relaunch of The Crow, penned and directed by Stephen Norrington.
--------------------------
[b]I heard The Crow script received great reviews, where is it at now?[/b]
The script is great. We're very excited about it. The Crow is definitely going to happen, we're just getting all the pieces together right now. It's not officially greenlit, but it's going to happen... I think in a couple months we could have the package together for sure.
[b]Any casting ideas?[/b]
Can't talk about that yet, but we've got good ideas.
[b]Are you casting right now and looking?[/b]
We're looking. We're in discussions....I think it's something cool, we're approaching it differently. It's really a whole relaunch of the franchise, much more of a dark superhero type.
[b]Will it be a well known actor, or someone we've never heard of before?[/b]
It will be an actor you've heard of, yes. We're not ruling anything out. We're looking at both, with the very well known and the "very talented but they may not be quite there yet."
[b]A lot of people were worried that it would be the original, but we know the Crow character can inhabit different people...[/b]
It's not a remake it's literally a relaunch of the franchise.
[b]But will he have the same makeup?[/b]
No, totally different... He'll have makeup, but it will be different. The best way to compare it is the first Batman and Batman Begins. In terms of their look and feel and character.
[b]I'm excited to see the world and how you build it. Will it still be dark and gritty?[/b]
Oh yeah, we're sticking to the flavor of it. We're just relaunching it and making it with a much more present day character, someone more relatable to everybody.
[b]And the script is totally finished?[/b]
Yeah we're still tweaking it, but it's finished.[/quote]

One of my all-time favorite movies is now target of Hollywood's franchise milking machine... it was just a matter of time until they thought about "the crow" again... FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF--
Not a huge difference.

The director says the Crow is going to look different than those Brandon pics...
And I seriously hope they can bring something new to the franchise, [i]ala[/i] Batman: Begins and TDK. I really don't want Hollywood fat cats to fuck it up... :/
The Crow has always been a faggot.

Has there ever been a good crow movie? No there hasn't.

The first Crow was fine
^
why is The Crow already being relaunched, the first film only came out in 1994

Why, it's 10 years overdue!
Because Americans have no original ideas?

I didn't know that. I actually enjoyed the 1st Blade movie... my expectations have been raised
[QUOTE=Vladimir Lenin;18545203]Has there ever been a good crow movie? No there hasn't.[/QUOTE]
The first one is fantastic, and one of my all-time favorites.
The 2nd one was inferior to the first one, but it was good. 7/10.
The rest is shit.

I didn't even know they made a 4th one! And for what I've read so far it's _Amazingly_ bad :S...
I just hope they don't butcher this franchise...
reminds me of the Joker

The actor does look a bit like Heath Ledger...
(I actually mistook that actor of him and supposed that was why it was getting a relaunch of some sort)
Brandon Lee was the only one that could play The Crow well.
i didn't even know there were any besides the first one lol
I never saw The Crow and didn't know about any sequels. I've heard they're extremely emo though and not really worth watching.
Opinions?

'The Crow' was the only one worth watching, the others are terrible.
I thought the first was pretty good, not worth cult movie status. I think it's just riding on Brandon Lee's coffin.
Clone the son of Bruce Lee.
Yeah, let's make The Crow generic and homogenized so everyone can relate to him. Great idea.
I didn't know Jim Morrison killed people.
