Considering it's a film about resurrection, the choice of Stephen Norrington -- who Variety reports has signed on for directing duties -- is fitting. While his first film, Blade, is a pretty good action pic, and is reminiscent of The Crow's dark visual style, his second feature, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, effectively destroyed his career. :lmfao: :lmfao:

The Crow sucked anyway, so this just gives me more to laugh at. :lmfao:

I actually enjoyed the first crow. Not because of the Acting but maybe just the idea. I read the comic first. I think its kind of a bad idea to do a remake.

Kind of dishonors Brandon Lee a little...

[4dmin]

movies like this should be give to rob zombie to redo - he can make anything brutal ;)

gay......this movie should never be remade.if so,mid as well remake Pulp Fiction:rolleyes:

[Ran]

Kind of dishonors Brandon Lee a little...Killing a role due to the death of an actor is retarded IMO. I hope the next Batman still has the Joker in it, despite Heath's death. Heath Ledger is NOT the Joker. He is an actor and a person. If they die, then find a replacement. That's my take on it.

[stillaneon]

I agree on the joker but the Crow isn't specifically Brandon lee. There were three different roles for that and each one had its own story line. I just don't like the idea of trying to replace someone who ended up losing their life to a role.

The joker is an ongoing character, he will have to be replaced eventually. But The Crow shouldn't be replaced. maybe just a different story line if that makes sense?

x2 donnie,it doesnt have to be eric draven to be a crow movie

Didn't they replace him in Crow 2 anyways?

[OneSlow5pt0]

no crow:city of angels was Ashe Corven

[auxiliary]

Actually talking about this....

I know a producer that use to work for one of the big movie agencies and he said that there are teams of people that just go through their old movies and see which ones would make good remakes. Like which ones would be better with current actors, or would be better with current CGI and things like that.

It think they need to leave this movie alone. A remake of this is going to just flop. The Crow is not a very well know comic to begin with. Compare to Marvel and DC mainstream. May be if it was done like sin city or something, It would be ok. But still everyone going to have the first one in mind espically since Brandon Lee got shot during it. IT just going to be a big mess.

[Ran]

yea,but whatever happen to movies being art? now its anyway they can make money,hence all the damn remakes.300 wasn't a remake and it was pretty artful. Same thing for Sin City, even though I thought it was garbage. There are still good artful movies around. :)

[OneSlow5pt0]

dont talk shit about brandon lee...........



On March 31, 1993, while making The Crow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crow_(film)), the crew filmed a scene in which Lee's character walked into his apartment and discovered his girlfriend being raped (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape) by thugs. Actor Michael Massee (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Massee), who played one of the film's villains (Fun-boy), was supposed to fire a gun at Eric Draven (Brandon Lee) as he walked into his apartment. The director and producers then replaced that scene with Tin-tin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tin-tin) throwing the knife at Eric's chest as he entered the apartment.

Because the movie's second unit (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_unit) team was running behind schedule, it was decided that dummy cartridges (cartridges (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartridge_(firearms)) that outwardly appear to be functional but contain no gunpowder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunpowder) or primer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percussion_cap)) would be made from real cartridges by pulling out the bullet, dumping out the gunpowder and reinserting the bullet. However, the team neglected to consider that the primer was still live and, if fired, could still produce enough force to push the bullet off the end of the cartridge. At some point prior to the fatal scene, the live primer on one of the constructed dummy rounds was discharged by persons unknown while in the pistol's chamber. It caused a squib load (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squib_load), in which the primer provided just enough force to push the bullet out of the cartridge and into the barrel of the revolver, where it became stuck.

The malfunction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malfunction) went unnoticed by the crew, and the same gun was used again later to shoot the death scene, having been re-loaded with low-power black powder (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_powder) blanks. However, the squib load was still lodged in the barrel, and was propelled by the blank cartridge's explosion out of the barrel and into Lee's body. Although the bullet was traveling much slower than a normally fired bullet would be, the bullet's large size and the point-blank firing distance made it powerful enough to fatally wound Lee.

When the blank was fired, the bullet shot out and hit Lee in the abdomen and lodged in his spine. He fell down instantly and the director shouted "Cut! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cut_(filmmaking))." When Lee did not respond, the cast and crew rushed to him and found that he was wounded. He was immediately rushed to the hospital. Lee’s heart stopped once on the set and once in the ambulance. Following a six hour operation to remove the bullet, and despite being given 60 pints of blood, Lee was pronounced dead at 1:03 pm on March 31, 1993.

Brandon's body was flown to Jacksonville, North Carolina, where an autopsy was performed. He was then flown to Seattle, Washington, where he was buried next to his father at Lake View cemetery, a cemetery plot that Linda Lee Cadwell had originally reserved for herself.

The private funeral took place in Seattle, Washington, on April 3, 1993. Only close family and friends were permitted to attend, including Brandon's immediate family as well as Eliza's parents and younger sister, who flew in from Missouri. The following day, 250 of Brandon's family, friends and business associates attended a memorial service in Los Angeles, held at the house of actress Polly Bergen, with whom Lee had regularly played backgammon.

The gravestone, designed by North Snohomish County sculptor Kirk McLean, is a tribute to Brandon and Eliza's young love. Its two twisting rectangles of charcoal granite join at the bottom and pull apart at the top. "It represents Eliza and Brandon, the two of them, and how the tragedy of his death separated their mortal life together," said his mother, Linda Lee Cadwell, who described son, like father, as a poetic and romantic person. [3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandon_Lee#cite_note-2)

The shooting was ruled an accident. The theory of the Lee "family curse" was also carried over from Bruce Lee's death to Brandon's; he had died almost 20 years after his father and before the release of the film which could have been his breakthrough to stardom.

brandon lee actually died when making that movie.Old news.


dont talk shit about brandon lee...........Why not? He was an actor that died from an accident. Sucks, but oh well. We're free to make cracks about him just like we crack about Heath Ledger. He's not special. I swear to God, you people get upset about the smallest things.

[stephanie]

I said that in my "tourettes guy"voice.......

The south park where satan had the halloween party and said no one was allowed to be the crow was hilarious.
