Remaking The Crow...

I really don't know how I feel about this... The Crow is one of my top 10 movies of all time. Brandon Lee seemed to embody what the character truly was... a lost soul, searching for revenge. Stephen Norrington (director of Blade) has said he has a new take on the character. I don't know about that at all. The 1994 Crow movie was very gripping, yet comic relief played a role in Lee's sarcastic vengeful spirit. Jason Statham is rumored to be interested in doing the role, but that is not final. He's a fair action actor, but I don't know if he's suited for the role of Eric. This thing is all over the web. I have seen it on at least a dozen sites. They all say the same thing and have about the same information. There's no set date for production, cast, or release date as of this writing, but you can rest assured that I will keep a close eye on this movie with high expectations and curiosity. There's a video of the trailer for the original The Crow at the end of this post... check it out!

Here's a brief look at what Norrington's take is on the character Eric... It will have to be a wait and see on this one...
From IMBd, The Internet Movie Database...
His approach won’t be the Gothic style Alex Proyas used to such good effect in the 1994 original, but rather a ”realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary-style” film. That’s a little bit odd, as the Gothic style really worked for the story of a murdered rock star who comes back for revenge one year after his death, but Norrington seems pretty confident in his vision.
