Here's a curveball that threw me for a loop, and until you rewatch the original don't get your panties in a bunch. Today action star Jason Statham revealed that there is talk of a remake to the James O'Barr comic adaptation, The Crow, and that if anyone ever came to him he'd do it. You can read all about it inside. Brandon Lee starred in the original and died on set during filming. The film has since then become a cult classic among horror fans.
"You know, there's talk of them redoing THE CROW. That was a good movie with Brandon Lee, although that was years ago. So if that one comes my way, bang! You know, there's so many comic book movies out there and most of the time there's only a handful of people who can do them any justice. Hopefully, they'll come my way for one of them."
Brandon Lee played Eric Draven, a young rock guitarist who, along with his fiancee, is brutally killed by a ruthless gang of criminals. Exactly one year after his death, Eric returns -- watched over by a hypnotic crow -- to seek revenge, battling the evil crime lord and his band of urban thugs, who must answer for their crimes.
I like Jason Statham, but I don't think he would be a good Crow. Whatever though. After reading that article however, I was thinking...Crank 2? The end of that movie he is plumeting to his death. How the hell can he survive a fall from 30K feet?
He doesn't survive. Yes he blinks but he dies. And The Crow doesn't need to be remade, no more shit sequels need to be made. The first one was great, Brandon was great. The rest did nothing for me though.
The original Crow is my 2nd favorite movie next to The Lost Boys and I personally wouldn't want to see it remade at all. I have all 4 movies and the weakest one to me was Salvation, but I'd still love to see more sequels. We still need to see a female crow as well. At one point there were rumors flying around about Zombie making a Crow sequel, but that never happened. If a sequel is in fact made they should make a great sequel, which we can actually see in theaters. Zombie would still be my first choice to make it or maybe even Burton.
statham is a piece of shit! He cant carry a movie for shit.. bad actor.. all his movies tank at the box office not to mention he could not be the crow! not a snowballs chance in hell! get him the fuck outta hollywood!
Statham kicks serious ass. If you don't like him and you're a guy, you're gay. If you don't like him and you're a chick? You're a dyke. You gotta love Statham. The Crow? I dunno I'd have to see a change in the appearance that would work. Also, Salvation, the weakest sequel? Did you see Wicked Prayer? With your eyes open? Godamn that was The Crow at his absolute worst.
i dont know based on his looks, he is not a good actor and reminds me alittel like a jean-cluade, not that tahst is a bad things, its just there both good actors in a chessy action movie way. Anyway i dont think he has what it takes. Get... well hell this is hard. I hate to say it but heath would have been perfect, but gods had other plans for him so i just really dont know
I dunno man,he usually only does kung-fu sorta sh*t,"The crow" is first and foremost a LOVE story,and i dont thinkit would work with a limey dude turning it into a chop sockey action flick.....gay as* wire stunts and slow motion martial arts aint gonna fuc*in cut it,people,so just shut the fu*k up before it gets ruined.....
Are they INSANE??? The Crow is cult classic and one of my all time favorite movie...i'm pretty damn tired hearing all these talk of those damn remakes. THE CROW DOESNT NEED A REMAKE leave it be and no one could play Eric Draven like Brandon Lee did.....The Crow Salvation weakest sequel?? damn its probably the most decent of all 3 sequels.
it wont be long before theres just one fucking movie in hollywood that gets remade 5 times a year in various formats and it will be the law to watch it.
its shit like this that makes me glad i live in a cave on the moors...dont come looking for me hollywood, i have sharpened bones
the only way this is ok is if they make a movie totally based on the comic. Horse flashbacks and all. But they won't Hollywood doesn't understand poetic.
jason statham as the crow u gotta be kiddin me the first film will always be a cult classic and no-one could play the role better than brandon lee (rip) so why bother remakin it
I Really hope that this is a joke. I've got nothing against Statham as an actor, but seriously, The Crow? A remake even? Please. If the word got out there was going to be an official remake of "The Crow" the fans would have a shit fit.
Could you imagine thousands of 13-16yr old goth kids picketing outside of the studio over a remake?
what's with all these remakes these days? I pitty the youth of today, cos over ten to twenty years all their 'classics' will be crappy remakes based on our classic movies made ten years earlier. not to mention the fact that I hate it that I have to keep reminding people I'm talking about the real Halloween, Fog, Texas Chainsaw, Hitcher, Hills have eyes etc etc.
