Blade Director To Helm Crow Remake
Filed under: Film Flickers
The Crow is going to be resurrected for the big screen!
The 1994 flick based on the graphic novel by James O'Barr grossed $100 million globally, but is most known for the on-set death of actor Brandon Lee.
Blade director Stephen Norrington is set to direct the remake, resurrecting his directing career after 2003's League of Extraordinary Gentlemen left him "demoralized."
While the '94 version was dramatically gothic and stylized, Norrington says, "The new movie will be realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary-style."
Will U go see it?

oh my godhdgdqoysgco
No, it sucked!
Of course I will see it…
Hell No.
The original is the one and only.
awe WHAT fuck that! The movie doesn't need to be remade and it's not even that old, isn't it way too early for a remake?
Why does Perez keep asking if people are going to see something we haven't seen a trailer for?
.
Hey Perez, they're making a remake of My Little Pony starting you. Are you going to go see it?
I meant STARING you, not starting you.
sweet! this will be good!!!
I'm gonna bitch slap the next fucker who remakes a film/musical/book.
The first one is one of my favorites.
It pisses me off when they try and remake a good movie. Are they just completely out of ideas?
its a cult favorite.
they should leave it alone..
bad enough they made sequels
to the orginal
This movie doesn't need a remake…….
WHYYYYY? WHY must they remake EVERYTHING? the remake is NEVER as good as the original. sacrilege. lazy, money grubbing fucks.
Seriously, where are the original screenwriters?!?! What is with all the ridiculous remakes?!?!?! The Crow is a cult favorite (ditto) leave it alone and yes the sequels were George W. Bush awful!!!!
YES!
I hope they'll leave that pu$$y, William Furlong, out of it.
why remake something that means a lot to people? i love the movie!!!!!!! and brandon lee was extraordinary in the flick!!!!!!!!
it breaks my heart to hear they are going to remake it! the movie holds a special place in my heart and it will sadden me that they are in a way trying to "replace" the original!
has Hollywood not learned their lesson in trying to do remakes!!?!?!?!? they are hard learners!!!!!!!!!!
League of Extraordinary Gentlemen was an amazing movie. so, u can stfu
Oops, I mean Edward Furlong (The Crow: Wicked Prayer).
No! It's a cult classic that shouldn't be touched. God I wush people would just come up with their own story lines
lame! why can't they think of something new instead of remaking shit.
please dont degrade the original with a remake…
FUCK NO! FUCK YOU Stephen Norrington! That movie means alot to hardcore Brandon Lee fans. Touching it would be like trying to redo the Bible! YOU CAN'T FUCK WITH SOMETHING that millions of people loved and see as a tribute to Brandon Lee. It was his fucking last film! HE DIED MAKING IT! FUCK YOU Stephen Norrington! AND FUCK EVERYONE WHO DIDn'T LIKE THE CROW! FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU! DO NOT TOUCH THAT FILM YOU FUCKTARDS!
Besides, they already did like 3 or 4 sequels!
FUCK YOU!
I loved "The Crow" … especially the tribute at the end to Brandon Lee. The original movie holds a special place in my heart. No, I won't be going to see the
"remake." I suggest they leave things alone!
if i was going to play the lead actor i would ask for ALOT of money, this movie is haunted
I think I speak for all the DIEHARD Crow fans…Please Don't touch the Original it's a classic and it would be a slap to Brandon Lee's memory to remake his last piece of work. He will always be "Eric Draven" to us
WTF? Why would someone remake a 14 year old movie? I thought they had the good drugs in Hollywood-what happened to an original idea?
Re: Funzo – Bwahahahahahhaha. Me loves.
No I won't watch it. Why mess up a Brandon Lee classic. Come up with some new ideas and stop with the remakes already!!!
THIS IS B U L L S H I T . BULLSHIT!! Heresy! Why the fuck remake something so perfect?
———-THIS IS O F F E N S I VE.———-
do not remake it! it is a cult classic and no other crow movie or series will ever take its place! rip brandon lee!
Definitely not…that's like a slap in the face to Brandon Lee. He is the one and only Crow.
What the hell is with Hollywood slaughtering already perfect movies? My fair Lady?? THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW?!?!!?!??! And now the Crow? What the fuck.
Re: katykat12 –
Yeah, I don't get what is with everyone saying the League sucked….It was great…and sean Connery makes it awesome.
Even though I love the original, I will probably see this.
Why why why!!!why ruin a classic movie like this. leave it alone.
I don't think they should make a remake of this movie. This will always be a classic, no remake will ever top it and nobody will be able to top Brandon Lee's performance as the crow.
yes
NO. WTF is up with all of these lame ass remakes?!
Is this a movie or something else?
Is this a movie or something else?
Hi , I am a sexy 19 Canadian girl.
I want to make friends with hot interracial guys~
Go to ____www.mixedloving.com __, and find me : Kylina8906 I am very hot. Totally free
they should leave it be the original was amazing
Absolutely not. Brandon Lee made it perfect. Making it again will destroy it's cult status and it's a slap to Lee's spirit.
Nope. Why go pay to see a remake? The original is where it's at. You can not improve on perfection. What the hell is up with hollywood that they keep remaking things and in the process, ruining them? Are they out of fresh ideas? Sounds like it's time to hire fresh blood, with new ideas. Stop trying to cash in on whats already been done.
Re: baba booey – #8 I see you've been taking your la-la-la happy pills today. Nice job!
Why cant anyone come up with any new classics? WHAT THE FUCK? They just keep recycling the same shit its about time they keep hiring celeb retard no talent losers and start looking around for real.
I liked the 94 version and i don't think the remake is going to be that great. Remakes turn out to suck anyway, y do it?
BAD IDEA Boooooooo
SACRILAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SACRILAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SACRILAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SACRILAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SACRILAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE WOE-IS-ME, MOMMY AND DADDY WERE MEAN TO ME ATTENTION SEEKING CUTTERS ARE GONNA ALL RUN TO SEE IT.
God I hate this fucking movie with a passion. Why remake this crap? All the little wanna be punk/goth kids are probably going to go watch it, cry, and then cut their wrists and arms, buy Hot Topic arm bands to cover it but at the same time make it obvious so that can get attention from strangers.
Come up with better movie ideas, Christ!
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT? WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You CANNOT remake this movie. Brandon Lee is a fucking LEGEND, you just can't redo that shit. That movie is absolutely perfect. It does NOT need to be remade. Are these people fucking serious? They are going to ruin Lee's memory. Brandon practically died for that movie…how could they remake it?
Hell No!!! AND it WAS on the big screen!!! I think the idea of how its going to be remade is BULLSHIT!!! It doesnt need to be remade at all. I think its a stupid idea. I will not see it! Someone need to stop these idiots from remaking everything!!!!!
Noooooo!! Brandon Lee and the original are the ONLY way to go. Such a smack in the face to remake it…
Will I go see it?! Fuck Yeah! As long as it's actually good, like teen-goth doom movies used to be back in 1994…
Ugh. WTF.
WTF???? These people are mental re-making "The Crow". That movie is a classic.
I'm so sick of Hollywood. They are such damned idiots.
Re: ZooeyDeschanelLuv – i want to kiss you! i couldn't have said it better. . . so i'm going to repost your answer: (ahem)
FUCK NO! FUCK YOU Stephen Norrington! That movie means alot to hardcore Brandon Lee fans. Touching it would be like trying to redo the Bible! YOU CAN'T FUCK WITH SOMETHING that millions of people loved and see as a tribute to Brandon Lee. It was his fucking last film! HE DIED MAKING IT! FUCK YOU Stephen Norrington! AND FUCK EVERYONE WHO DIDn'T LIKE THE CROW! FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU! DO NOT TOUCH THAT FILM YOU FUCKTARDS!
Besides, they already did like 3 or 4 sequels!
FUCK YOU!
(thank you, zooey!)
What the f**k is wrong with Hollywood. Quit f**king with great movies and pull your head out of your ass and come up with an original idea! The Crow is an amazing movie and a wonderful goodbye to Brandon Lee. Leave it alone. It's bad enough they're remaking Clue and Footloose with Zach "I wear more make-up than my girlfriend" Ephron. Leave The Crow alone!!!
No. F**k you, Stephen Norrington, and the horse you rode in on. You will only ruin what was and still is a vital piece of so many people's childhoods.
No, why bother. Bradon Lee was the best, nothing will compare to his version.
FUCK KEEP THE LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN/BLADE GUY AWAY. *Signs the cross*
He deserves a fuck in the ear if he messes with the crow. A good, hard, long, bloody screw in the canal.
Re: katykat12 – yeah. It sucked. Hard.
Sure will not, The Crow was the best no remake needed. Stupid Corporate America Trying to make a buck I hope it fails.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Why the hell would they go and do that!!
This is the year where hollywood has run of ideas and there gonna remake every fuckin thing they can think of from old movies to books and shows seriously are we running out of ideas LEAVE SHIT ALONE
"The new movie will be realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary-style."
Fuck you.
cause the first one was such a huge success right?
no, No, NO!
.
They better make sure no body gets shot for real in this one…. and "documentary style"… wtf?
I agree with most of the other posters - there is no need to remake The Crow, it's a classic… Is there anyone in Hollywood who'd work on the new set, given what happened on the original?
Ugh!! I'm disgusted. Brandon Lee owns this movie. It holds a special place in many people's hearts, including mine, because of the actors, the story, the mood, the emotions. It was bad enough to have the sequels and the series afterwards, molesting the whole idea over and over. And now they have to do a remake of it? Could it be any more insulting? It's just one of those masterpieces you just don't touch. Like that remake could ever be any better! You sure as hell won't convince me.
Re: Kim_NZ –
You echo my sentiments EXACTLY.
…And the "Blade" director!!??… no, NO, NOOOOOO
That's just all kinds of WRONG
Re: MeloYelo1984 – No one is forcing you to see the new movie lol.
No but in all seriousness, unoriginality is seriously becoming a problem in Hollywood. Can't a book [series] exist without becoming films? Can't a movie exist without it being remade or made into a musical or play or TV series. I used to not care about shit like this, but it's REALLY getting old and making this decade/generation so much more annoying.
Nooooooooooooooooo !
Please not a new sequel, remake, whatever.
The first one was amazing and is actually one of my favorites movies.
The others were shiteous !
Rolly, a french fan of the crow and Brandon Lee.
NO !! Uncreative people should leave the classics alone cos they always but always eff them them up on remakes.
someone please stop him!!!!!!!!! this movie needs to just be left alone.
rip brandon lee
FOR FUCK SAKES.
Why would you remake this? The original was brilliant!!
I will NOT see this remake. The original with Brandon Lee, is the one and only. Why do directors and everyone else have to f%ck with movies that are already great? It does not need to be remade!!!
No, But I just hope everyone realizes there dealing with a curse.. Stunt men have died during fimling of the sequals, even the single season of the tv show 'Stairway To Heaven' (98-99 season) lost two stunt men.
He could NEVER BE UGLY!!!!
all of those movies suck the big one….
.
why waste your money remaking a dud….
Re: Kate27 – cant you read….
.
it made 100 million…..
.
Is this Tina???
OMG!!! NOOOOOO!!!!! This is my Fave movie of ALL TIME and they are going to royally screw it up! Leave a classic alone!!! This movie should NOT be remade!
Yup, what a stupid idea this is. And not only are they going to do a shitty remake, but the last movie this director made was Extraordinary Gentlemen?
Shit, what are these people smokin'? It defintely isn't the good stuff!
depends on the cast…
Bah!
Leave it alone!
Normally I'd say fuck yeah I'm going to see it, because I love me some remakes but The Crow?
Some movies just shouldn't be remade.
The Crow was a really good movie. Remaking it now is just kinda pointless.
Actually Brandon Lee died on the set of the movie he was working on AFTER the Crow. And this remake shouldn't happen, it's going to ruin the original just like all of the shitty sequels have.
PLEASE DON'T!!! I LOVE the original, don't ruin it.
WHAT THE FUCK???? IS THERE NOTHING ELSE FOR HOLLYWOOD TO DO NOW BUT BADLY REMAKE CLASSIC FILMS. THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES. THIS MOVIES DOES NOT NEED A REDO, ITS STANDS TIMELESS AND PERFECT AS IS. NOT ONLY THAT ITS INSULTING TO THE MEMORY OF THE ACTOR WHO SACRIFICED HIS LIFE IN THE MAKING OF THE FIRST ONE.
What the fuck? Why did there need to be a remake of The Day The Earth Stood Still? Why does there need to be a remake of The Crow? What's next, "HAY GUISE LET'S REMAKE CITIZEN KANE"?
Also, Brandon Lee's ghost says only the original movie can be any good. That's why all the sequels blow. I know this to be true because I read it on a fortune cookie.
FUCK! don't mess around with my favorite movie!! = no, i won't see it.
FUCK! argh!
NOOOOOOOOOOO, good Christ!! That's like Kenny Chesney trying to do a Rob Zombie cover. It's going to suck donkey balls. Why even try?????? Don't destroy the classic!
Re: slut muffin – no, you actually can see a part of the scene, and they had to have a double to finish the film after he died. findadeath will give you answers, probably.
Hell no. It's an abomination. I hope the ghost of Brandon Lee terrorizes their dreams.
Jesus. Can no one in Hollywood come up with an original idea? What a bunch of cheap-asses.
um. no. the original is perfect and great. brandon lee pretty much died for the part, lets not shame his last/best role with a fucked up remake.
that movie is cursed
A crow remake?? Are they going to remake the death of their lead actor too? Give me a break! This remake is NOT needed! It's got the Superman curse.
NOOOOO!!!!!! The original is a Classic. Just leave it alone.
HELL NO!!! Loved the original. . . . and it's soundtrack. This is one that can NOT be remade.
