The comic is grittier and more basic than the Brandon Lee movie.
The first movie is based on O’Barr’s comic story but it is far from a straight adaptation. I think if they try and recreate that movie it is a terrible idea however, if they instead chose to adapt the original/comic story, then I am all for it. People seem to feel that a remake will tarnish Brandon Lee’s legacy. He was the perfect actor for the original adaption. I fully understand the idea that Brandon Lee as Eric Draven is his legacy. It was a pleasant surprise for this Crow fan to hear that Jason Momoa was cast and it may actually go into production.įrom what I have seen, the majority of people like the casting decision but struggle whether or not a remake should be made. When that happened, I assumed we would not hear anything about the Crow for several more years. The most recent cause for the project to be derailed was Relativity Media’s financial troubles. This project has started and died so many times I even lost track of it. The list of actors attached is long and includes: Mark Wahlberg, Bradley Cooper, and most recently Jack Huston in 2015. I have been following rumours and starts and stops of this project for years. This is the closest this movie has been to actually happening after close to a decade in development purgatory. The most recent news is that filming is scheduled to begin in January 2017. Lately, there has been a lot of chatter about the planned remake of The Crow.
