• Leave The Crow alone. Brandon Lee’s version is cheesy in parts, but just fine, as is.

• I agree, although I would love to see a great reboot with the Skull Cowboy stuff that was never filmed on the original. As well, even though the original film is fairly dark, it was meant to be much, much darker before Lee died during filming.

  Unfortunately, the Weinsteins killed the franchise with the ridiculous City of Angels retread and the rest of the sequels. Although I did like the idea of the different makeup take in The Crow:Salvation. It was more watchable than City of Angels as well.

  In the end, it’s gotta be dark, violent, with a romantic resolution at the end. Plus a killer soundtrack. I liked Norrington’s faux-documentary-style filming take he was looking at in the early stages before he left.

  Regardless of what happens, I hope somebody nails it and actually improves on original or at least stands beside it. Like I said before, nobody’s done the Skull Cowboy stuff yet – 4 movies and an unwatchably bad tv show and nobody’s done the Skull Cowboy stuff.

  • Well, I liked the TV series and they did do The Skull Cowboy.He was played by Kadeem Hardison.

• I’m glad this remake keeps getting pushed back. The first movie was nearly perfect. It doesn’t need a remake/reboot.

  And for the record, neither does Poltergeist, Jaws, E.T. or Top Gun.

• So Fresnadillo goes from one crappy franchise to another. Good move. Don’t try to create anything new or do a passion project. Just retread what’s already been done.
