Nick Cave Doing Rewrites for The Crow

Joseph Gordan Levitt should do this

We don't need another Crow movie. Keep beating a dead horse, hollywood.

I cannot think of one good reason to remake The Crow. Not one. The original was fantastic and timeless.

They could get frickin' Steven Spielberg and the ghost of Stanley Kubrick to direct and Orson Welles, the Coen brothers, Joss Whedon, and Maya Angelou to be on the writing committee and it STILL would not have been worth the trouble!

The original was great. Leave it alone. A reboot would do nothing more than diminish the quality of the first.

hmm maybe i should try to find it on tv or something soon. most horror movie sequels are poopy :P

i watch the movie of crow The Crow: City of Angels and it was bad but i will try original but great find AverageCitizen99

Luke Goss all the way!

Good Maybe We can Finally See The Skull Cowboy!
I was against a remake but I can't wait to see it!

If they're gonna do this - reboot. Because I know that for a while they were talking about this being another continuation.

The Crow franchise is very special to me. And to everyone that's suggested Levitt for the role - I couldn't agree with you more. He would be PERFECT.

I was Draven once for a Halloween party :D

@Arrion: I seriously wished the would have kept him in the film. I loved the aspect of him as Draven's guardian in the comics - and that was missing in the movie... I really really hope they do that this time :)

maybe they should leave the crow alone & keep it as a tribute to brandon lee.
no reboot.

guys what about Garrett hedlund

LEEE777 i watch city of angels and it was crap

LEEE777 yeah i will download it from torrent

I would join the chorus of people saying leave it alone if not for Nick Cave's involvement. The Proposition was frickin' awesome, easily the best western of the past several years (better than 3:10 or Appaloosa). Get Hillcoat to direct it and I'm there.

@LEEE: Thank you, bro :D

Someone fill me in then - I keep hearing conflicting reports... Last I remember, it was gonna be another (bound to be aweful) sequel with the badguy from Hellboy II playing the title role. Then I hear reboot. Then reboot with different name and make-up. At any rate - here is my full opinion:

I saw the original film at a drive in movie theatre with my dad when I was a kid - he was the biggest Crow fan, a huge Bruce/Brandon Lee fan, and he got me switched on to the comics. The Crow is one of my absolute favorite fictional franchises, not even just for nostalgic reasons - and I really don't want them to screw this up.

I'd really like to see a more faithful adaptaion to O'Barr's original comic if they HAVE to do this. The first film was a masterpiece - and it retained the basic core of the story. If they were to do a more direct adaptation - it wouldn't come off as a remake at all: simply call him 'Eric' like in the comic - 'Draven' was a product of the movie. Like the comic, have Shelly killed by a drunk-driver, etc. And by simply modernizing it, it would further separate the two films.

These are my thoughts for if they're gonna do this, since it looks like they really are. Ultimately - I feel like the whole thing is unecessary though. They got it right the first time, and I guess I always thought that if it's not broke don't fix it...

jim@ couldnt agree wit u more...except i like Luke Goss in the leading role :)

lol its a lil 2 late 2 be crying 2 leave the original alone....its only right they try 2 make a good crow after sooo many bad ones :)

When I heard this was getting remade, I, like SO many others, was a bit leery about it. I HEARD that Norrington's take on this was more of a documentary type style, almost like it had been filmed with a handheld camcorder. Which, to me, sounded interesting and I began to try to have a little faith in it. The original is one of my all time favs and I have watched it countless times. And, in my opinion, still holds up quite well today, especially the soundtrack. I read the comic years ago and was aware that it didn't quite follow the comic, but still, retained the heart of the comic. I'm interested in seeing another take on this because the sequels (City of Angels wasn't TOO bad)sucked! Especially Wicked Prayer (which was a great novel by the way)
