Is The Crow better off dead or alive?

It’s far to long to start talking about waking up the dead. However, I heard it thru the graveyard that the gods of Hollywood have plans in resurrecting the black bird of vengeance: Eric Draven A.K.A. The Crow. It was just a matter of time for this cult film starring the well missed and immortalized Brandon Lee, to take the rinse and repeat formula of Hollywood to revamp itself.

As the coin has two sides, so does the flipping of fan reactions all over the web. For those of you and boy if they are many, that want The Crow to remain untouched, especially the short legacy that Brandon Lee left and not go for a new movie, then you’ve flipped tails and lost…

Now, for all of you not bothering at all for The Crow flying into a new version, heads up you win! As you may know by now producer Ryan Kavanaugh has stated that The Crow sooner or later will have the green light to go airborne. If you ask me, I’d say this might move up to 2011, who knows? Kavanaugh has also declared that The Crow will not be a remake, but rather a totally new fresh version of it. Doesn’t matter if 15 years later new generations don’t have a clue at all or haven’t seen the original 1994 movie. Not to mention who the heck Brandon Lee is, because this one is going to be a relaunch of the franchise. Besides this, Kavanaugh said that whom ever actor gets to play Eric Draven, which we don’t by now, will have the character go into a dark path, just as The Dark Knight did. Duh? Isn’t it obvious? We all know that The Dark Knight has become the benchmark of superhero movies and that it has raised up the bar big time, for portraying up what a brand character of this type, should truly be. But when you are an underdog that comes back from the dead, alive and kicking, to take vengeance upon vile scumbags and send them dead straight back to hell; then a dark plot is definitely a must! There’s simply no question about it.

Since I called out “Tails”, I lost the bet, cause I belong to the side wishing up for The Crow not turning into a movie. But since you cannot fight against Hollywood’s wish list of waking up the dead then all we can wish for and “pray” are for some fine casting calls that do honor Mr. Lee’s long gone memory; even though as The Crow, we all know he’s the one without equal, that’s never coming back.

LONG LIVE THE CROW
