Well, haven't found a thread better suited for this post, so here it is:

Stephen Norrington to Reinvent The Crow
Source: Variety
December 15, 2008


Stephen Norrington has signed on to write and direct a reinvention of The Crow, based on the comic created by James O'Barr, says Variety.

Ryan Kavanaugh's Relativity Media is negotiating with producer Ed Pressman to acquire the film franchise and finance the film.

Pressman produced the 1994 Alex Proyas-directed adaptation, in which rock musician Eric Draven (Brandon Lee) is murdered trying to rescue his girlfriend from thugs, and returns from the dead one year later to exact vengeance.

For Norrington, The Crow deal marks the end of a long screen sabbatical. After making his breakthrough with Blade, Norrington took on a big-budget comic transfer with The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. Neither the director nor his star, Sean Connery, has made a feature film since.

"Whereas Proyas' original was gloriously gothic and stylized, the new movie will be realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary-style," Norrington said.

Well, this better be good, not saying that I have a lot of hope, the last ones were painfully terrible and I for one actually thought the gothic-style fitted perfectly in the first film.

This crosses the line. This film should not be "reinvented". It is just another word for let remake this and hope it is more successful than the original because we have no ideas for any new movies. WHY WITH ALL OF THE REMAKES!!

Almost documentary style? Are you kidding me? Stay in retirement you moron. Or just stay away from The Crow franchise.

The way I understood it, is that this won't be a remake/reinvention of the first film. It's a new adaption of the source material, being O'Barr's Masterwork. Which, because the first film was rather losely based on it, could be interesting if they stick closer to it this time. If O'Barr is involved again, this might be just be something worth keeping an eye on.

But yeah, in essence you're right, too many remakes lately and too many failed remakes!

Brandon must have spun in his grave after Wicked Prayer was filmed. I'm hoping for some justice. Norrington could pull it off.
