I really liked the first Crow movie but I was quickly bored with the subsequent sequels beating a dead horse. So I was less than curious about the proposed Crow remake by Stephen Norrington.
That is until I heard it won’t be at all like the original, and will have its own take on the legend.
We then learned that it wouldn’t be a remake of Proyas’ 1994 gothic stylized take on the story, and that Norrington planned to create a new character and story for the film. He also has said the new movie will be more realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary-style. He hopes to bring the franchise a sharpened different tone for 21st century audiences.
Now it looks like a draft of the script has been completed. A source close to the production revealed to Mania.com that Norrington’s current draft of the script has been “very well received” by Relativity.
I imagine it will still revolve around themes of revenge, but perhaps the title persona of the Crow will not be supernatural at all.
Now I am itchy curious to see what it is that is so different yet still required the purchase of the rights to create. Suddenly I care about the Crow remake.
