This movie shouldn't have been made, period. Like many others, the original is too good to be dishonored with a remake...
I hope they made a great film, but just like Heath Ledger's Joker, I don't think you can have a better Eric Draven than Brandon Lee.
I don't think the modern filmmaking process can make The Crow as good as the 90s filmaking did.
I feel like the producers of the original film think they have a small cash cow as they have been behind every film since including this one. Although this film has taken over a decade to get to this point.
That's it, folks are looking around for other franchises and they are likely pitching this every chance they get, despite the "franchise" being one great film and quite a few cash-ins of diminishing quality.
I'm booked in to see the original in the cinema and I'm really looking forward to it. I'll go and see the new one too but don't expect much, which might mean I end up unexpectedly impressed by Bill Skarsgård's second one-man-army film of the year.
Similar to how I feel. I'm sure Skarsgard will be great. I also think the remake is unnecessary and is almost certain to come very far from matching the quality of the first.
Also, if they don't nail the soundtrack, the whole movie is a failure. That soundtrack practically shaped my musical tastes and I still listen to many songs on it.
That's an impossible task as the original soundtrack came together at the right time to create one of the best of all times. Anything they do will sound like they are trying to hard or not hard enough and the whole musical landscape is different.
