'The Crow' Remake Back On Track, Hires Writer & Director
It's hard not to point out the appropriateness of the fact that 'The Crow' remake has now itself seemingly returned from the dead. Shortly after a lawsuit was filed by The Weinstein Company against Relativity Media's remake, claiming they still had all distribution rights on the reboot since it was their Miramax that distributed the original, the two parties settled and the new film was back in motion. Now, wanting to move quickly on the new 'Crow,' Relativity Media is closing a deal to hire Jesse Wigutow ('It Runs in the Family') to write the script. Wigutow also just finished the script for a biopic on actor Steve McQueen based on the biography 'Steve McQueen: Portrait of an American Rebel.' Additionally, Relativity has just nabbed F. Javier Gutierrez ('Before the Fall') to direct.
I wouldn't say I lack for confidence in these two, but it's hard to ignore how little experience they have between the two of them. This relative inexperience is doubly troubling considering the affections held by many of us for the 1994 original film starring the late Brandon Lee. I'd actually be ok with Relativity hiring relative unknowns if project wasn't suddenly being rushed through at breakneck speed, seemingly to make sure things are off and running before another potential setback crops up. It is possible, however, that this writer and this director were being carefully considered prior to the lawsuit and were therefore not hired at the last minute just to have someone on the books filling those roles. What really interests me, if the deal is finalized to hire Wigutow, is how his script will reinvent this character and reintroduce him to a younger generation. Also, how closely is he planning to stick to the comic book source material? Another question to ponder here is, now that we have a director and (ostensibly) a writer, who will star in the film? That, of course, remains to be seen.
What do you guys think? Are you excited or miffed that 'The Crow' remake is back up and running?

And it will fail financially, just like EVERY OTHER REMAKE in the past few years. Seriously, Hollywood, get your head out of your ass. You're losing money on these projects yet it seems like you want to ignore it. Not a good business plan.

...All I want to see is my Skull Cowboy, and see him done right. If they get that character right then everything else with this crow remake/adaptation should fit like a glove. I'll keep my fingers crossed for this project.

If this were a reboot to the series with a different crow then Erick I think it would work especially if the casting is right.
But yeah I agree this series has to be treated with a lot more respect that it has in past years.
I still Vote for Ben Foster. I think there is some really powerful darkness to his acting. When he played Marz in Hostage with the long black hair, Man did he ever look the part.
I can't think of anyone else who could do the role justice. I mean its just like if someone were to remake Back To The Future. There is no one that they could cast in the role of Marty that could ever be as good as Michael J. Fox. They remade Karate Kid and turned it into a little kids movie. The best will always be Ralph Macchio and Pat Marita. Now they want to remake Blood Sport with out Jean Claude Van Damme.

I worked for Jeff Most this past summer, that man is all about the money, not the content. I am not looking forward to him whoring out the crow property again. Hell, the man made 4 movies and a tv show, and the only good one was the first film which had the Weinstein's overseeing the production. His current film is a real mess as well, a lot of names which was cool, but the script wasn't any good. I have no hope of the new crow project being any good.

The fact that it's struggling to survive is giving me a cold shoulder.
