You must be joking.
There talking about remaking The Crow, and the director who did the Blade series is the guy who would do it.....
First off, Blade sucks ass, and whoever likes those movies does too.
Second, Fuck off hollywood, we have honestly had enough of your shitty remakes. >:(
The Crow can not be "redone" and your a god damn moron if you believe it can be and actually be a success. It will fail. It will be mocked and laughed at like your career.... "you stupid ass hair."
When will this shit end.

Who's looking to direct it? The first Blade was Stephen S. Norrington, who gave that really horrendous version of "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen." If he's touching this, it's a problem. You'd have a better chance at a good film with Uwe Boll directing if that's the case.
As for David Goyer (the writer of all 3 Blades and director of the last one), I think he's just riding the wave of what he did on The Dark Knight and Batman Begins. As a writer, he's learning, but as a director, he needs a little work. The Blade movies could have been stronger (Guillermo Del Toro is the best one, really), and The Invisible seemed to have missed something. His newest one, "The Unborn" won't be out for a while, so I can't really judge it.
I feel redoing "The Crow" is kind of like redoing "Blade Runner". Yes, with today's technology, you could create a stunning film (effects wise), but why do so when the original was so strong without it? That's kind of what made these movies great, that they took what they had at the time and was able to come up with something grand. What more could anyone possibly do with it? The movie wouldn't have the same effect at all. The look of Blade Runner's been used a dozen times, and when The Crow first came out, one reviewer mentioned that the look (of the city and everything) was the best he'd seen since Blade Runner. In the 14 years since the The Crow, you've had tons of films that have tried to copy the style.
I just don't see how this will work.
I see a Crow remake at this point as just another halfhearted attempt by the studios to make a quick buck with yet another comic-book-hero-movie, probably never intended to be "good" but just a placeholder between the couple of big-budget blockbusters slated for that year. Something to tide over the fanboys between Batman 3 and Ironman 2 or whatever. Sure, they'll bitch and moan but they'll buy a ticket anyway, so who cares. Make a quick couple of weekends' profit, sign a contract with Subway or Pizza Hut for kids' meal toys and sell some crappy DS games and move on. We get another forgettable movie - new on Blu-Ray! - and they get to do the money dance.
Color me unsurprised.
Stephen S. Norrington is the director that they have approched with this god awful idea... and I feel the same as you on this one... might as well have Uwe Boll do it, shit, there already going this low, might as well go all out on the crap factor. As for his plans with it..... Brace yourself here,
He wants it to be a documentary of Eric Dravins life............*blink blink* WHAT????!!! It is a stupid idea to say the very least. Having read the comics, I can say that it would in a very small step up from the original in terms of plot, since the comic is a series of stories based around Eric Dravin, but again, and I CAN'T STRESS THIS ENOUGH, a VERY small step up. The original was still very true to the comic, it was a version of stories around his lost love, and EVERYTHING about the film was perfect in terms of actor's, atmosphere and design. You could tell there was a lot of effort and heart put into the film not only by those doing it, but the actors themselves as well, which made it so great and stand out. Sure they didn't have a big hollwood budget, but they made something outstanding that spit in hollywoods face and I think everyone liked that about the film as well.
And yes, only 14 years later...? That is just silly. Now there are other remake's in talks that I am not crazy about... like Hellraiser, but at the same time, that makes a little more sense, though I am SURE they are going to fuck that up too with special digital effects and not casting Doug Bradley, which yes, is old now, but can you really imagine anyone else as Pinhead??? No.
No. No. No. No.
Hollywood needs to quit this shit, I am sick of it.... really sick of it. >:(

I could not have said it better myself! *Applauds*
True, But I feel that the effect's were not so bad... when Frank's face is about to be torn to bits it looked VERY realistic to me, and I still need to look away... now some of the hook to skin shots were a little lame, but keep in mind that digital effects can take away from the realistic feel of things these days... its to clean looking.
If they had a great make up effects team aboard {RIP Stan Winston} and used slight digital effects, that would be okay.. and it would have to be the digital team that worked on P.O.T.C., but foam latex would be a must!
In terms of acting... yes, that was kinda bad, but to me it added to the charm, it was funny... which maybe it should not have been, but I kinda liked that aspect of the film.
Personaly, I think if they remake it, they should have more of Pinhead in it. That is the only thing I didn't like about Hellraiser, he wasn't in it enough. :(
Anyways... I agree, it would be the GREATEST horror movie ever if done right. Have you seen the trailers yet for Book Of Blood? Based on another Clive Barker book, it looks pretty good so far...
I'm wondering when Hollywood will stop doing all this re-make stuff and start actually creating original pieces. It's so painful...leave a good thing alone people. I guess they didn't get it the first time when they made all those sequels.
Make it all stop!!!
On a happier note...like the poster/pic you put with your post. I still have my poster from almost 15 year ago. ;)
