STOP 'The Crow' From BEING RE-MADE
After several failed attempts at trying to re-invent The Crow franchise, Edward R. Pressman has now decided that trying to re-create the magic of the first film will be enough to draw in profit. The fans do not want this film to be made. The original film has stood the test of time, and forever should be left alone to stand as a lasting memorial to a man who gave his life for this film.
WE DO NOT WANT THIS NEW FILM MADE AND WILL NEVER EVER SEE IT IF IT IS RELEASED. DO NOT SELL THE FILM RIGHTS, SHOW SOME RESPECT AND REAL EMPATHY AT LONG LAST FOR THE LEGACY OF MR BRANDON LEE AND DROP THE PLANS TO MAKE THIS FILM.

When The Crow was released in 1994, after the tragic yet PREVENTABLE death of actor Brandon Lee, you promised that this film was released for Brandon Lee and would always stand as his legacy. Fans respected that decision and through numerous attempts at other interpretation new storylines in the franchise, also supported that and YOU. However, the intentional re-make of the original film, the original character ON SCREEN which Brandon made his own and had so much input in, is not something that will be respected or tolerated by your key audience, who you would wish to see such a film. Brandon's film legacy cannot be re-created, his life is lost, this role will always be Brandon's.
While we as fans understand the realities of Hollywood, and how it is driven by greed, we also expect that anyone having been through the trauma and the experience of making the original film, and knowing how sacred and special this film and the role of Eric Draven was to Brandon, should now show some respect and empathy for his memory and legacy by remembering your original promise to fans in 1993 and 1994, and reserving this screen role forever Brandon's.
The Crow released in 1994, was visionary, creative and was powerful on an artistic as well as narrative level. It does not need to be re-created, and what is more, we feel any production will only cheapen, even weaken the legacy this film alone has left and the influence it continues to have on countless other. Many of whom now have sworn to not see this film if it goes ahead with production. No fans = no profit.
Look into your soul and make the best decision - for Brandon!
Brandon Lee gave his very LIFE in the making of this film. It should be left as is in his memory. In my opinion, Brandon Lee will forever be THE Crow, there won't ever be another. You could remake the film 20 times but no one will ever come close to being as amazing as he was in the role of Eric Draven. Remakes will never see a hot cent from my pocket, nor the pockets of any of the other fans, I assure you.
The film was Brandon Lee's true calling. It makes me wonder how Brandons fiancé Eliza Hutton felt and how Brandon career would have been which I honestly believe it would have been great! RIP Brandon
No one can pull this film off the way Brandon Lee did. This was his legacy! He cannot be replaced!
I LOVE The Crow, the sequals were horse crap! You CAN NOT Top The Original!! I DEFINITELY KNOW That would be a HUGE Disgrace to Brandon and his family if The Crow was Remade. If the Real Fatal Shot Scene Was Deleted then, what's the problem?
This film was a great insparation and confort to me for many years, i am a martial artist who has a great love and respect for Brandon Lee and it would be pure depotchary to re-make this great man's final and best work.
Please do NOT remake 'The Crow' Brandon Lee is dead, and the utter disrespect by remaking the film that made him would kill all of the fan in the world!
True fans would hate it, and it would be utter heartbreak for them! , also poor Brandon Lee is dead, this is disrepect to him!
"If it's not broke, then don't fix it." There's nothing wrong with the original film that needs to be changed, re-made, etc. For those who's minds are filled only with dollar signs, how about releasing a Crow boxset or collector's edition... but PLEASE!! STOP TARNISHING THE LEGACY OF CLASSIC FILMS BY RE-MAKING THEM YEARS LATER & PRETENDING LIKE IT'S ORIGINAL, WHEN IT'S NOTHING MORE THAN A PATHETIC ATTEMPT FOR EASY PROFIT.
It was an amazing movie.
The crow should NOT be remade. Brandon Lee died for this film and remaking it would be putting his name in vain.
I am a huge fan of Brandon Lee and all his movies, but The Crow is and always will be my favorite movie of all time.
The Crow should not be remade simply because the true followers of this movie will not purchase or even watch this film. Brandon died making this movie and should be respected. The sequels have all tanked so why waste the money when true Crow fans will dismiss it.
it is still my fav. movie of all time and always will be..... no other movie has ever hit me as deep as that one did .... and never will
you dont mess with perfection.... and brandon lee is that in the movie "perfection"
this film means alot to me and has seen me through many bad times...i just watch Brandon and the thought of him losing his young life brings a tear to my eye everytime
u cant improve on perfection, and it would be a shame to ruin a good movie and not to mention the injustice it wud cause
seeing this movie as a young man had a profound effect on my life. it is a movie that haunts me to this day and carrys with it a beautiful kind of sadness,it is a unique film with a powerful message
The sequals to the first movie were second rate at best, they never managed to live up to the first one and i doubt the remake would do any better. brandon lee was a beautiful person and there will never be someone like him in our life time to fill that role, we can all learn something from him and should respect his legacy. he is the only eric draven.
Very turning point in Film Industry ... CLASSIC AMONG THE CLASSICS
Why remaking it? Would You redo "Gone with the wind?" because the casts are dead?
Well I think it's the best movie ever filmed, I will always remember that movie because of the justice. And how Brandon lee made that character feel real
i remember wanting it on tv in 96 an since then its been my fav its sad that Brandon died making it but he's the only Eric Draven to me nobody could ever replace him
the crow should'nt be re-made beacuse they have already made offsets of it an it will ruin the orginal for all crow fans everywhere.
To me the movie the crow was everything every quote in this movie I strongly believe in
This movie would be nothing without Brandon Lee he believed in it a lot
i can never get bored watching that movie and falling in love with Brandon Lee over and over again, the dream of a man loving you so much he would come back and kill everyone that cased your death what more could a women asked for.
you can not replace Brandon Lee, if you remake the movie its like killing him over again, you can not remake a cult classic. be original make a movie we have not seen before and not kill ones that are ready untouchable........
The crow has been my favorite film for 15 years. The dark imagery, the gothic look and the story of a man who is given the chance to take revenge on those who murdered him and his love are what makes it a great film. Although this film was adapted from a comic book series, Brandon Lee defined and perfected the main character and the rest of the actors made it what it is.
To remake this film would not only be an insult to Brandon Lee, but also would be impossible to recreate. It doesn't matter who the actors are or who writes the script or how much money is put into it. The Crow is what it is because of the time it was made, the people who were involved at the time and most notably because Brandon Lee played the character so well and lost his life during the film. Even if the movie wasn't about money they should still leave it alone.
The first film is a memorial to Brandon..He IS Eric Draven.....They cannot be allowed to remake this film in any way, shape or form....
I've grown up on the crow, and crow sequels. I have been apart of the crow franchise, being a lifetime member of the crow forum and fighting for it's right to not just be "some movie" this movie is actually a heart. It pumps the blood for all those who have loved, lost, or who WILL love and lose.
It SHOULD NOT be remade becuase then it will lose all credibility. It will NEVER have the same impact as it did so many years ago. You will lose teh die hard fans and gain imposters. There are thousands of Fan-made remakes, and those are fine, infact thay're wonderful. But that doesnt give a right for hte Big Bad corporation to do it themselves. STOP DOING REMAKES AND COME UP WITH YOUR OWN DAMN IDEAS!!!!!!!!!!
This film inspired me. I am an actor myself and Lee's performance in this film really hit home for me. He showed how someone can be so good and do such terrible things. Lee mesmerized me.
Please, don't remake the crow. Use the idea of someone coming back for love but please, don't retell the story of Eric Draven. If the remake comes through there will be a constant comparison between old and new. Don't do this to Brandon. Please.
The movie was released 4 months after my best friend died to neglect and emotional abuse. While it broke my heart at the time, it was cathartic. It gave me a little bit of faith in humanity. Brandon's performance and loss made that faith even more poignant.
I think re-releasing this movie would demean the sacrifice Brandon gave making it. It would devalue the the mystique and singularity of the original. I won't go to it. I won't rent it, I won't own it. Just like the other two movies, I have no care for anything else trying to recapture and replace one brilliant moment.
It gave us all something to hope for, knowing no matter what happens in life, someone will always be there waiting for us. The Crow inspired me to love life more and more everyday and to never take things for granted, no matter how small or how bad they may be. It made me feel again, and made me realize that love is the strongest feeling of all.
Not only is it my favorite movie of all time, it's a one of a kind film that was lead by a brilliant actor, gone way before his time. It's a film that has very strong and confident followers who absolutely adore Brandon Lee and his work in the movie. Not only is the movie one of a kind, but we lost a one of a kind person when the accident happened that took his life and shocked the world. Not only would it be a disrespect to the franchise but it would be a slap in the face to the original cast not to mention Brandon would be rolling in his grave. He left a legacy behind that has only been tarnished by horrible sequels and I'm pretty sure that's not the way it's supposed to happen. It's a movie of morals and feeling, please don't destroy this film, it's only been around 15 years. If anything, make another crappy film and slap the name on it for god's sake. This film has changed so many lives including my own.
It should not be re-made because Brandon Lee literally put his life into The Crow, and the rest of the crew for that movie was one of a kind and they made that movie what it was
I saw the film for the first time when i was 8 years old...from then on the film has been life changing in every sense of the word..I've worn crow make up every year for halloween, the concept the story the pain the joy everything has held a significance and bearing in my life, brandon lee is a true inspiration.
This film should NOT be remade the story shouldn't be changed and if O'Barr and Pressman allow this they will be tarnishing a legacy and also tarnishing every significant part of someones life...greed alone will only get you so far and that would make you no better than top dollar. This is brandon lee's domain he gave his life and love and sweat and blood to this film...don't take that away from him please.
Impact? The movie was fuckin' LIFE CHANGING. Since the first time seeing the movie I've put on crow makeup randomly, just because I adore the concept of the movie. Not to mention how spectacular the movie was all 'round.
Well of course it shouldn't be re-made! Is nothing in this world is sacred anymore!? The entertainment industry is a play on words itself! It's not "entertainment" more like, "herd the sheep into a mainstream piggy bank". I have little to base myself on, and one of those things is The Crow. I'm willing to do anything to stop this abomination of a "re-make"
