This is kind of weird. Bloody Disgusting brings us some news about The Crow reboot:
Bloody Disgusting has confirmed exclusively that Mark Wahlberg was offered the lead role in Relativity Media's The Crow, a remake of the 1994 film that starred Brandon Lee as a man (Eric Draven) brutally murdered that comes back to life as an undead avenger of his and his fiancée's murder. The film was an adaptation of James O'Barr's incredible comic series. Iconic musician and acclaimed screenwriter Nick Cave has been working on a rewrite with Stephen Norrington (Blade, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen ) attached to direct. The new tale is said to take place in Detroit. Now, the offer has been made, therefore Wahlberg could (and hopefully will) decline. I can't say this news has me swimming in excitement.I hope he declines too. I don't see it.
If there is any film that does NOT need a reboot it is the Crow. The original is still just as brilliant and stunning as it was back in 1994.
ReplyDeleteI won't support it no matter who is starring. That is like rebooting Enter The Dragon.
Fuck that.
