The Crow remake starts production in Wales

So, tentatively I mention the remake of the 1994 cult classic The Crow. With Jack Huston now confirmed for the role of Eric Draven/The Crow, a role held in such high regard by many myself included. Now Nick Cave is penning the screenplay shines a little light on this.  A talented musician and now an emerging screenwriter Cave could be the man that gives this dark comic book series a new platform. However, the script is then in the hands of Corin Hardy who's debut wide-release feature length picture The Hallow is due to be released this year. This could be the perfect man for the job, he has tendencies for the dark and creepy in his shorts, see In The Back and Butterfly.

Now as much as I support British filmmaking, I just don't feel that I can get completely behind this (more than likely because I am far to emotionally attached to Brandon Lee as The Crow). I just feel given Lee's demise during the making of this picture that it should just be left alone and not rehashed and sent out into the stratosphere with a million other comic book movies that are currently in production and to be released in the next 5 years. We've all seen the terrifying timelines of the upcoming movies from DC and Marvel if you have have a look here. It's going to be so hard to compete or even be visible amongst all that and I am not saying it should. Needless to say I am really looking forward to Hardy's The Hallow (sadly no trailer as of yet) which is out 26th June 2015.
