"The Crow" Reboot is happening

 

The original The Crow feature based on the graphic novel was released in 94' starring Brandon Lee (son of Bruce Lee) who died during the filming of the production.

The original was about a rock musician who's revived from the dead to avenge his own murder, as well as that of his fiancée. Despite the incident, the film was a critical and commercial success after its release, opening at the top of the box office. Which is why we had to know that a remake/reboot was inevitable sooner or later.

According to MTV, director Stephen Norrington's reboot of "The Crow" reported to begin shooting soon. Edward Pressman who produced the previous Crow films said Norrington's screenplay is finished, and his take is much different then Alex Proyas' with the original. Norrington's vision is inching much closer to reality, with casting announcements on the way and filming beginning this year.

He also added that they have an offer out to a "Major Actor", and The setting is the southwest — the Mexico/Arizona area — and an urban [setting], Detroit or Pittsburgh. There are two locations that the film is set. Its initial platform is in the southwest and then it moves to the big city in the north, middle or eastern America, and then back.

One thing I can say that sounds promising about this, is that it won't just be a re-hash of what worked in the original. By the sounds of things they plan to update the story as well as bring a whole new take, unlike most remakes.
