After many rumblings in the industry, it has been confirmed that The Crow will be remade. I’m a fan of the original film, and it’s hard to imagine anyone bettering Brandon Lee’s performance or Alex Proyas’ direction. I do have a smidge of hope, though!
Corin Hardy has been tapped to direct the remake, and Jason Momoa has confirmed he’s been cast as Eric Draven. Hardy’s debut film The Hallow was pretty damn good, mixing suspense with thrills and beautiful effects. Momoa is a complete badass (see: Game of Thrones, the upcoming Aquaman), and as long as they don’t try to completely replicate the original or totally fudge up the story, it could actually be a worthy remake. Production is set to begin in January 2017.
