Film Remaking the Crow

[Moriath]

The original was a classic and an epitaph to Brandon Lee who died while making it

Why cant they leave these things alone

Mark Wahlberg Offered the Lead Role in Remake of 'The Crow' « FirstShowing.net

 

[old.Tohtori]

If it's good, it's good. Don't give two tosses if it's a reboot or not.

Will wait to see on its own merits, then say. Different movies.

 

[Wij]

That might suck just a bit.

 

[ECA]

As long as Mark Wahlberg dies during the making of it I'll be happy.

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

I rather like Mark Wahlberg.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Yeah, he's not that bad. Not as good as matt damon(which i always confuse with wahlberg for some reason), but steady enough.

Thing is though; remaking a movie won't ruin anything. It's just another version, like someone telling a joke a bit differently. This surely is a different crow, and let's not forget that there was a TV show already and it worked rather well too.

They could for example make the crow a bit rougher around the edges, while brandon threw it towards the joker style. More brutal perhaps, boxer not a ninja if you will.

Not to mention, it's not like it's been a long time since the last crow movie. If this starts a similar "reboot" series that batman started, we just have to wait and see if it's good instead of hang onto our fandicks like little boys at the mans house who offered candy.

Shit actor, shit idea.

Leave it the fuck alone, it isn't even that old for fucks sake. I don't mind remakes of really old films but what's the point of spoiling a modernish film?

 

[old.Tohtori]

Could someone explain the "leave it alone" thing?

Are they coming in big black vans to rewrite over your classic vhs?

Is the original crow disappearing somewhere?

Do you have to see it so it "ruins your memory"?

What is your argument for not making the movie?

 

[nath]

So Marky Mark is making *another* revenge film where his family is killed. I'm quite sure it will also be shit.

As long as Mark Wahlberg dies during the making of it I'll be happy.

I wholeheartedly concur.

 

[Tom]

I don't understand the idea that a remake "spoils" the original. It does no such thing.

 

[Sparx]

i fully 100% agree with toh in this conversation

 

[Wij]

Godzilla

 

[Wij]

...oh and Fist of the North Star (1995) - IMDb

 

[Scouse]

Jeesus. The only reason the first one did any box office was that crow died and goths are a bunch of morbid bastards.

The original was shit. So this'll be a shitter version of shit.

Like browner brown

 

[Sparx]

I also agree with Scouse

 

[Roo Stercogburn]

I liked the original film. Not a fan of anything that came after. I'm interested to see how this goes. Not hyped about it but not dismissing it either.

 

[old.Tohtori]

The original was solid, at the time(with the competition) it surely stood out. These days it's not that special, but it's as entertaining as anything else from that time.

 

[Ch3tan]

I also for once agree with Scouse.

also Mark Wahlberg helped bring us Boardwalk Empire, so stop being idiots

 

[Wazzerphuk]

He was also the lead in Max Payne, which is a pretty similar role to the one he'd play in The Crow.

He was fucking awful in it.

He isn't terrible all of the time, just quite often.

 

[Lamp]

oh lawks

 

[Zenith.UK]

NO!
Just... NO!

The Crow is one of my all-time favourite films.
Story, style, casting, soundtrack... all come together make a unique film.


Remakes *CAN* be done right (Star Trek reboot for example) but more often than not are done badly.
Nightmare of Elm Street, The Omen, Friday 13th, Planet of the Apes...

Oh look, there's a remake that Marky Mark was in... and it was PANNED!

 

[old.Tohtori]

He was also the lead in Max Payne, which is a pretty similar role to the one he'd play in The Crow.

Well, similarities starting with "family killed" and ending in "family killed"

Otherwise a new york cop with an attitude problem is quite far from a guitar player of a band turned vengeful spirit.

Zenith, then don't watch it

 

[Wazzerphuk]

They're both essentially revenge movies.

 

[Raven]

I don't understand the idea that a remake "spoils" the original. It does no such thing.

Its makes no difference to the original film. It's still going to be utter shit.

 

[old.Tohtori]

They're both essentially revenge movies.

Well in that case, i guess punisher, machete, commando and mean girls fits his role too

Its makes no difference to the original film. It's still going to be utter shit.

I don't mind people going "It's going to be sh*t" or "I'll never watch this utter piece of garbage", or some such notion, i respect their choice to do so. I don't however really care for silly notions like Tom referred to. Illogical, ridicilous argument and as such, blibleh.

 

[Yaka]

peh :/
