‘The Crow’ reboot will look like ‘Batman Begins’ according to producer
Remake of The Crow moves forward
While the upcoming reboot for The Crow has not received the almighty greenlight, that hasn’t stopped producer Ryan Kavanaugh from being optimisc about the project.
“The Crow is definitely going to happen, we’re just getting all the pieces together right now,” he said. “It’s not officially greenlit, but it’s going to happen. I think in a couple months we could have the package together for sure.”
Putting fans of the original Crow at ease, Kavanaugh stated that the film will not be a direct remake of the original classic starring the late Brandon Lee. Instead, it’s looked upon to be a relaunch of the franchise. Also, he’s already talking with actors.
“We’re approaching it differently,” he said. “It’s really a whole relaunch of the franchise, much more of a dark superhero type.”
The new Crow character will be “much more present day” and “he’ll have makeup, but it will be different. The best way to compare it is the first Batman and Batman Begins. In terms of their look and feel and character.”
The new The Crow, based on the work of James O’Barr, will be directed by Stephen Norrington.

So not only are the beating a dead horse with a stick by continuing to make unsuccessful Crow films. Not only are they trying to reboot a classic. Now they are also trying to rip off the look and feel of Batman Begins? I'm a fan of the original but I'm just getting tired of all of these franchise reboots because Hollywood doesn't have any more original ideas. Besides Batman Begins and maybe Casino Royale, none of these reboots are even half as good as the originals.
