I really am against the reboot of The Crow, but it looks like it's inevitable that it's going to be made. The producer recently spoke out on the reboot and had this to say.
The io9 website chatted up producer Ryan Kavanaugh, currently out promoting 'Brothers'. He is also a producer on the relaunch 'The Crow'.
During the Q & A Kavanaugh confirmed many facts that people already knew: The script is in good shape. The story does not focus on Eric Draven, but rather a new character. Attention has now shifted to casting.
"The script is great. We're very excited about it," Kavanaugh said of director Stephen Norrington's work. "'The Crow' is definitely going to happen, we're just getting all the pieces together right now. 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."
Kavanaugh said plans are to relaunch the character as "a dark Superhero type" and they're looking for the right actor to fill the bill.
"It will be an actor you've heard of.... We're not ruling anything out. We're looking at both, with the very well known and the 'very talented but they may not be quite there yet,'" the producer said.
He also said they plan to tweak the character's iconic goth. "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."
Sigh....it's probably going to suck.
