Screenhead

When I was in high school, not long after the movie The Crow came out, the Crow’s outfit and makeup quickly became like a uniform to the disaffected of my high school.  There was something about that undead avenger that just got everybody’s hackles up, and for a while, it was all some could think about.

So imagine my shock to find that there was a remake in the works.

Of course, the sequels that followed The Crow were all pretty much garbage, and the television series a sick joke that lasted less than one season.  So why not just start all over and hope to recapture that initial burst that made the original a big deal?

They’re no doubt hoping for a Dark Knight style success with this one, but I doubt they’ll get it.  Considering that they’re looking to put Stephen Norrington in charge–and the last time he was in charge we got League of Extraordinary Gentlemen–my hopes are few.
