The Crow reboot producer is surprised the original filmmakers aren't more accepting of the new movie (www.joblo.com)

Unfortunately, the film hasn’t exactly been accepted with open arms, with some members of the original movie even speaking out against it, which came as a surprise to producer Molly Hassell.

“It should make people proud,” Hassell told THR. “I’m surprised it hasn’t made the original filmmakers more proud, because it’s a step in a different direction, but it’s a necessary step to deal with the age-old themes of love and loss.“

This is the only bit of new news. The article then digs up older comments from the original film's director Alex Proyas and another screenwriter both being critical of this new version.

I'm willing to give the new version a chance but the way these articles are worded, it feels like they're willing the new version to fail regardless. I have a gut feeling this film won't do very well and then hit streaming services quite quickly.

brand-new reboot

Wait... was there a previous reboot? Outside of the "The Crow: The TV Series" that I stopped watching after a few episodes... I thought I had seen all the movies. Was there a previous reboot that I missed?

seek merciless revenge... to put the wrong things right

You get one or the other, you don't get both in a, The Crow, movie.

A suggested article linked on the page that the OP links to...

Bill Skarsgård not happy with The Crow’s ending

Bill Skarsgård has expressed unhappiness with how The Crow ends, suggesting it may be leaving the opportunity for a sequel.

There we go...

We've had:

  • The Crow

  • The Crow: City of Angels

  • The Crow: Salvation

  • The Crow: Wicked Prayer

All separate stories with the same premise. Wicked Prayer is truly awful. I watched it once, lent it to a friend and never asked for it back!

And yes, you're right, there was also one season (22 episodes) of The Crow: Stairway to Heaven. Which was Eric Draven's story expanded into a television series.

Which leads us to this new film which is Eric Draven once again.
