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.

if you remade a clockwork orange with alex as a fan of my chemical romance instead of beethoven nobody would be convinced by your 'it's a new interpretation of the book' defence either

that said i read somewhere that the trailer music isn't the same as the actual soundtrack. so maybe it mightn't be that bad. but he still looks like an emo twink joker
