Based on the comic book series created by James O’Barr, the first version of The Crow was released in 1994 and told the tragic story of goth rocker Eric Draven and the love of his life, Shelly Webster. Later this year, we’ll be getting a remake of The Crow, with the story of Eric and Shelly being told all over again. It seems kind of strange to do a remake and revisit characters in a franchise that lends itself to the anthology format, where each film can be focused on a different vengeful, undead person… but it does make business sense, because The Crow remake is getting more attention than the three Crow sequels ever got. But those Crow sequels do have their fans, and Scream Factory is about to celebrate one of them – The Crow: Salvation from 2000 – with a limited edition Blu-ray release on March 26th.

We recently heard that Lionsgate has picked up the distribution rights to the reboot of the classic film The Crow (get it Here), which was released by Miramax back in 1994. Before Miramax acquired it, The Crow had originally been set up at Paramount. They decided to let go of it due to the controversy surrounding the on-set death of star Brandon Lee and the amount of violence in the film. So when Paramount acquired Miramax back in 2020, gaining the rights to The Crow in the process, it was like the film had gone full circle. It came back to Paramount. Recently, cinematographer Dariusz Wolski, mentioned a 4K restoration of The Crow would be on the Paramount Plus streaming service soon. While it hasn’t hit streaming yet, Blu-Ray.com announced that the 4K Blu-ray is set to come out on May 7th to mark the film’s 30th anniversary.

In the year of our Lord Cate Blanchett, running a successful Oscar campaign is akin to running a marathon on a tightrope. The first stride is pivotal: An anticipated title must be properly teased, and “surprise” breakouts still require the right awards context if critics and tastemakers are to anoint a new contender. Next steps come in a flurry: The reaction roundups, review roundups, and reactions to the reaction and review roundups all swirl together to shape the would-be-nominee’s initial “buzz.”
Right now, this is where Brendan Fraser finds himself — in the midst of an Oscar push for his heavily touted “comeback” turn in “The Whale,” a Darren Aronofsky film starring everyone’s favorite “Mummy” lead as a reclusive English teacher living with severe obesity. First looks stirred considerable interest. Early buzz out of Venice is strong. And while the film has seen a steady stream of negative notices,...

The CW has acquired the US rights to the action series “Professionals” starring Tom Welling, Brendan Fraser, and Elena Anaya.
The premiere date for the show’s U.S. broadcast debut will be announced at a later date.
“Professionals” follows Vincent Corbo (Welling), a top-tier security operative, who is paid to protect the interests of rich and powerful clients by any means necessary – legal or not. After a next-gen medical satellite explodes on launch, Corbo is hired by the rocket’s designer – billionaire futurist Peter Swann (Fraser) – who suspects sabotage. Complicating Corbo’s new gig is his former paramour and now Swann’s fiancée, medical visionary Dr. Grace Davila (Anaya), who is racing to help stave off a global catastrophe.
As Corbo and his team of veteran security professionals investigate the rocket disaster, they expose a lethal conspiracy of Swann’s corporate rivals, corrupt government officials, and a shadowy crime...

Brendan Fraser Actioner ‘Professionals’ Finds Global Distribution With Rainmaker Content (Exclusive)
Rainmaker Content has picked up worldwide distribution rights from German studio Leonine for Brendan Fraser-starring action series “Professionals.” The project, which was completed during the global pandemic, will be shopped to buyers at next month’s virtual Mipcom market.
Commissioned by Nordic Entertainment Group (Nent Group) for streamer Viaplay, the cast includes Fraser (“Trust”), Tom Welling (“Smallville”), Elena Anaya (“Wonder Woman”), Saïd Taghmaoui (“John Wick 3”), Ken Duken (“Inglorious Basterd”), Lisa Loven Kongsli (“Force Majeure”) and August Wittgenstein (“The Crown”).

What Corbo and his team discover, however, is that a combination of Swann’s business rivals, corrupt government officials and a shadowy crime syndicate could be behind the attack.

The tragic history of The Crow helped usher in a quarter century of comic book movies.
On May 13, 1994 The Crow, based on the comic book by James O’Barr, was released. At the time, comics-based movies -- the superhero variety or otherwise -- were in a slump. After the initial excitement following the massive success of Tim Burton’s Batman in 1989, that series had taken a darker turn with 1992’s Batman Returns, and the corresponding dip in box office had Warner Bros. Pictures preparing a far more kid-friendly and garish Batman Forever for 1995.
The Superman franchise had died a more gruesome death than even Doomsday itself could bestow with 1987’s Superman IV: The Quest for Peace, and as a result Krypton's last son lay dormant in re-development hell. As for iconic publishers like Marvel…let’s just say that the bargain-basement Captain America (1990) and the TV quickie...

We have so many comic book movies nowadays and they are all trying to make something that does something different. It seems like it's almost impossible. But nevertheless, Rob Cohen who has brought us some of the best mindless action films of all time including xXx and The Fast and the Furious, has decided to do just that.
Cohen is going to direct a film version of the comic Razor. Razor is a very punk S&M looking heroine with 80's hair and makeup and who doesn't feel pain. Cohen also wrote the screenplay based on writer Everette Hartsoe's comic. And just in case you want even more Cohen, he also is a producer alongside Jeff Most.
What interests me the most about this comic isn't necessarily the character or the story, but rather it's conception. Hartsoe wrote this book to mourn his sister's death who was murdered when he was 15 years old.

With Luke Evans having walked the other month, Relativity Studios is now said to be targeting Jack Huston ("Boardwalk Empire") to play the lead character in the upcoming remake of "The Crow".
Huston, who recently scored the title role in the "Ben-Hur" remake, is in early talks to join the Corin Hardy-directed new version of "The Crow" which is expected to be a more faithful adaptation of the James O'Barr graphic novel about a murdered man who comes back for revenge.
Brandon Lee starred in Alex Proyas' 1994 film with various other actors taking on the role in assorted sequels. The Cliff Dorfman-scripted reboot is aiming to begin production this spring.
Edward R. Pressman, Kevin Misher, Ryan Kavanaugh, Jeff Most and Jeff Waxman will produce.

Welcome to another horror news round-up! This time around, we have an update on whether or not Luke Evans will play Eric Draven in The Crow reboot, details on the recently announced horror film, The Greasy Strangler, and a clip, poster, and images of Bruce McDonald’s Halloween-set Hellions, making its debut this Sunday night at the Sundance Film Festival.
When Corin Hardy (The Hallow) became attached as the director of the long-gestating reboot of The Crow (after F. Javier Gutiérrez left the director’s chair) back in December, discussions of who would play main character Eric Draven resurfaced, with Luke Evans’ future in the lead role somewhat of a question mark.

The incredibly prolific Michael Winterbottom had two 2014 titles, so we’re sure to see this latest project materialize before the end of the year, though major cast has not yet been announced since the news broke during the 2014 Cannes Film Festival. While The Trip to Italy was a light piece of entertainment, Winterbottom’s other 2014 title, The Face of an Angel, which played Venice and Toronto wasn’t as well received, even though it was a compelling take on how we adapt true crime stories to film. This latest, The Vatican Connection, seems to be in that vein, based on the real-life story of the NYPD detective who first uncovered the Vatican Bank’s links to the Mafia in the 1970s.

The rebooted version of 1994 comic book classic, The Crow, has found a new director. The previously-attached F. Javier Gutiérrez has bowed out, and relative newcomer Corin Hardy will take the reins on the gothic revenge actioner.
Per Deadline, Hardy’s name was suggested to Edward R. Pressman – who produced the original and is tackling the same role for the remake – by none other than Edgar Wright. A self-confessed fanboy, Wright was impressed by Hardy’s first short, Butterfly, and the edgy music videos he crafted for Ed Sheeran, Biffy Clyro, Keane, Paolo Nutini and The Prodigy, and recommended him for the gig. Hardy’s feature debut, The Hallow, traces the story of family who move to the rural confines of countryside and wind up fighting a load of creatures in the woods. It’s yet to be released, but will hopefully land a date for 2015.

Dealing with unbearable pain from an unspeakable loss, 1994’s The Crow still leaves an indelible mark on viewers with its foreboding atmosphere, haunting soundtrack, and tremendous final performance by the late Brandon Lee. A reboot of The Crow has been in development for years and though its news front has been quiet for some time, it’s just been revealed that a new director has been lined up to take the reboot’s reigns.
Deadline reports that the folks at Relativity Studios have set their sights on Corin Hardy to helm The Crow reboot. F. Javier Gutiérrez was previously going to direct the long-gestating remake, but instead opted to take on the third movie in The Ring series.

Michael Winterbottom is to direct The Vatican Connection about the real-life story of the NYPD detective who first uncovered the Vatican Bank’s links to the Mafia in the 1970s.
Detective Joe Coffey was working undercover in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, tailing a vicious local mobster, when he stumbled upon information linking the Vatican Bank and the Mafia.
His global investigation – taking him from New York to Munich, London and Rome - revealed that Vatican Bank president Archbishop Paul Marcinkus, was working with the Mafia to hide losses incurred by the institution as it financed anti-Communist missions in central America.

The remake of The Crow is perched and nearly ready to go, and as a means to quell some fan hesitation, Red Carpet News caught up with the new Eric Draven himself, Luke Evans, to find out what fans can expect!
“Well, we just want to be as authentic and loyal to the original comic as possible, and that means the story will be different,” says Evans.
“It’ll be different from what people are expecting. It’s not about us ripping off the Brandon Lee movie; that stands alone as a brilliant piece of cult film and a great performance, but we’re going back to the book, the original book. And that’s exciting because we’re bringing to the screen a lot of parts of the story that were never really told. So yeah, it’s our chance to do it, to do it differently, but to...

We don't know much about Relativity's upcoming Crow reboot, a project that has already been plagued by legal issues and negative screenplay reactions. All we know for sure is that Luke Evans will take flight as the titular vengeance-seeker, and director F. Javier Gutierrez is looking to stay very faithful to the original comics.
All sounds good to me so far, and this latest rumor sounds even better.
According to the website Schmoes Know, "Walking Dead" star Norman Reedus is being eyed to play a character named James. According to their sources, he is the top choice to play the character, though we have no way of knowing just who this James fellow is. Perhaps one of the bad guys that Draven goes after? Now that I'd like to see!

The Crow producer Jeff Most has filed a $1 million lawsuit against makers of the new film.
He has claimed that Edward R Pressman Film Corp, Relativity Media, Sammyjack Productions and others are in breach of his contract after cutting him out of the planned Crow reboot, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Most served as producer on the four film adaptations of James O'Barr's graphic novel and the Crow television series.
According to the suit, The Weinstein Company filed a suit against Relativity in 2011 over the fifth Crow film, claiming that it held the distribution rights.
The companies settled out of court in January 2012 in an agreement that meant they would work on the new Crow movie together.
Luke Evans is set to star in the F Javier Gutierrez-directed film.

For a while it sounded as if The Crow redux was in for some smooth sailing, but alas... someone has gotten their feathers ruffled again.
According to Deadline there’s yet another legal action circling the franchise: Jeff Most — a producer on the original 1994 film and its sequels, who had been working on the new one — is suing Ryan Kavanaugh‘s company and fellow producer Edward R. Pressman. The lengthy complaint filed in Los Angeles Superior Court alleges breach of contract and good faith, fraud, deceit and contractual interference. It seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive damages and legal fees.
The film is being produced by Ed Pressman, Kevin Misher, Relativity’s CEO Ryan Kavanaugh, and Jeff Most. Exec producers include Relativity’s president Tucker Tooley, The Weinstein Co.’s Harvey and Bob Weinstein, and Farah Films’ Dan Farah.

Well, this is interesting... a couple of days ago a script review of Javier Gutierrez's remake of The Crow slipped online, and let's just say it wasn't pretty. Said review made it sound as if this new Crow was a 180-degree turn from the original; however, star Luke Evans tells a different tale.
"[The Crow] was a very poignant film from my childhood, which I remember vividly," Evans tells Coming Soon. "The soundtrack, also. It was such a solid performance that Brandon Lee gave. It was a very tragic end for somebody that probably would have had a very promising career... I'm Eric Draven. I'm the same character. Obviously, he's been refreshed and brought up to date. We're reimagining it to a certain extent, but the story and the plot is mostly the same."

We'll just file this one under rumor for now because nothing is official. It's amazing the devil of a time the powers-that-be are having in terms of nailing down a star. Could Hollywood's best and brightest be afraid of the long talked about Curse of The Crow? Who knows. When we know more, you'll know more.

Pawn is an overplotted, low-expectations hostage drama that manages to work up a fair share of suspense despite some ridiculous plot holes. It opens with cop Forest Whitaker entering a diner just before midnight and quickly realizing all the employees and customers are on edge. Turns out he’s walked into the middle of a hostage situation. An armed robber named Derrick (Michael Chiklis) and his two accomplices are waiting until midnight when the time-locked safe can be opened. I won’t go into much more of the plot but I’ll say no one’s hands are clean and the story has enough double-crosses, ulterior motives, and conspiracies to make your head spin. The chief problem with The Pawn is its lack of originality; this is simply a story which is too familiar to be told in a straightforward manner…. and it’s not. Director David Armstrong and writer...

The folks at THR tell us that Chris Hanley and Edward Pressman, the producers of 2000′s American Psycho, have re-optioned the rights to Richard Hammer‘s 1982 book The Vatican Connection. Hanley, John Penotti, Jeff Most, and Bob DeBrino will be producing the adaptation, with Pressman serving as executive producer.
The nonfiction book follows the work of New York City police detective Joseph Coffey, whose career-long war against the Mafia led to the uncovering of a billion-dollar counterfeit stocks and bonds scam, one which connected the Mafia to the Vatican of Pope Paul VI, all through Italian banker Roberto Calvi. Calvi‘s bank was later shut down in the early 1980s, after 1.3 billion dollars went missing and his body was found hanging under a London bridge. Whether it was a suicide or a murder… that’s still up for debate. The producers are planning to reframe the real-life story into that of a thriller,...

F. Javier Gutierrez ("Before the Fall") has closed a deal to direct the long-gestating remake of "The Crow" at Relativity says Heat Vision.
Gutierrez had been in talks for a while until the legal dispute of the last nine months between Relativity and The Weinstein Company grounded the whole project. Said dispute has since been settled and Relativity is proceeding with the project.
Jesse Wigatow ("Eragon," "The Ruins") has also signed on to pen the script, the scribe recently penning another kind of reboot - a new adaptation of the Robert Ludlum thriller "The Osterman Weekend".
The 1993 original 'Crow' starred Brandon Lee as musician who is murdered while trying to save his fiancée from thugs. He is brought back from the dead by supernatural forces and seeks revenge.

Yesterday we reported that The Crow reboot was moving forward. Relativity Media decided to play nice and dropped it's lawsuit against The Weinstein Company. Comingsoon is reporting that it has found a director in F. Javier Gutiérrez (Before the Fall) and a writer in Jesse Wigutow. The original film was not even that great, and does not warrant a reboot in my opinion. This seems like a waste of time to me. What are your thoughts?
