The Crow
When it was released in 1994, The Crow was an instant hit. No one expected to love this dark fantasy, with a tinge of gothic romance, as much as they did. Even with the tragedy of Brandon Lee’s death lingering over the picture’s success, it became the iconic film of a generation.
Since then, several spinoffs and even a TV series have been produced. Yet, none of them hit the same critical and financial heights of the original movie. Try as they may, the filmmakers haven’t been able to replicate the magic of Alex Proyas’ masterpiece.
After years in developmental hell, it appears as if a reboot will start production soon, with Jason Momoa in the leading role as Eric Draven. Here’s hoping it’s the film that finally manages to rejuvenate this franchise once and for all.
