      It really does not sound like it in the trailer though. I keep listening to it and to me it sounds like he's saying ''Julie", not 'Shelley". I think initially they were going to not keep the names of the characters either but then decided to go full-grift-mode and HAD to try to keep the names and maximize the controversy clicks. I'm so tired of this BS. They keep pulling these stupid stunts. Also, the characters are completely different. So it acctually would have made sense to give them different names for real, not just via bad dubbing scenes. @@sirimity

    To me The Crow was more than just a timeless classic. It was my childhood and tweenhood. The Crow was Brandon Lee's breakout performance, his passion project, his grave. It was Fun Boy's actor's guilt over what happened. It was Brandon Lee's stunt double getting Latex placed in his face to look like Brandon so he could finish the movie. It was the crew and cast finishing that movie with the new goal of honoring Brandon. If this movie does well at all, it will be because of Bill. Hollywood should've left this alone for all the reasons stated above.

      I love The Crow too but we can’t let Brandon’s death be a reason it’s never allowed to be touch again (especially the Eric Draven version). It’s been 30 years, enough time has passed that we can do a remake now. If it sucks, oh well we still have the original. If it’s good, congratulations we have the first good Crow movie since the original.

      ​@@Linklex7But there are plenty of graphic novels within The Crow series that they could have done without doing a remake of the original. Hollywood doing a remake is essentially them holding a middle finger up to the original, and, with it, Brandon Lee, and screaming out, "Fuck you! We can do better!" It's an insult to his memory in every way possible.

      @@comicsexpired764 Well, personally, I think cancelling people under any circumstances is ridiculous, so you don't have to worry about that, at least as far as I'm concerned!
      That said, one, by remaking this film, they're essentially taking a look at the original, throwing it a HUGE middle finger, and going, "Fuck you! We can do better!" And that's a TERRIBLE insult to Brandon's memory! That alone makes it more than worth boycotting, because seriously, to hell with anyone for doing that to him!
      But beyond that, this just looks like a horrible film. This rendition of The Crow looks like Jared Leto's (Suicide Squad) version of the Joker trying WAY too hard to be Goth! The actress that they got for Shelly is pretty enough and a decent enough actress, but she doesn't look or feel anything like I remember Shelly looking or acting like in the graphic novel.
      Plus, the film itself is entirely too polished to ever be true to the gritty realness of the graphic novel it's based on. In it, Eric was actually a junkie who self-harmed, aspects of his character that Brandon wanted to put in, but the director wouldn't let him, so he resorted to taping his arms with black tape as tribute to that fact. Here, they completely ignored that fact altogether, without even track marks on his arms or wrapping them in black tape in tribute to this deeply important aspect of who Eric is, and instead gave us an overly polished, high budget Hollywood film that is supposed to be closer to the comics than the original, but instead gutted the soul from it entirely. If the original had never been made, and I saw the previews for this one, I would simply think it looks like a terrible film--maybe mediocre at best--and not see it simply because it just looks like a seriously bad film. And that sucks, because I actually have a HUGE fondness for crows, and love the idea of them serving as a connection between our world and the afterlife. A movie has to look seriously bad for it to have that theme, and me not want to see it. This film, even when taken entirely on its own merits, without the original being taken into account, just looks that bad!
      But add in all of the other factors--especially the absolutely terrible "Fuck You!" they gave to Brandon by making this (that, by far, most of all!), and I just have zero desire to see it. It's just a terrible film, on multiple levels.

      @@crow_featherI really enjoyed reading this! Definitely learned some more about The Crow. But I also feel as though the idea of recreating the iconic movie isn’t a slap in the face to the original. Don’t get me wrong, it definitely would’ve been interesting to see a different version. And it does feel as though Hollywood is getting a bit lazy sometimes (that’s a whole other conversation) However, there’s nothing wrong, in my opinion, with getting different perspectives on set concepts. New interpretations. I don’t think this will be a bad film at all but I guess we’ll see!

  • @sugarandchaos
    @sugarandchaos 3 місяці тому +47

    I absolutely agree. The minute I saw the style choice for Eric, I thought he looked like the person Eric would be seeking vengeance against.
    The reason I think I cared so much about Brandon Lees Eric was that he was likeable and had a sweetness to him. Despite his violent acts, you rooted for him. It felt justified. Eric and Shelly, though depicted as gothic in their lifestyle, which would have been seen as quite alternative at the time, they were "good people". They looked after a neglected kid. They were animal lovers, and the dynamic between them was tender and loving. They died because they were campaigning against tenancy eviction in a super corrupt city. Even though you only saw them together for 10 minutes tops, you cared.
    My worry is that casting them with more of a dysfunctional or toxic Joker/Harley Quinn vibe will mean they won't be likeable enough to care about. It will just end up being a boring shoot 'em up.

      @@1faithchick7 Well, technically they DID show that in the trailer, but yeah. I see where you're coming from. It looked more like something Funboy would do. lol
      I definitely see a lot of things in this trailer that kind of ruins The Crow. In the original movie, Eric and Shelly were seen as innocent young lovers who did absolutely nothing wrong like how the sad story intended to tell whereas in the remake, you see them in a place that kind of looks like a Psychiatric Ward and you see them having sex which begs the question 'Are they ACTUALLY not as innocent in this remake?'
      And when the guy says, 'But you're running out of time to save her.' SAVE her...? Bruh, she's GONE gone. Now I COULD be overthinking this and maybe they're just doing a subplot where Eric has to save Shelly's soul or something, but that kind of defeats the purpose of a revenge story. Even though it doesn't bring Shelly back (and the same can be said to others who have lost the ones they care about), our boy Eric wants to give his victims a taste of their own medicine since they're cold and heartless people like in the Princess Bride where Inigo Montoya seeks revenge against the six-fingered man who murdered his father.
      When Eric and Shelly were murdered in the remake, it looked so quick and painless which kind of irritates me. In the original movie, they were murdered by these psychopaths in the most horrifying way which really makes you feel sorry for the character, and it feels all the more satisfying to see the criminals get what's coming to them.
      I know they're just trying something new, but you know what they say, 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'.

    I’ll start by saying I love The Crow. And being from North Carolina and having worked on the soundstages where it was filmed it has a very special place in my heart. And while it certainly didn’t need to be remade; I understand why they went with a different character design. This is a case of damned no matter what you do. If they had done a shot for shot remake including set and costume design ala Van Sant’s Psycho it would’ve been even more pointless. So while it may be an unpopular opinion, I’m glad for the shift in design and move away from soundstages to locations. I’ll judge the final project. Skarsgard is a damn good actor. He should be able to pull this off.

    There are a lot of things that seem to be missing (and were missing from the original film"). The author had experienced this kind of loss. The Crow's face paint isn't accidental, it's putting on a happy face to hide the pain. Additionally in the comic the wounds didn't heal. This is an important aspect of the character.

    The original Crow (1994) had a really gritty look to it, and while this Remake has ultra violence, it kind of screams more John Wick than The Crow. Part of the Crow is that he’s literally supposed to be undead. Instead this just comes across as a dude with powers that he can’t die like Wolverine.

  • @rebeccahughes7721
    @rebeccahughes7721 Місяць тому

    Here is what they were going for with Eric’s look…
    According to Rupert Sanders, the character's appearance is drawn not from the James O'Barr source-material comic book series, nor tragic star Brandon Lee's take on the character in Alex Proyas' original film. Instead, the director considered his star's natural assets, and gazed into his own past. "I think the beauty of Bill is that he has a disturbing beauty, and as he transforms through his loss he becomes this thing that even he can't control," Sanders told Vanity Fair. "It's that famous line: 'Whoever fights monsters must be careful that they don't become one.' That look was me in the '90s when we were squat-raving in London, [mixed with some modern influences] like Post Malone and Lil Peep. I hope people who are 19 today look at him and go, 'That guy is us.'" Sanders added that this image is from "the moment we realize bad things are coming."
    I know a bunch of you are gonna think I’m nuts but I personally like the look. So look, we all know that this movie will never live up to the original movie and quite honestly I think this movie was doomed from day one because first off they couldn’t find anyone to play Eric cuz all the guys kept backing out cuz they felt “unworthy” or didn’t think they could do the character any justice. The other reason is die hard fans of the original are never gonna give this movie a chance cuz in there minds the original is the greatest, which is true and the critics are just gonna compare the sh*t out of the two movies and pick apart every tiny detail! I will be shocked if this movie scores anything higher then a 60! So basically anyone that signed on to do this movie signed onto a god damn suicide mission. I personally don’t know how I feel about the movie so far, I mean I’ve watched the trailer over 5 times now and I’m still not sure what to think about it?! I don’t know if I’m happy with the fact that they are doing a totally different story line or if I’m mad that they changed everything except a few small details? What I do know is that if I do decide to watch the movie I have to take the movie for what it is and not compare it to the original, because if I sit there and do nothing but compare the two movies throughout the whole thing it WILL suck. So I guess my advice for people and hell for myself even is to just go into the movie with an open mind and not to compare the movies, because at the end of the day we all know the original movie is the greatest and Brandon’s version of Eric will always be the most iconic and greatest of all time. Not to mention if Brandon was alive today I don’t think he’d want his fans bashing the movie and cast.

    THANK YOU! your thoughts are much appreciated! I could not have agreed more on the mentioning that if this movie was an expansion over a redo (and of all avatars of the crow Eric Draven) there wouldn't be such an immediate irk reaction or slight alarm of "this is Eric?"

    That new “John Wick” trailer looks interesting, cool to see Keanu back into action movies ! Hope it’s good enough to revitalize his career.

      Here's a crazy tidbit. The director of the John Wick movies was in fact Brandon's stunt double in The Crow. The fill in scenes, EG walking towards the broken window after he puts the make up on where we only see his back, or any of the scenes in the apartment that were in shadow in the same scenes was him. They had such similar body types, he filled in.

    Kill Bill was originally the 2nd Crow movie. Miramax had rights to the script written by Crow creator James O'Barr titled The Bride, they gave it to Quentin Tarantino, who got rid of the supernatural stuff and added his own style and the rest is history.

    This is a rare occurrence where sticking to the whole story is beneficial. Shelley and Eric were innocent. I feel like Bill Skarsgard was done dirty

      The only good thing I can say about this degenerate design is that it does look like a washed-up hard living underground-gothrock scene musician, and from the trailer it looks like he and Shelley met in what, a rehab? So they saved each other. They weren't 'innocent' but they were becoming better and that's beautiful, and it's unfair that was taken from them.
      But... nothing against twig, but it feels like they wished they could've cast Zoe Kravitz and couldn't afford Zoe Kravitz.

      And Shelley was brave enough to try and help the tenants in her building, regardless of the danger. They were legitimately good, GOOD people. Especially for that city.
