What A Process!

The video below is an up date of the crow reboot.  This film was made in June of 2010, and they were predicting for the film to be released in 2011.. well, that didn't happen.  There have been many complications with this film, so in my opinion they should just throw in the towel and drop the whole thing.  Yes, they now have a new director and writer, but I still think making this movie is a mistake.

Bradly Cooper Drops Out

Bradley Cooper has dropped out of ‘The Crow’ remake, but a couple of interesting names are rumored to replace him – and Channing Tatum is one of them.

It’s been a strange road for The Crow remake. We’ve been covering the film since 2008, and during that time it’s gone through multiple directors, writers, and lead actors. Now, it appears that The Crow is going through yet another change.
Most recently, director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo and Hangover star Bradley Cooper were linked to the project. Fresnadillo is still directing the film, but it looks like he’s going to need another star.

The original is better... Here is the trailer we all know and love.

The Crow Reboot Gets A Director

It looks like F Javier Gutierrez is taking on the project of being the director for the Crow Reboot.  I Hope he is up for the challenge.  I think we all could agree that he has his work cut out for him.  The question is: will he stick to the same ambiance as the original, or will be give it a new voice?  Is the film just going to be a copy cat of the original?  I think we can except this as a reality of we know he is going to attempt to make it better than the original. However, I do not think it is possible.

Here is a Great Conversation I had with my Fellow Fans About The Remake of CARRIE

Here is my original post that I made in January to my fellow horror movie fans.. we had a great conversation of how we feel about the remake of Stephen King's Carrie, and how we feel about remakes in general.

My Post:   "Ok.. so I heard that there is going to be a remake of Stephen King's carrie... I get really up tight about remakes because I feel that it will make this generation not appreciate the original... what do you think about remakes like this? Carrie was a classic.. should they really remake it?" (Bloodyholly) (my username)

Concept Art for The Crow

Here is the latest concept art for the crow reboot.  From this image it is clear to me that they are trying to stay true to the comic, and not focus on the original film at all.  I think it is better for them to focus on the comic rather that the original film because that gives them room to have a second take on the comic rather than reproducing the film.  I will say this makes me feel better about The Crow reboot, but I am still not on board.

Horror Movie Remakes can be Scary..

Director Rob Zombie's recent remake of John Carpenter's classic slasher flick "Halloween" proved that plenty of fresh blood is pumping in old horror movies.

The new "Halloween" grossed $26 million in its opening weekend on its way to $57 million to date. And there's more bloodletting on the way, with "Friday the 13th," "Hellraiser," "Prom Night," "Scanners," "April Fool's Day" and "Piranha" being remade.

David Edelstein, film critic for New York Magazine, could do with fewer horror remakes. He sees them as easy sells for studio executives who can make them on the cheap and franchise them to the public.

"They know they only have to cough up $15 million and that people have seen the original movie," Edelstein said. "So all they have to do is up the gore quotient and use the vocabulary of modern films, which involves more hand-held cameras and faster, choppier cutting."

Edelstein walked out of "The Amityville Horror" remake. He said the old films are "put in new packages by very lazy people. That doesn't mean there can't be creativity within that. But you'll never get the sort of organic satisfaction like a movie like the original 'The Hills Have Eyes.' "

Here's how some recent horror remakes have been measuring up the last few years, and thoughts on which movies are prime for a makeover.
