This.

There should have never been a 2nd or 3rd or 32n'd.

Just a classic flick...

Wes Craven's Scream theme

He does not have a legacy. Bruce Lee has a legacy.

If he were not Bruce Lee's kid no one knows or cares who Brandon Lee is.

I'm not really sure what this is supposed to mean. Obviously Bruce had a larger body of work and was more famous. So what?

The Crow is a great movie. It wouldn't matter of Brandon Lee was the son of a dead kung-fu movie guy or a bus driver from Cleveland. I've bought the Crow on VHS, VHS Widescreen, DVD and blu ray. OTOH I have never owned a Bruce Lee movie and frankly if I've ever watched one from start to finish I can't remember it.

I'm not interested in seeing a remake to this movie. I just say 'The Crow' was a good movie on it's own and didn't even need a sequel.

Like 'The Shining' they didn't need to make a remake to that just put the original back in the theatre and I would have gone to see that.

Very good comparison in my mind.

And no, I'm not comparing Alex Proyas to ****ing Kubrick...

I think King was the driving force behind that. Kubrick made massive changes to his story, and at the time he didn't have the power to do anything about it (I assume there was a little STFU stupid little writer guy stuff going on). Second version is far more faithful to the book.

And no one but Stephen King gives a shit.

It was an average movie. Again, if he were not Bruce Lee's son Brandon would have never been a name anyone would remember.

Has nothing to do with you ever owning a Bruce Lee movie or even watching one.

It is the Bruce Lee name that has a legacy not Brandon Lee. Not sure why you can not comprehend this.

I certainly comprehend that your taste in movies is shit.

Read up on what Kubrick did its genius. He tore the source material apart and created a mirrored version of the book.

Notice in the beginning of the movie that there is smashed red vw Beatle as they're driving passed the wreck. In the book Jack and the family drive a red vw- not a yellow one. That was a visual message left for King that this movie was no longer going off the source material as its presented in the book...

Its been rumored that King was pretty full of his work and that Kubrick after meeting him was less than impressed and put off by King acting like he was doing Stanley the favor of telling him how to shoot the movie and acting as if he was speaking with some first time director.


Check out this site for more on the crazy genius SK plotted out with absurd detail into shooting the Shining. The guy was a high level genius and while you can poke at or dismiss some of what avid Shining fans have discovered if you read the site link I post, I think you'll have a completely new and profound appreciation for The Shining and the genius of Kubrick.

I would love to hear others opinions on the info from the website analysis of the Shining because even if half of what they discuss was planned out, I'm floored at what an undertaking Kubrick was able to achieve.

Jack Huston Exits 'The Crow' Remake

Jack Huston has dropped out of “The Crow,” Variety has learned.

The “Boardwalk Empire” star was slated to take on the role originated by Brandon Lee in the 1994 film of the same, but had to drop out due to scheduling issues. “The Crow” is currently in pre-production in Wales.

“Jack Huston is unfortunately unavailable to continue with us on ‘The Crow,'” said director Corin Hardy in a statement. “‘The Crow’ is an amazing project, and I am grateful that we have the time and patience to get it right. We look forward to unveiling our new lead and starting to film over the next several weeks.”

Relativity Studios is backing the film, and is eyeing Nicholas Hoult and Jack O’Connell, among others, as possible replacements. The studio is currently in negotiations to bring Forest Whitaker on board the project in another role, according to a source close to Relativity.

Relativity released its own statement about Huston’s departure. He joined the project this spring after Luke Evans (“Fast & Furious 6″) exited the production.

“Jack is a remarkably gifted actor, and we look forward to working with him in the future,” the studio said. “Corin Hardy has a tremendous vision for ‘The Crow,’ and we are working closely with him to continue prepping the movie and supporting him as he brings his vision to the bigscreen.”

Huston’s upcoming projects include “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies” and the starring role in “Ben-Hur.”

The original 1994 movie centered on a murdered rock star who is resurrected in order to hunt down his killers. Lee died during the film’s production after he was shot with a defective blank.
