movies

Fuck I hope Hollywood finally realises that they have really hit the the bottom of the barrel regarding remakes. Also, some sequels or whatever-quels have been hit and miss.

They need to focus on new fresh ideas, something new. Unfortunately they have to do something that is much harder now and that is not playing safe with proven IP. Make new IP, what ever gets the right team to be consistent with new movie ideas, maybe like Studio A24, will be in blue waters not fighting over the nostalgia against each other.

In the original, Eric and Shelly were normal people we could relate to and the other actors and scenes felt real. Now we have a hot-model couple and bad guy archetypes, all in a "gritty" world that doesn't resonate with us.

As an aside, crime was looking pretty damned bad in 1994 and we thought The Crow was a near-future reality.

The story had feeling of being written by committee. I think that was it's only real problem.

a general rule of thumb is that advertising budget matches the production budget. sometimes it's half, sometimes it's even higher than production (for smaller movies usually). so this movie probably cost $100 mil.

This person isn't one of my usual YT watches, but I really enjoyed this overview of The Crow related media. I had no idea the series ran so deep, or had so much nasty Weinstein influence.

Its a shame, there's so much potential in this series that our media apparatus is systematically incapable of making good on.
