Crow Director Calls Remake "Ridiculous"

Back in Decembner I posted about how Stephen Norrington, director of "Blade," will be directing an upcoming remake of Alex Proya's original "The Crow."

It is based on the comic created by James O’Barr. It is about a rock musician, Eric Draven, who is murdered trying to rescue his girlfriend from thugs. He returns from the dead one year later to exact vengeance on his killers.

Though the original became a gothic-style hit that grossed nearly $100 million worldwide, it is primarily remembered for a tragic accident in which star Brandon Lee was killed during filming.

Brandon Lee, the son of famed martial artist Bruce Lee, was accidentally killed during the shooting of a scene in “The Crow.” A blank bullet struck and killed the actor during a scene in which Lee’s supernatural character is being targeted by gunfire.

Having just released "Knowing," Proyas spoke to Digital Spy and said his thoughts on the remake of his film.

"I have nothing to do with the remake of 'The Crow.' That's other people involved with that and I wouldn't even dream of remaking the movie, because as far as I'm concerned that's Brandon Lee's movie and that's why I finished the movie - in memory of Brandon. That's the only reason I finished it actually.

"So the whole notion of remaking it, to me, is just ridiculous and I'd have nothing to do with it, as I've had nothing to do with any of the sequels or the TV show or any of that stuff."

Do you think "The Crow" should be remade or not be messed with in memory of Brandon Lee's accidental death on set?
