THE CROW Reboot (First Look at Bill Skarsgard as the New Crow, post #166)

[Loiosh]

Never seen it. Not a fan of that series.

Neither was I at first, but once I got into it, it was great. It has pretty epic lore.

Momoa was really good in SG Atlantis. He played a member of a warrior race who had been tagged by the big bad guys in that show and set free so they could hunt him for sport.

An old football buddy of mine who ended up in films and TV played another of those "runners" in one episode.

Here they're examining the device to see if they can remove it but it's grafted to his spine.

I loved the entire series. It took a while to get past some things, but the universe they created is pretty spectacular.

 

[Loiosh]

He honestly had one of the only decent acting performances on there.

"one of"

Here's the gif I have to post every time there's a major update.

It's like a tradition.

Please tell me you didn't think I needed that clarified.

I was just posting Rodney, the king of Stargate Atlantis.

 

[Kardashians]

Calling @Kardashians. Oh and Momoa would destroy Conor Mcgregor.

Oh boy you know I already been here xD lol. But nice to know you remember who my men are xx

 

[Kardashians]

Other than Game of Thomas anything Mamoa has been attached to has been a pile of shit.

Eh, Road to Palamo wasn't too bad. I kinda liked it.

And I swear it's not just bc he smoked cigarettes in it and rode a motorbike x:

To be fair to me, your reply did imply that I made an absolute, and that your post would refute that absolute statement. If you had thrown a "don't forget this guy" or something in the body of your post, I would have known that you understood that, and wouldn't have felt the need for clarification.

 

[WalkenWouldOwn]

You know.... Alternative rockers in a run down metropolis, played by huge, roided superhero actors.

I've read the graphic novel a few times over and seen the film dozens of times. Obviously anything can be recrafted in a new era and done well if the right minds are put on the project, but I foresee this being just another pile of shit.

On the bright side, it can't be worse than the one with Edward Furlong and Tito Ortiz.

I think Tito was the better actor between those 2 BTW,

So you do think I'm an idiot who didn't understand that tiny sentence.

 

[ScarfaceJr]

I recently watched The Crow. It wasn't that great.

BLASPHEMER!

Never count out a good-for-laughs movie.


Death Warrent (Van Damme)
Lone Wolf McQuaid (Chuck Norris)
Basically every Edward Furlong movie (besides the two greats)

What the fuck? Brandon Lee isn't a good actor but he didnt hinder this awesome movie.

Shit, the soundtrack alone should make you fall in love.

I thought brandons acting was actually quite good in this and showed promise for future roles.

Anyway i like the movie but the script was a bit weak and left alot to be desired but the acting from lee and wincott and others did a decent job at covering it up.

 

[Ikuza]

Not like this.

Not like this.

 

[SoberAwakening]

I don't think he's got the acting chops.

I tend to agree. Not like Brandon was a world class actor, but Aqua man here is only good at kicking butt and being big and scary. He's not really the Eric Draven type.

 

[KBE6EKCTAH_CCP]

He is the GOAT Khal Drogo, and I don't think that he should be anything else.

In fact, they should have poisoned him IRL too.

I saw him in Conan and regretted it.

STP ftw

 

[God_Emperor_Of_Mankind]

I saw the old series and quickly lost interest, premise was good but still fell short.

 

[King Bastar]

Too jacked.

Anyway, I thought homeboy from Dracula Untold was attached to star in it?

 

[Dragonlordxxxxx]

Luke Evans dropped out of the role. Then Jack Huston was cast as the lead but had to exit after a few months due to a scheduling conflict.

Luke Evans Officially Drops Out of Relativity's THE CROW Reboot

Relativity and director Corin Hardy are searching for a new star for The Crow reboot, as Luke Evans has officially exited the project to pursue other projects, his publicist has confirmed to TheWrap. With comic book movies all the rage these days, The Crow is a high-profile project in Relativity’s development stable. The reboot was seen as having plenty of potential given the original film’s status as a cult classic.

Evans was poised to play Eric Draven when F. Javier Gutierrez was attached to direct The Crow, but production was delayed and with no new start date in sight, Evans was forced to pass and move on. He made statements to that effect in December during press rounds for The Hobbit but there was always the hope that Relativity could convince him to stick around as it scrambled to find a new filmmaker after Gutierrez left to direct Rings for Paramount.

Hardy signed on in early December but has been busy with post-production on his feature debut The Hallow, which premieres at Sundance this week. Now that Evans has officially parted ways with the project, Hardy will have the opportunity to put together his own vision for the film. Evans made his final decision in the wake of Dracula Untold’s international success of ($215 million worldwide) before Relativity hired Hardy, who will start meeting with new actors soon.
