In an interview between “Gods of Egypt” director Alex Proyas and Collider, the filmmaker stated his desire for Hollywood to leave the comic book property and his film of the same name “The Crow” alone in honor of Brandon Lee who died during production.
“You know, I’ve moved on and I just feel like it’s… I personally feel like it’s kind of unnecessary. I’ve said this many times, I’ve completed the original movie to honor Brandon Lee and that’s the sole reason I did it. I’m happy I did it for that reason. I sort of feel like it’s his legacy and I personally don’t have a lot of time for people trying to reignite that movie in other ways. So you know, to me, this is one situation where it would be nice if Hollywood kind of left it alone and let it remain Brandon Lee’s legacy.”
He continued by saying he knows “every few years you hear about a remake and it never really comes to fruition.”
And so far production on the remake has again come to a halt given that Relativity Media, the film’s studio, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Although for now Corin Hardy is attached to direct and Jack Huston is set to star in the main role.
