The long-in-the-works reboot of The Crow has been almost absurdly troubled, having already hit so many bumps on the road already that itās a wonder anyone in Hollywood still thinks itās worth the trouble, but thereās one man who definitely thinks the various studios, producers, and possible star should just cut their losses and give up. That man is Alex Proyas, who directed the original Crow movie from 1994, and he has shared a lengthy Facebook post about why the movie should just be left alone so as not to touch the legacy of star Brandon Leeāwho was accidentally killed on set.
Proyas explained that he decided to finish the movie in honor of Lee, explaining that he passed on a āfilm byā credit so The Crow would stand as āBrandonās movieā because āhe would not be able to make any more movies.ā Proyas says that Lee was so important to that first Crow movie that itās only worth remaking or rebooting because of him and his legacy, so it āseems wrongā to use that legacy for a new movie. (Proyas, for the record, does acknowledge that there have been other Crow movies since his, but he thinks the origin story is too closely tied to Lee.)
