They're Making Another Crow Movie

I'm tired of remakes, but apparently this isn't a remake, or a continuation. Then what is it ? A prequel? Nope. I'll let Slahfilm explain:
We’ve known that Blade director, Stephen Norrington, was scribing a theatrical remake of 1994’s The Crow for almost a year now by following all the milky Goth tears. And now, according to an unidentified source via Mania, Norrington has finally submitted his script to Relativity Media (The Wolf Man, A Serious Man), where it has been “very well received.”

Last year Norrington was quoted with the following: [the film will be] “realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary-style” compared to Alex Proyas’s ’90s hard rock noir original. Proyas announced on /Film back in March that he’s against the idea of a remake, but this is arguably like Tim Burton quibbling about future Batman entries. And it sounds as if Norrington is going for an R-rating, which is agreeable enough to hold out on the hate.

Blade was actually pretty good and I remember enjoying the Crow Stairway to Heaven series. I ignored all the other movies after Brandon Lee passed away so I have no idea if they are worth mocking or not. I remember when WCW was still around and Sting totally ripped off The Crow and thinking it was the coolest thing ever. I would stand on the couch and point at people with my tiny bat. Could a documentary style The Crow bring that back? I'm 25 now, sooooo it's possible.
