We're going to need to create a new file for this one. Let's file it under: What the fuck? Maybe awesome, definitely insane.
I've been lamenting the remake/reboot/what-the-fuck-ever of The Crow for some time now. While it has spawned a legion of horrendous films and an even more horrendous television show, the original Brandon Lee film is still one of my favorite comic book movies of all time. So when it was announced that Stephen Norrington was developing a new film, I was less than enthused, given his less-than-stellar track record (Blade = good. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen = apocalyptically bad).
Now? Now I don't know what to think.
Because the news broke recently that producer Edward Pressman has brought on a new writer. And that writer is none other than Nick Cave. Yes, Murder Ballads and The Boatman's Call Nick Cave, of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
