The Crow (2024) || REVAMPED

Summary:

“People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right.”

 

I've just finished watching the new Crow movie, and I'm pretty disappointed. Some elements were sure very interesting, and the action scenes were awesome, but plot-wise, not so much. As a huge fan from the '94 movie and unironically being born on March 31st (If you know, you know), I feel like it's my duty to share with you all my vision of what a Crow remake should look like.

I've just finished watching the new Crow movie, and I feel like we've been robbed! First, just take a look at those fanarts and redesigns made by FANS!

This movie could have been so much more! This story has so much potential. Some elements were very interesting, and the action scenes were awesome, but plot-wise this new movie was a dishonor to Brandon's memory. Where is the love that moved the original one? Bill and FKA had no chemistry nor development of feelings onscreen. In fact, they looked high for most of the screen time when they were alive! Also, I seriously hate the trope “Junkie Gen Z” I've seen recently due to the “Euphoria Effect”. Funny how boomers and millennials usually write Gen Z as a generation of problem kid, detached from reality and with substance abuse, when we're the most sober/clean generation so far (I know Bill and FKA are technically millennials, but their characters are in their 20s).

So, I decided to change the casting and added some lovely characters and elements from the '94 movie, the comics (majorly), and the TV series. Love, hope, and friendship will move this story! The plot will be of this new movie, with the villains and new characters, in addition we'll have:


🌟Taylor Momsen as Shelly Webster

This is the fanart that inspired me: a very Crow-esque makeup.

 

🌟 Ernie Hudson as Darryl Albrecht

A sweet cameo with him as an older, retired cop.

 

🌟 Faithe Herman as Sarah Mohr 

The cutie from Shazam is only 5'1" and can easily play a 13 y.o. teen.

 

I already have some parts written and will try my best to update regularly (maybe once a fortnight).
