Even though shooting doesn't begin till October, The Crow is it Comic-Con, with the comic's creator James O'Barr and director of the new film F. Javier Gutierrez unveiling a very early poster for the film, drawn by O'Barr.
Speaking to ShockTillYouDrop.com, who also gave us the poster, O'Barr went on to explain the reasoning behind the reboot (which in my mind shouldn't happen............I'll stop there before I rant again):
"What Javier told me was that he wanted to go back to the source material. Be as faithful as possible which would make it something entirely different. Proyas’ film is stunning and stylized. I mean that in a good way. Nothing negative about it. Going back to the original book and keeping it grounded and realistic and dirty and gritty, it really appealed to me. Even so much as to carrying over the visual metaphors like horses and trains – where the street signs always say No Exit or One Way. Exploring it with a different attitude appealed to me."
The film is currently in pre-production, with Luke Evans in the lead role, with principal photography set for October.
