The Crow reboot producer is surprised the original filmmakers aren't more accepting of the new movie (www.joblo.com)

Unfortunately, the film hasn’t exactly been accepted with open arms, with some members of the original movie even speaking out against it, which came as a surprise to producer Molly Hassell.

“It should make people proud,” Hassell told THR. “I’m surprised it hasn’t made the original filmmakers more proud, because it’s a step in a different direction, but it’s a necessary step to deal with the age-old themes of love and loss.“

This is the only bit of new news. The article then digs up older comments from the original film's director Alex Proyas and another screenwriter both being critical of this new version.

I'm willing to give the new version a chance but the way these articles are worded, it feels like they're willing the new version to fail regardless. I have a gut feeling this film won't do very well and then hit streaming services quite quickly.

uhg just no. the chance this movie has anything to say, and a good way to say it is practically zero. numerous writers and directors, years in the making. no one has vision of something interesting here... this is a cash grab using the original as a springboard.

gross, and not in a good way.

ill watch it, and i will be very critical. the original is an iconic piece of artwork oozing its source material. i cant imagine this will be worth the download.

100% agree about being critical.

But I'm still gonna watch it and have high expectations AND be optimistic because of skarsgard and FKA twigs. Which if it's bad, will make the disappointment even worse.

I would love for it to be good but between this, the trailers, and the feeling that the character is deeply rooted in 90s grunge rock, I just can't imagine this living up to the original.

Skarsgard is amazing, but I don't know if this is going to work out.
