Very well known: Shia LeBoeuf.
Not quite there yet: Zak Efron, Joseph Gordon Levitt, and the werewolf kid from New Moon.
Don't shoot the messenger. I'm just passing on the rumour I heard.

Its Lee's swan song, its gritty, dark, funny and twisted. Everything points towards leaving it the hell alone.
They want to make it darker!! Maybe film the whole thing with the fuckin lights out!! Idiots.

Hollyweird must be bats**t insane.

...so it would be like rebooting Batman (again) and not having the Joker in it at all, but a different villain, if we're going to use the Batman comparison.
If I'm reading them correctly.

@FrankenPC: The second movie is actually pretty bad. Sadly, Furlong's Crow is actually the fourth entry in the series - and the second one to go direct to DVD. It is mind-blowingly bad. However, it also has the ever-hilarious Tara Reid doing her best to "act" and David Boreanaz looking completely out of place in what I believe to be the scene-chewingest role this side of Burt Reynolds in Dukes of Hazzard... From start to finish, it is a trainwreck of the highest order.
Also, there was a slight casting error with Furlong to begin with. He looks like one of those teenagers who has no business going trick or treating on Halloween...

Wait, there were FOUR? Who are these producers and where are their brains?

Wow- looks like the front man for DISCIPLINE, Matthew Parmenter. I bet Matt sings better too.

Please for the love of God someone tell these idiots that every Crow movie after the first one sucked it long and hard. This is one of those times where you simply cannot catch lightning in a bottle a second time. Let it go. Let this franchise rest in peace already.
Me to Hollywood: Just fucking stop with the remakes, retcons, revisionist bullshit already. Look we get it. You're trying to go with the 'sure thing' that's already got proven box office results, instead of taking a chance with something completely new. Well I'm telling you, take that chance. Try something new.

I definitely appreciate original ideas but as far as i am concerned the new Batman movies were far better than the ones from the 90's, so if they hold up to that kind of quality for a new Crow movie I am all for it.

Very true that there is not a whole lot to expand upon.
I have a feeling they are going to try and start a new franchise by giving his origin story and return from the dead in the first movie but instead of allowing him to defeat the bad guy and rest in peace by the end of the first movie they will probably stretch it to 3 movies and he fights new villains and that same villain that killed him through out the 3 movies. That seems to be what they are doing in these types of comic book movie franchises.
So they definitely can go majorly wrong with this reboot, but we can only hope they make a new Crow movie with the quality of the newer Batman's.
I also liked the first Batman movie from the late 80's but I also feel the two newer ones are much better.

Eric Draven was a blue collar guy and not a singer of a grunge era band. He was a regular gut and his death and his girlfriend's death were fucking tragic because they were done in by punks on the side of the road. Not some criminal kingpin. What happened in the book was more relateable. It's the type of crime that happens every day. It felt very intimate which I think was lacking in the movie.
I hope this new take doesn't become too big in scope as it doesn't need to be. Sometimes smaller and more intimate is better. #thecrow
