The Crow shouldn’t have been reimagined because it’s “not just a movie,” according to director Alex Proyas.Released in 1994, the original feature film adaptation of The Crow was directed by Alex Proyas. After the first look photos of the upcoming Lionsgate remake were released, Proyas criticized the new look of Eric Draven, now played by Bill Skarsgård. Beloved actor Brandon Lee played Eric in the 1994 film, and it’s well-known that he tragically died in an on-set firearm accident close to the end of production. In a new post on Facebook, Proyas shared a CBR article about the remake’s negative reception, suggesting that much of the unhappiness comes from the perceived tainting of Lee’s legacy.Previously, Proyas joked that Eric was “having a bad hair day” after the photos of Skarsgård in the role were released. He added that “nearly everyone agrees the stills look kind of goofy,” echoing fan criticisms that the character might be too reminiscent of Jared Leto’s Joker from the DCEU. With that said, Proyas also noted that he wasn’t advocating for a boycott, encouraging others to see the film if they choose, as this was just his own opinion.
