Well here is another great film thats on the list for a remake, Stephen Norrington has signed on to write and direct a reinvention of "The Crow," based on the comic created by James O'Barr. Relativity Media is in negotiations with producer Ed Pressman to acquire the rights to the film franchise and to finance the film.

Pressman produced the 1994 Alex Proyas-directed movie, in which rock musician Eric Draven is murdered trying to rescue his girlfriend from thugs, and returns from the dead one year later to exact vengeance. Though the original became a gothic-style hit that grossed nearly $100 million worldwide, it is primarily remembered for a tragic accident in which star Brandon Lee was killed during filming.

For Norrington, "The Crow" deal marks the end of a long screen sabbatical. After making his breakthrough with the Marvel Comics hero "Blade," Norrington took on a big-budget comic transfer with "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen." The director has not made a film since.

Norrington said his "The Crow" version will be different than the film Proyas made. "Whereas Proyas' original was gloriously gothic and stylized, the new movie will be realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary-style," he explained.
