The plan by producers to drum up good vibes for The Crow reboot was to bring on the comic's creator James O'Barr as a "creative consultant". He and director F. Javier Gutierrez have been at Comic-Con talking it up, and when asked about his job entails, O'Barr's answer wasn't exactly clear....
O'Barr: Well, all of the details haven't been ironed out other than creative consultant. But what brought me around after 20 years was Javier. Before talking with him, I was 110% against it. There was no point or need for a reboot. In my mind, you could throw a $100 million at it, put Johnny Depp in it and had Ridley Scott direct and it wouldn't top what Alex Proyas and Brandon Lee did. I explained all of that the minute Javier arrived, "Remaking the movie was a terrible idea and you'll never work in American again."
The plan is to begin pre-production in October, but they are far enough along to provide some early concept art of star Luke Evans in the title role. [STYD]
