However shortly after making the above statement O'Barr became attached to the remake project as a creative consultant, and since 2015 has been championing the remake, assuring fans that the movie will be respectful of the original movie, Lee's memory and the graphic novel upon which the film was based.

I think the reality is, no matter who you get to star in it, or if you get Ridley Scott to direct it and spend 200 million dollars, you're still not gonna top what Brandon Lee and Alex Proyas did in that first ten million dollar movie.'

In 2013 The Crow's creator James O'Barr stating his displeasure in talks of remaking the 1994 movie stating. Since 2008 various filmmakers have attempted to reimagine The Crow with a plethora of actors having been suggested for the title role of Eric Draven, including Tom Hiddleston ( Thor Ragnarok), Luke Evans ( Dracula Untold), Bradley Cooper ( Limitless), Mark Wahlberg ( Transformers: The Last Knight), Channing Tatum ( 21 Jump Street), Ryan Gosling ( Blade Runner 2049), James McAvoy ( Split), Alexander Skarsgard ( The Legend of Tarzan), Norman Reedus ( The Walking Dead), Sam Witwer ( Star Wars: The Force Unleashed), Jack Huston ( Ben Hur), Nicholas Hoult ( Mad Max Fury Road), Jack O'Connell ( Money Monster), and more recently Jason Momoa ( Aquaman). The Lazarus Heart is about hate and intolerance, and it's about fighting back against that hate and intolerance.A month ago Sony Pictures announced that the long-developed remake of 1994's The Crow has been scheduled for an October 11th, 2019 release. No, the novel tackles the endless struggle of non-cis/non-hetero individuals in a bigoted, unaccepting world: the constant fear of discovery, ridicule, unemployment, violence, and even death. But that wasn't the only injustice addressed in the book.
