Some fast news for the scanning eye

Crow Remake Back On

 Cult classic The Crow is to be remade by 28 Weeks Later filmmaker Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. Producer Edward R. Pressman said: "The original Crow was groundbreaking cinema. Its gothic visual and musical ideas influenced a generation and cinema itself.


The 1994 movie starred Bruce Lee's son Brandon, who died on set following a mix-up with bullets.

Alex Proyas, the director of the original, criticised plans for the remake when it was first announced, citing Brandon's tragic death as the sole motivation for finishing the film.
Note mindfuck: Compare it with The Dark Knight and Heath Ledger



Ras Al Ghul returns in Dark Knight Rise

 He was a body double for Armie Hammer in ‘The Social Network’, now Josh Pence has a new role- a young Ras Al Ghul in ‘Dark Knight Rises’. 

Though the plot of the film remains under wraps, Pence’s role clearly indicates that Ra’s Al Ghul, Batman’s mentor-turned nemesis who died in Batman Begins, isn’t entirely out of the picture quite yet.
The scene in question is a flashback to 30 years before the events in ‘Batman Begins".

Oscar Winning Director Sidney Lumet passed away

 Sidney Lumet, the Oscar winning director who ad directed such cinema classics like Network, Fail-Safe and Serpico, is gone.TIME reports:

As driven, aggressive and purposeful as any of his film protagonists, Lumet directed 43 feature films from his 1957 debut, 12 Angry Men, to the 2007 Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead. Nominated four times for the Best Director Oscar, and receiving an honorary Academy Award in 2005, Lumet finally ran out of stories, clout and (the last to go) boundless creative energy. He died April 9, at 86, of lymphoma at his Manhattan home.

  1. I still have not yet watch the crow, but I heard Brandon Lee's was amazing. I have to watch the crow asap! Looking forward to Ras Al Ghul's villain role in the new Dark Knight and R.I.P Sidney Lumet!

  2. Aw, that's bad news about Sidney Lumet. This is the first time I heard about the Dark Knight Rises, and The Crow was pretty good. I liked it when I saw it on VHS.

  4. I was really sad to hear about Lumet. He was a great director and he made some classic films.

    The Batman movie news is cool too. I wonder who Joseph Gordon Levitt will be playing now that this new guy is on board. It sounds like it's gonna be packed with stars.

  17. I was really bummed out to hear about Lumet. What's sad is that I'm sure most people read the name and don't even know who that is. Oh well, that's life.

    I might be a bit interested in the Crow remake.
