All my fucking hate for the new The Crow trailer. Why couldn't you leave well enough alone, Hollywood? Why is this version of Eric Draven some failed rapper like Jared Leto's embarrassment of a Joker? Why is the background fucking lit up like a Christmas tree instead of the darkness of the inner city? I mean, seriously, you are an embarrassment to what Brandon Lee literally gave his life for.
I don't blame Bill Skarsgaard; in fact, I do feel a bit bad for him because he's a solid actor trying to fill the shoes of a giant. But when you're fucking remaking a character that already had a solid backstory, you better do it right, and thus far, they haven't.
They could've done a different character, of course. Easily, as a matter of fact; show that the Crow isn't just limited to one character, like in the comics. But this character has already been done. Let Eric, Shelley, and Brandon rest.
