So, recently
the powers that be FINALLY let the remake of The Crow die to the relief of fans of the Brandon Lee original. It’s Brandon Lee, son of Bruce Lee, who was
coming into his own when he was famously killed on the set of The Crow, I say relief, because most fans, even most director’ve been against
it for the aforementioned reason; hence, it being in development hell for, I
dare say, a decade or so.
So, what do
they do?
They go after
his father’s last film, Enter the Dragon,
to remake. WTF, Man, leave legacies
alone!
Yeah, it’s
kinda dated in look and other aspects by today’s standards, but if there was no
Enter the Dragon, martial arts films
wouldn’t be what they are today. Yeah,
Kids, face it, it’s true. Our man,
Jackie Chan, with his cray cray stuff, was taught by, none other than Bruce
Lee.
In short,
you’re not going to have Bruce reprise his role like they did Carrie Fisher in Rogue One, and speed him up or what have
you. It looked off in that film IMO, and
with the amount of motion it’s going to require to put Lee in the remake, it’ll
look like a video game. And, getting a
look-alike’s out of the question…Game of
Death, anyone? Look for the cardboard cut out of Lee's face on the mirror, because, at this point, he was dead.
It’s better
to legacies alone. You’re not to tarnish
his, but a lesser product will churned out in his name…and, that’s just bad
business.
What you
guys think?
Be good to
each other.
