It's still hard for me to picture Momoa in the role; he seems too macho and classically masculine. I wouldn't want a growling Eric Draven. Didn't have much enthusiasm for Hardy, either, so overall them dropping out doesn't phase me.
The character in the comic was 6'6", so he would actually be closer to the source material. Still, I knew when he wasn't shaving off the beard like he did with Conan, it wasn't gonna happen.
Best case scenario: This ends up being another Dredd.
Which, if you're fond of that movie (and I understand that many of you are), that's great, but there's very little that would shock me more than this being a box office success.
Yeah with the right team, the right writing and the right star, this concept could definitely still work. The Crow is ultimately a love story, those never go out of style.
The original is as near and dear to my heart. An amazing film on its own but also a great adaptation of a comic book story.
I never found any of the follow up projects even close to catching the sense of the original.
That said, Momoa as the main character in a film that was different from the first film but was closer to the original comic story (There's a lot changed. As good as the Lee film is, it is kind of a "Hollywood sexed up" version. ) I would be all for it. Perhaps even a streaming series.
I think if this would've been made, it would probably be something like the Conan, RoboCop, and Total Recall remakes. A forgettable movie that at best would just be okay, but most likely bad... and nobody would be talking about it today. Also kind of like the recent TV show of The Stand. People were talking about a new adaptation for years, then it just came and went.
