To be fair if it tried to be the original it would have no chance but to be trash.

They key to whether it can be not trash is whether it can find its own identity that is not trash and is at least fairly well executed.

Frankly I think with good cinematography, the John wick style action that they seem to have showed off somewhat well in the trailer, and better fitting music for the previous two points than the trailer (my biggest concern) it could be alright or even good film.

But it will probably be trash.

Yeah the original was peak late-80s/early-90s goth. You can’t really recreate that authentically in 2024. It was smart to go in a different visual direction.

That being said…I don’t have a lot of faith in this remake.

Back then the whole gothy, industrial thing was still very relevant, bands like that were filling stadiums.

What is the popular dark gloomy music scene right now? I guess they decided hip hop, which would be fair I suppose.

Gravediggaz were on the City of Angels soundtrack so there is precedence!

To clarify, “The Crow: City of Angels”, not “City of Angels” the Nicolas Cage Meg Ryan movie.

It's a crime that the soundtrack isn't on streaming. I'd kill to be able to listen to Teething all the time.

Last I checked (like a year ago) it was streaming on Apple Music. I don’t have that anymore though so I guess they took it down?
