Is The Crow a remake of the 1994 movie?
Yes, The Crow is a new take on the 1994 cult classic, directed by Alex Proyas and starred Brandon Lee as Eric Draven. The movie gained notoriety after Lee, then aged 28 years old, was shot dead on the set after an accident involving one of the prop weapons.

Both the character and story of The Crow are based on the graphic novel series of the same name by author James O’Barr. O’Barr was inspired to create the character as a way to deal with the grief of losing his partner who was killed by a drunk driver.
