A Few More Tidbits On Norrington's CROW Redux...

Merrick here...
Director Stephen Norrington and Producer Edward R. Pressman are hard at work prepping their long-gestitating remake of THE CROW. To their credit, sounds like they're going for a markedly different interpretation of James O'Barr's source material (HERE) than we saw in Alex proyas' 1994 adaptation.

"The setting is the southwest — the Mexico/Arizona area — and an urban [setting], Detroit or Pittsburgh or something like that," he described. "There are two locations that the film is set. Its initial platform is in the southwest and then it moves to the big city in the north, middle or eastern America, and then back." [EDIT] "The Crow itself is a creature in this movie — it's not just a bird," said the producer. "It's got a personality and a character. Not like Godzilla exactly, but it's very different [and has] a more active role in the story."

...says Pressman HERE. Mexico/Arizona area. Wondering if "The Crow" entity/creature/whatever will somehow be tied into supernatural (Native American?) spiritual stuff? Hope not...thought it was a more powerful concept when left ambiguous. I don't know the comic source material terribly well - is The Crow's origin ever clearly explained or justified in the book?
