Comic Book Resources ran an interview with The Crow producer Edward R. Pressman. He recently acquired rights to the comic book Feeding Ground, which concerns border patrol and werewolves, which you can read about here. But, I think most people will be more interested in what Pressman had to say about the status of his remake of The Crow, which we’ve posted below. Basically, yes, it is happening.
Speaking of “The Crow,” you’re currently helming a remake of the 1994 film. “The Crow” has had a rocky history on screen, and it seems the remake is still finding its footing in terms of creative talent. What can you tell us about the current status of the project?
The original 1994 “Crow” film holds a special place in my heart. The current film is a “reinvention” of James O’Barr’s graphic novel for the 21st Century. We’re thrilled to...

I really wish producer Edward Pressman would let Eric Draven and the Crow die. Pressman already got a hit film out of it in Alex Proyas’ 1994 adaptation with Brandon Lee, and he even managed a theatrical sequel with “The Crow: City of Angels”. Four movies (including two abysmal direct-to-dvd sequels) and a TV series later, and Pressman is still pressing on (ahem) with a fifth/rebooted installment. Pressman, who has just acquired the film rights to the comic book “Feeding Ground”, was recently asked about the status of “The Crow” reboot, about which he had this to say: The original 1994 “Crow” film holds a special place in my heart. The current film is a “reinvention” of James O’Barr’s graphic novel for the 21st Century. We’re thrilled to have teamed with director Javier Gutierrez and screenwriter Jesse Wigutow on this story, which remains true to the core of...

Comic book movie adaptations are at their peak right now, and we're seeing a wide variety of films make their way towards the big screen. One of the most unique ones circulating Hollywood right now is "Feeding Ground," a graphic novel that combines a "border story" with supernatural elements.
Comic Book Resources recently caught up with producer Edward R. Pressman, who was quick to snap up the rights to the material once he realized how great it was. The lengthy interview is definitely worth a read, but the elements of the story that Pressman found appealing for a film are particularly interesting.
"It struck me as a unique story of survival that is very distinctive from the typical 'border story.' 'Feeding Ground' is not steeped in border politics or stereotypes," he said, adding that he thinks this film adaptation will appeal to a wide variety of viewers.
