This is taken straight from Deadline
Apparently there are issues regarding the remake of the Crow regarding distribution rights.
It doesn’t seem to have any major impact on the film that is in production with Bradley Cooper in talks to be replacing Brandon Lee’s version of the original (see Cake Belly at bottom of the page).
What this could mean however is that there may be way more reincarnations of the Crow if the Weinsteins company have their way. As Weinstein co media’s Bert Fields says:
"Mr. Kavanaugh was not going to honor that contract. Apparently, he's going to sell these rights to others. He made a bunch of threats"
"Some people may submit to that kind of arrogant conduct, but we're not going to do it. If anybody tries to buy these distribution rights in The Crow, they are buying nothing but a lawsuit and they will get sued."
There’s a lot of back on forth going on at the moment. Looks like Kavanaugh is wanting to use the rights to make spin-offs with the occasional indie anime (which should of been done by now in this authors opinion. Either way, can it really be as bad as all the other rubbish we’ve had from the Crow franchise so far?
You can expect the Juan Carlos Fresnadillo directed piece to be in production soon. Any events change on this MovieCake will let you know asap.
