According to Luke Evans who plays the lead in The Crow remake, the new movie will be pretty much the same as the original. The actor said that there won’t be any significant changes to the remake of the 1994 film.

Evans told ComingSoon.net: ”I’m Eric Draven. I’m the same character. Obviously, he’s been refreshed and brought up to date. We’re reimagining it to a certain extent, but the story and the plot is mostly the same.”

The original movie was very successful and Brandon Lee, son of legendary martial arts star Bruce Lee, originally played Eric Draven. However, there is a huge tragedy connected with the 1994 film. Brandon Lee was actually killed by the prop gun on the set. Evans revealed that is a fan of the original movie. He said: ”It was a very poignant film from my childhood, which I remember vividly. The soundtrack, also.” The Fast & Furious star also mentioned Lee’s performance and his tragic end.  ”It was such a solid performance that Brandon Lee gave. It was a very tragic end for somebody that probably would have had a very promising career,” Luke said.
