Why the fuck is some one re-writing it ? When Rob Zombie was asked to write and
direct it I thought the series was gonna get the treatment it deserved. For those of
you who haven't heard about it. The story was supposed to be about a young boy and
his mother who are killed by a Satanic priest. The boy comes back but is too young to
remember anything, 10 years later he grows up to a bounty hunter and starts
remebering what happened to him thanks to "The Crow". Over that time the priest has
become very powerfull and has assembeled an army which the Bounty Hunter has to go
through to get to the priest. Best part of all was that Trent Rezor (the band Nine
Inch Nails) was rumored to play the lead. It was to be this ultra violent kick ass
futuristic action flick which I hear will now resemble the shitty TV series more then
anything else. A great example of braindead morons who don't know what the fuck their
doing. This really pisses me off cause I was a fan of "The Crow" even before the
movie came out. I loved the comic book series. Hell, I even died my hair jet black,
pained my face, put on a trench coat, strapped on my 18 hole boots and went to see
it on opening night. Which no one did for the first! Later all the wanna-be-me's did
the same for the sequel.
I ain't tryin to put your bud down Doc! I just hope he does "The Crow" some justice!

didn't deserve the lead...The story was great, I liked that idea, but it was

The Rob Zombie project may be resurrected as a non-CROW film. The
reason that it was pulled was that the boys at Dimension liked it TOO
much - they thought the supporting characters were more interesting
than the Crow aspects of the picture, and wanted to make them the
focus for an all-new (and hopefully franchisable) film.

British director Bharat Nalluri (responsible for the critically-panned DOWNTIME) is
directing.

to swallow diasaster after disaster happening to someone as dull as
Paul "Not a proper Doctor Who" McGann.

Stop me if I've told you this story before, but when my mate (who wrote DOWNTIME) told me
who they'd cast as the lead, I quipped "Oh, the George Lazenby of DR WHO!". He was quite
amused by this epithet and happened to quote it on the set -- with Paul McGann right behind
him...

I disagree - McCoy's second season had some top drawer writing - Ben
Aaronovitch's two stories, "Battlefield" and "Remembrance of the
Daleks" were great, as was "Curse of Fenric". The relationship
between the Doctor and Ace was the most mature and sophisticated that
that show ever saw.

Just sticking my cranial appendage around the door of this newsgroup to note
the following:
This remark about Lazenby couldn't have been much of a shock to Paul McGann on
the set of "Downtime", since he'd also heard it while shooting "Doctor Who",
approximately a year and half earlier. A documentary called "Bidding Adieu" was
filmed at that time, containing many exerpts of a joint interview with McGann
and Sylvester McCoy, who are friends. At one point the offscreen interviewer
says in a cheerful tone of voice to Paul, "If it stops right here, how would
you feel about being the George Lazenby of Doctor Who?"
To which the actor replies, with a laugh, "Quite happy, thank you very much!
Yeah, the George Lazenby..." (McCoy laughs offscreen) Paul goes on, "Don't
think I haven't thought about it. Wouldn't bother me, mate." Then he goes on
to say that he's enjoying making the film in the here and now, is not trying
to anticipate what will happen, and that he recognizes that the role is
interchangable by its very nature.
This "George Lazenby" interchange followed a fairly extensive series of
remarks by McGann about the purely statistical unlikelihood of the film's going
to series, since most pilots don't make it..
As to the "dullness" of the character he played in "Downtime", that was sort of
the point. The two protagonists were ordinary people (in the sense of not
being cops or intelligence agents or superheroes or any other sort of specially
trained expert) trying to save themselves from an extremely dangerous
situation. Psychologically, I found the two charactes far from dull.
Paul himselff was not, however, particularly pleased with the way "Downtime"
came out.
The eternally debatable issue of "Doctor Who" aside, the person who finds
McGann's performances dull may not be interested in the subtle, naturalistic
style he practices. In general, he's very well-thought-of in the UK.

"Subtle, naturalistic style". Hmmmm.... dull basically. And I am in
the UK.
I liked Lazenby much better than Connery as Bond by the way.

Yes. The least entertaining of the McGann brothers, and by Christ,
there's some stiff competition for »that« title!
> I liked Lazenby much better than Connery as Bond by the way.
Me too. There's an excellent essay in an old 'Movie Collector' magazine
about this, called 'Bond at his best?'. Lazenby is much more convincing
in his first outing as Bond than either Connery or Moore were. I'm
certain he would have grown into the rôle nicely...

Do you guys really think Lazenby is better the Connery or Moore as Bond?
Surely not! 0_o

I too am a fan of Connery's. Perhaps it's the Scottish in my genes, but
I think he's great. Why did they stick an Aussie in when Connery would
be a natural for the lead in "Braveheart"?

I'm afraid that, for me, Roger Moore is Bond. However, I would place
Lazenby next, then Brosnan, then Connery and finally Mr Dalton, who
while being a very nice bloke (I met him at my sister's wedding) was
not my idea of Bond.

Yes ! I've got that issue. In fact, I think it was the last issue
before the magazine folded.

Sorry for sitting on the fence here, but I like Moore and Connery equally as
Bond. The rest were / are amateurs compared to them IMO. Also, I'm not too
keen on how they've tried to make Bond more '90s' and PC over the last few
movies. Our Rog wouldn't have stood for it, I tell ya! ;)

I think he was better than Connery, and he »might« have gone on to be
better than Moore was. It's just a pity we never got the chance to see
him really make the rôle his own. He's a riot in RETURN OF THE MAN FROM UNCLE.

Pale and flabby it may be - hey, I'm under no illusions as to my Adonis-like

probably a wee bit more Celtic than half the gits in "Braveheart."

Be realistic. Connery doesn't LOOK like a fighter, he looks OLD, and he
didn't direct the movie.

That's a good idea.

My maternal grandfather emigrated here from Inverness, my maternal
grandmother from London, my paternal grandmother from the Orkneys, and
my paternal great-great-grandfather from somewhere in northern England,
we haven't quite nailed it down yet. A cousin on my father's side has
spent 30 years tracing that branch of my family's heritage, fully
verified, to one of Robert the Bruce's offspring. The connection between
him and R the B is a bit dodgy but it's generally accepted that he is a
son. Shall I forward you the paperwork?

That's the most amusing thing about the Scots (well, apart from the
drinking of course). They all flee the place at the earliest possible
opportunity. But you've gotta love the fiercely proud "tartan army" that
drone on endlessly about how wonderful the place is from their
townhouses in London and their beachfront homes in Malaga (cf. Connery).

*I* consider my nationality to be Canadian, but the government here
doesn't recognize that and insist we hyphenate ourselves. I put it down
anyway. However, my background is 50/50. I guess that makes me a
Canengscot.

Did anyone else see Rog on 'So Graham Norton' a couple of weeks ago? He
was on top form, and looked a lot more like James Bond than your
coffin-polishing Scot does these days.
FrMerrin
Yes, I thought he was excellent. He looked fabulous and had a great
gleam in his eye. One of the few celebrities to effectively combat
Norton's lethal innuendo.

I loved the moment when Norton mentioned a sum in francs and Rog,
without missing a beat, asked "French or Swiss?". You see, the man »is« Bond!

Yes! I also saw the interview. Very funny and it was great seeing him in top
form. Norton always tries to ruffle his guests' feathers but Rog was Mr
Smooth throughout. What a guy!

Ys, "Entrapment". It's got Will Patton in it, which is good, and
Catherine Zeta Jones, which is even better. Sadly, Connery gets to
play tonsil hockey with Ms. Zeta Jones, which will personally make me
sick.
I saw five films this weekend, and I've now seen the trailer five
times in a row.

Yes, I was very interested in that scene. Shame they kept cutting back
to the grizzled milkman (sorry Doc).

Sorry, Mike. I think Connery just gets sexier and sexier the older he gets.
He's just amazing!!

WHOA! I'm gone for a couple of days, and immediately I'm labelled a
closet homosexual? All right, Mr. Masculine, would you care to explain
why there's a two-woman supply of panties in your supposedly
one-female household?

Well, I guess that explains the pair of panties in the chafing dish . .
