This is a tough one.  I loved James O'Barr's Crow.  The tragedy that occurred during the making of the first movie always made it hard for me to go back to the series.  Brandon Lee was a great guy.  I tried watching the "Stairway To Heaven" series but just wasn't impressed by the production.  I never bothered watching the sequels because they just didn't feel right.

Director Stephen Norrington feels it is time to bring back the Crow.  He will be writing and directing.  Norrington directed Blade in 1998 and "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen."

Norrington told Variety:
“Whereas [Director Alex] Proyas’ original was gloriously gothic and stylized, the new movie will be realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary-style.”
Maybe it is time.  As Brandon Lee's Crow said in the first movie, "It can't rain all the time."  I'll be keeping an eye on this.
