The 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:first look at The Crow reboot has dropped giving us our first glance at Bill Skarsgård as Eric Draven, but despite support from fans, it looks like the remake doesn't have the s🦄eal of approval from the original movie’s director. 

The director of the 1994 cult classic, Alex Proyas, posted one of the first look images to hi🦩s personal Facebook account (H/T ) with the caption: "Eric Draven's having a bad hair day. Next reboot thanks."

, fans of the original had a lot to say. "Please tell me this isn't the final version," said , whilst , "Come on man, if you are the crow you have to have long hair."

The original movie is based on the graphic novel by James O'Barr and stars Brandon Lee as Eric Draven. After Eric and his fi🤡ancee are brutally murdered by thugs, he rises from the dead with the help of a crow and begins to seek revenge on his killers. The flick has since become a genre favorite due to its gothic themes and impressive soundtrack which features the likes of Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, and Pantera.

In turn, the remake, which stars 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:IT’s Skarsgård and musician FKA Twigs, follows a similar premise and is based on the same comic book series. The adaptation has been in the works for quite some time and is directed by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Snow White and the Huntsman’s Rupert Sanders. 

However, many fans are in favor of the reboot, including our own writer who thinks that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Crow deserves a comeback. The supporters were quick to l♓et Proyas know their opinions, and it wasn't long until the director responded in 🍸defense. 

"For all those raging at me because I made a joke about a haircut - why do you care what I think? What does it matter?" asked Proyas, "If your enjoyment of a movie can be ruined so easily by one person you don’t even k😼now isn’t that kind of sad?" The director f🉐inished by making it clear that he wasn't trying to take anyone’s excitement for the film away, but was merely stating his opinion. 

The Crow is set to hit theatres on June 7. For more, check out our list of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best horror movies, or keep up to date with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming horror movies heading your way this year.
