This irritates me so much I can't get a coherent sentence typed out about it
Why ruin what is good and works?

What does that even mean? The Crow meets Pulp Fiction? The Crow meets Blairwitch Project? Words fail me. What's next? A remake of Bladerunner but not as dark?
This is just the stupidest idea ever. What the hell are they thinking?

It is 1994, a rather good year for movies as you can see by the attached top 25, The Crow was 24 but then time were different in that the rating system was different, see the other attachments for top R rated movies, most of theose would now be PG-13.

I've been complaining for years about remakes. Hollywood has lost all sense of creativity and relys on remakes and sequals for its money these days. The only thing people can do is not go and see the movies. Vote with your pocketbooks.

It doesn't replace all existing copies of the original version of The Crow.
And if anything, remakes construct a dialogical model for exploring a film's themes and essence. Think of it as an on-going conversation between the films and their particular visions.
Or better yet, if it upsets you so much, don't think of it at all.

While I see your point, you forgot something. They got the director who did LEG -- which was disappointing. And that was the last movie he directed (according to imdb.com). The Crow remake will suck.

The Crow has already been done to death.. Less then 20 years for a remake/reimagining is too soon specially when the Last (straight to dvd) Crow movie was released in 2005.
I can't get too upset about a remake of The Crow, since I didn't think the original was all that good to begin with. Like the comic it's based on, it's a forgettable gothpunk revenge fantasy. If Brandon Lee hadn't been killed on the set, I doubt it would have done half the box office it did.
I can see an argument for remaking it as a 'documentary-style' thing; say where it begins as a 'cold-case' investigation documentary, and then weird stuff starts happening on the periphery (to the ones involved in the murder, of course), keeping Mr. 'Black-and-white-goth-makeup' completely in the background until the very end (maybe even having the only view of the 'Crow-face' as the very last image on camera, 0.5 seconds before the credits roll).
In a case like that, I might see it; but if it's only going to be yet another take on the same story, I'd give it a miss.

This is what I'd call a 'partial' truth.
Juno, Hard Candy, Napolean Dynamite, blah....blah...blah...blah... are out there. Every couple of years a hit strikes and it gets a sequel.
And.... sometimes... just sometimes... the remakes are better than the original. Much better.
Sometimes it's technology. Sometimes it's sticking closer to the source material. Sometimes it's taking the source material in a new direction.
Remakes have about as much chance of being good/bad as any other movie in my opinion.
