A Boy and His Bird News January 2005
 January 31st, 2005 Tara Reid Talks The Crow: Wicked Prayer (briefly) JoBlo's Arrow in the Head recently spoke with Tara Reid via a phone interview for her new movie "Alone In The Dark". The topic of "The Crow: Wicked Prayer" came up and this is what she had to say: Lets side step to another project you bagged a while back: The Crow Wicked Prayer. I'm really looking forward to that one... Again, it's a film I really enjoyed making, it has a good story, its well written, its very well acted and I like it a lot. Do you have any insight as to when it will be released? I just did the looping on it and they're putting the music to it now. I think Miramax and Dimension were having legal problems, they just ended it and I think the film will come out very soon, in the next couple of months or so. When are we going to see you next? Apart from Wicked Prayer, I have another one coming out called Silent Partner and then I'm working on a TV show in February. Thanks to Chuck for sending us this link. As you can see from the answers she gave, they back up what you have been reading here at ABaHB about the film's progress and all the stuff going on behind the scenes with Miramax/Dimension. To see the full interview go here and check it out: Thanks again Chuck for the heads up. Take care.... January 18th, 2005 Disney & Miramax Closer To Split Agreement We were alerted to this report on MSNBC by Frank. It speaks to the fractured relationship between Disney and Miramax, who as we all know, holds the distribution rights to The Crow. As was reported by us a few months back, Miramax is looking for help in distributing their lower earning genre franchises from Dimension Films such as The Crow, Hellraiser, Prophecy, etc. We are not sure what this reports means in the big scheme of things as far as distribution of The Crow, but obviously, the quicker this mess with Disney is resolved, the quicker things will be turned out at Miramax/Dimension. NEW YORK - Walt Disney Co. and its Miramax Films unit have moved significantly closer in recent days to severing their fractious relationship, the Los Angeles Times reported, citing sources familiar with the negotiations. According to a report on the newspaper's Web site, several sources said a meeting of key players Wednesday night at Disney's Burbank headquarters seemed to represent a turning point in the talks, with emotions lowered and expectations heightened that a resolution was near. Another meeting was scheduled for Thursday night, according to the article. The sources cautioned the newspaper that negotiations could drag on, and two months ago a seemingly close deal collapsed. Disney and the chiefs of its Miramax Films unit, Bob and Harvey Weinstein, have been at odds for months as the brothers' goal of expanding movie productions and budgets has collided with Disney's cost conscious aim of returning Miramax to its low-budget and foreign film distribution roots. The newspaper said sources on both sides said agreement had been reached on several crucial issues, with Disney agreeing in principle to pay Harvey and Bob Weinstein more than $100 million in compensation. The report said Disney and Miramax would not comment. Thanks for the heads up Frank. Take care…..
A large thanks to Chuck for once again scouring the net and finding us fans more information on the Wicked Prayer production/post-production. Take care……January 2nd, 2005 Year End ABaHB Review 2004 Edition It is that time again. For us here at ABaHB to stop and take a look at where we have been, where we currently are and where we will be going in the Crow world. Before going into the trivial stuff of where our beloved franchise is, I wanted to take this time to offer our condolences and prayers to all of the families that have been touched either directly or indirectly by the devastating earthquake & tsunamis that hit East Africa and South Asia. We are reminded of the true power of this world we live in. For those that want to help, there are many disaster relief funds that have been set up via the web: The above link will take you to a page that has every single link that you can think of for helping to provide money, etc, for victims. Those of you that are members of churches or other organizations, check with them for other more hands-on ways you can help in this time of need. 2004…….what a year. It was a year like no other that I can remember since Irony and I started working together on ABaHB back in 1996. Though one of our jobs is to help separate the B.S. from the legit information, I can’t remember a time previously that so much of my energy and time had to be spent debunking false reports from so called reliable sites. The hunger for being the fastest with information on the net has created an ugly monster. But that is an article and soapbox for another time and place. Where does the Crow stand at the end of 2004 and the beginning of 2005? Merchandise Movies Suffice to say we hope to see The Crow: Wicked Prayer this year. The film was delivered to Miramax/Dimension end of 2004 and once they have cleared the film for release and have a distribution partner, we will see it. To see everything reported on The Crow: Wicked Prayer check out our Wicked Prayer section. I continue to stand behind my reviews of the script and the trailer, as well as some other inside information, that the film will deliver the goods to the fans. Online Community Crowfans has officially shut down and that leaves only a few of us still active in the game. Crowfanclub underwent a name and domain change and is now the Crowfansonline. Matt is still heading things up. With the demise of Crowfans we at ABaHB had to find a new domain to reside on. David Jeffers stepped up and offered us a place to land and we owe a big amount of gratitude to him for his gracious offer. Irony put in some serious hours and created a new look for ABaHB and here we stand today more alive than we ever have been. David’s community, Crowcoll, will be going through some changes as well. The hope is that we, Crowfansonline, David’s posse and the ChambeRoom can work together to make a more centralized and stronger online community. It has long been a vision of mine to have a community that was on the level of a Star Wars or LOtR community and I think we can do that with a concentrated effort from all those I have mentioned. The Future I want to thank each and every one of you for your support and assistance through out the last 9 years. As we head into our 10th year of operating ABaHB I want to let you know we at ABaHB will continue to do our best in reporting everything that is Crow related. I don’t have to tell you that the news has been lean this year. I don’t know what 2005 will have in store. Many of our sources have moved on to other things in the industry so we will be relying more and more on those persons we have created relationships through the years for information on what is happening throughout all the medias within the Crow. Of course, as always, a huge thanks you and pat on the back to my partner in crime, Irony. Man, I don’t know how the hell we have gotten through 9 years together on separate parts of the world. But we have made this thing work and I might say, work as well as any team could given we have thousands of miles of land and ocean between us. You have come to be a trusted friend and I appreciate everything you do and continue to do for the shear love of doing a great job. Here is thanks again for a great 2004 and hope that 2005 will see a resurgent of the Crow as a viable and vital force. LLcruize Last Year |
