The Crow: Wicked Prayer Conquers ComicCon
This past Sunday, Eddie Furlong, Tito Ortiz, Lance Mungia and Jeff Most autographed THE CROW: WICKED PRAYER posters at San Diego's Comicon convention for three solid hours. ComicCon organizers told the reps from Buena Vista Home Entertainment that THE CROW: WICKED PRAYER booth had one of the largest turnouts of autograph seekers during the entire convention. They were right up there with THE FANTASIC FOUR, BATMAN BEGINS and other mega-budget films!

People waited in line up to three hours to meet the cast and crew and get their autographs. The autograph session was only supposed to be for an hour. After THREE hours, ComicCon organizers eventually had to turn a number of fans away. I think this speaks volumes to the interest the fan base still has in the franchise and in the new film coming out.

In other news related, as we reported a few weeks back, THE CROW: WICKED PRAYER, received a Three out of Five Stars rating from"Variety's" "DVD Exclusive", which accompanies "Variety" Magazine to subscribers. The film received a FOUR out of FIVE Stars from the User panel of professionals who rate the film :http://www.dvdexclusive.com/article.asp?articleID=2185

The Home Video trade paper DVD EXCLUSIVE has a wide distribution through the home video world.  It's the home video business' most widely circulated Trade Paper.

THE CROW: WICKED PRAYER also received HOME VIDEO "PREMIERE PICK OF THE MONTH" in the same publication. This means THE CROW: WICKED PRAYER
will be entered into the competition for "Best Video Premiere of the Year" culled from the 12 monthly winners of the title!

All of this is fantastic news. Do not forget, we will be updating everyone about the prizes being offered in our "Wicked" Summer giveaway that will take place the 1st of August. We have some really cool stuff.

THE CROW: WICKED PRAYER hits the shelves tonight/tomorrow, get out and rent or buy the film and check it out!

Take Care.....Come what may

The Crow: Wicked Prayer Gets a One-Screen Theatrical Release
We have received some sweet updates for THE CROW: WICKED PRAYER lately from anonymous folks. The latest came in just today. THE CROW: WICKED PRAYER will have a one screen release in Seattle at the AMC Pacific Place Theatre on Friday June 3rd.  Thereafter, it will be released on DVD July 19th. 

This is great news for fans in the Seattle area. I hope Crow fans in that area go and check the movie out. I think you are going to be pleasantly surprised by the film. We would like any fans that make it to the screening to send us your thoughts so we can get the word out about the film.

Speaking of the DVD, it is shaping up to be a very nice release. The extras will have a more personal feel to them than the usual promotional fluff that are on DVD's these days. The extras are being done in the same fashion/style that Robert Rodriquez has used with his “10 Minute” features. We will keep you posted on that, as well as any more production photos that make their way to the net.

THE CROW: WICKED PRAYER Screening Pictures

While checking our email the other day, three pictures flew in from an anonymous source. The only thing we know about these are that they are from a party that took place after the Make a Wish screening of THE CROW: WICKED PRAYER on March 2nd. We will do our best to identify the persons in the pictures.

The first picture is of Jamie Christopherson, score composer, and stars Emmanuelle Chriqui who plays Lily and Eddie Furlong who plays Jimmy. The second picture is a group photo. On the far right is Lance Mungia, director, Jeff Most, producer, David Ortiz who plays Sherrif Tanner, Rena Owen who plays Mary, and the Crow fan for which the screening was about (not sure we can release her name, so will not). After that, not sure who the other folks are, a guess would be crew members as I do not recognize any of them as being actors in the film. The third picture is of Lance Mungia holding the guest of honor. A really cool picture. If you notice in the picture, the poster right beside/behind Lance is the actual guitar from the first Crow film that was smashed on the roof top. These photos were taken at the Hard Rock Cafe.

So there you have it. Like I said, we were given minimal information about these photos and don't know who exactly it was that sent them in. But we appreciate the look at the after screening party. Judging by the shots, the guest of honor looked very pleased and had a fantastic time. We hope and pray her condition improves and all the prayers and best wishes go out to her.

Keep checking with us for more information on THE CROW: WICKED PRAYER's DVD release.

The Crow: Wicked Prayer Gets “Thumbs Up” Review
Any person who has visited our site for a while knows that I have been vocal about how good the latest Crow film is going to be. Even in the face of negative reports from other sites with supposed “inside informants” who have remained negative about the film, I have stood firm in my communications to fellow fans that this film, The Crow: Wicked Prayer, was a step above the previous sequels. Well, seems I am not the only one. An individual was able to catch the recent Make a Wish screening of The Crow: Wicked Prayer and submitted their review to Aint-It-Cool. Click here to read the very positive review .  

Now this is just one person's opinion, so it is probably early to claim total vindication, but this review is consistent with other reviews of the film that have been communicated to me verbally. Beyond that, I know from everything I have personally seen that this review is in line with what I have seen. Thanks to Robert Shramek, Matt Reynolds and Digitalgungfu for the heads up on the story.

But it doesn't stop here. Stay tuned to ABaHB news. We are about to have a post in the next few days that we think you are going to really love.

The Crow: Wicked Prayer Coming To DVD July 19??  AND First Ever Top Dollar
Figure
It would seem that date is getting some major press on the web the last few dates. Back a few months we were alerted to the site VideoETA which had posted a July date as a possible release for The Crow: Wicked Prayer to hit DVD. Just the last couple of days, superherohype, comingsoon and Amazon have updated their sites with the July 19th date as well. More recently, Fangoria has picked up the date.

It would appear according to the Fangoria report that Miramax has officially announced this as THE date of release. I am staying cautiously optimistic about this news due to some things I am aware of. There have been more than a few DVD release dates announced the past few weeks only to be followed days later with news they were being pushed out. Not to be pesimistic, just staying guarded about my enthusiasm until that badboy is in my hands!!! Here is the actual update on Fangoria which was sent to us by Corvus and Concave Screem":

23: THE CROW: WICKED PRAYER finally flies in Dimension Home Video has finally settled on a release date for THE CROW: WICKED PRAYER, the fourth in the series spawned by the hit Brandon Lee-starrer. The movie arrives on VHS and DVD July 19; the disc will retail for $29.99, but no details about supplements have been announced yet. WICKED PRAYER stars Edward Furlong as the latest resurrectee, who takes on the
mantle of The Crow after he and his girlfriend (WRONG TURN's Emmanuelle Chriqui) are murdered by a gang of Satanist bikers led by Luc Crash (ANGEL's David Boreanaz). Tara Reid and Dennis Hopper co-star; Lance (SIX STRING SAMURAI) Mungia directed from a script he wrote with Jeff Most and Sean Hood. -Michael Gingold

Thanks to Peter Zagrzebski, Aaron Blaine, Chuck R, Tom Gayliardi, Kenny C, Kyle Mahler, Concave Scream, Corvus, Xeno Hunter, Benjamin Bracker and Brent Smallwood for the heads up.


Xeno Hunter also sent us this url, These are the Wicked Prayer production photos that were taken off the net some time back. Best get out here and check these out before they too get taken down. 


And if all that wasn't enough, Concave Scream also sent us this url to NECA for the first ever Top Dollar figure part of a Crow figure box set in the epic final battle on
the roof top with Eric!!! Check out NECA for this.


Thanks to everyone that has been passing on information. The week is ending on a major up note for The Crow!!!


Take care.....

The Crow: Wicked Prayer Composer Site Launched
The composer for the latest Crow movie, Jamie Christopherson, launched his official site mid December of last year. It is http://www.jamiechristopherson.com/index2.html . Go and give it a look. He discusses a little bit about the scoring of The Crow: Wicked Prayer (look under “current projects” heading). Also, you can read how his wife was involved with the score in the “About Jamie” section. She is mentioned towards the end of the section. Those that have purchased and/or are familiar with the popular Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth, he scored that game (has several film, TV, game & documentary credits) .

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……

Wicked Prayer Stright to Video
From Variety, this report from Bloody Disgusting says it all:

Dimension's 'Crow: Wicked Prayer' Flying DTV
After exchanging soft blows with an actress in the film and warding off rumors from other websites regarding the release of Dimension Films' it looks like we were right on the money. In a special DVD holiday issue of Variety, Dimension announced the next 'Crow' film as one of their direct-to-video DVDs for 2005, alongside Hellrasier: Hellworld/Deader and The Prophecy sequels. I guess the reports are true- the film is terrible, but you'll be able to judge for yourself sometime in 2005. Lance Munjia's film stars Edward Furlong, Tara Reid, David Borianaz, Dennis Hopper, Emmanuelle Chriqui, Marcus Chong, Tito Ortiz, Rena Owen, Danny Trejo and Macy Gray.

More to come...
