** Two other sequels were in development, one being ''The Crow 2037'', a futuristic dark gothic fanatsy to be written and directed by Creator/RobZombie; and ''Lazarus: A Tale of The Crow'' which took place in the world of gangsta rap and was set to star Creator/DMX and Creator/Eminem. Neither film failed to materialize and were actually attempted to be spun off into stand alone films separate from the franchise before those plans stalled as well.
