Brandon Lee Movement
|
|
The Movement's
chief aim is to help perpetuate
Brandon Lee's legacy and sharing
his life with our the public, to information and
educate. We at the BLM feel it is time that
people recognize Brandon in his own right.
Brandon deserves
to be more then known as Bruce Lee's son, or for his last role in
The Crow. He was a gifted actor who had a life full of the potential
for greatness, and at the core did everything he could to contribute
something to humanity. It's about time people stopped comparing his
Death with his father's, and to at last see the magic Brandon had,
and which he has inspired in others.
Brandon was only 28 years old when he was killed in 1993. It is now 16
years later, and he still is a source of inspiration to his
admirers, most of whom always will wonder 'what could of
been'. It is vital that we remember Brandon for what he did
accomplish in his lifetime.
His small
on-screen accomplishments does not diminish his impact on Hollywood,
his effect on safety regulation laws in the film industry, and more
importantly how his life has inspired others to live their own
dreams.
The BLM will do what it
takes to educate the greater public about the real Brandon Lee,
there was more to him then just his surname. We will do this by
writing, emails, petitions etc. Our mission is to get Brandon's name
out there, the safest, easiest and legal way we can and for his life
to be accurately reported on.
We also
want to encourage other fans to join us, either by way of their own
projects or by helping spread the word.
Take
care,
Sam
Co-founder
and Coordinator of The Brandon Lee Movement
Note: I would like to
acknowledge my friend and co-founder Bridgett, who really pushed me
into taking some action on the behalf of Brandon's legacy, and who I
always will be honored to be associated with. Although she is a silent
partner these days, in the early days of the BLM she provided me
with much needed support and encouragement.

10.31.09
- Devil's Night and Halloween are here again
and there is always anxious buzz from Brandon and Crow fans alike
who are eager to do their own 'Draven'. More emails this year than
ever before to ask for advice in dressing up as Brandon from The
Crow. Many are even entering the Croween contest over at
crowfans.com. Good luck to all those who are entering. Nice to know
some people are at least dashing the trend to go as something other than Edward and Bella from Twilight.
Now for the
UPDATES. We have decided to expand an earlier project where fans
send in their thoughts on Brandon and his impact to us to pass on to
Brandon's estate. So, we have decided to expand this project by
offering fans the opportunity to submit their expressions via vlog,
blogs and even voice messages or podcasts. Be sure to check out the
section out, especially as it grows. Thanks to Lucian who through YT
gave a very emotive expression of gratitude towards Brandon and his
last role in 'The Crow'. Send yours in through link or to inquire.
10.10.09 - It has been a
while since we have updated this site, so excuse the delay. We have
updated most sections of the Brandon Lee Movement (both Brandon main
as well as the BLM main). We also have added two new sections to the
BLM page (one is to display fan created artworks, the other gives
BLM supporters the opportunity to tell us what kind of impact
Brandon was had on your life or made on your life, either through a
VLOG, Blog or voice message. These days with the technology so
widely available it should be easy.
12.30.08 - Happy New Year to all of our readers. 2009 hopefully
will be a even better than what 2008 has been. As some of you know,
we are currently working towards a Brandon Lee/biography research
project, which we hope will be finished by the year's end. Fingers
crossed on that front.
We do want to thank all readers
who have supported us over this past year, have signed petitions or
help spread the work...or even simply emailed us your thoughts.
Every little bit of contribution helps to making sure Brandon's
legacy continues.
We are hoping to make a new
announcement about the Walk of Fame STAR campaign soon, we just need
clearance for that to happen...stay tuned.
12.19.08
- In case you have been living in a cave
for the last few days, the news that there are now proposed plans to
re-make the original film of The Crow, has angered many fans. While
for a number of years there has been suggestions that a literal
translation of the comic should be done, the idea that Stephen
Norrington wants to re-make a film that was already made and is not
outdated by any means, to many is rather concerning. Norrington
comments about removing gothic elements and making the characters
more realistic, also haven't sat well with the large majority of
fans. So, in an effect to address fans concerns, we have started a
petition to send to the makers clarifying that any plans to re-make
a film using the developed character of Eric Draven (Draven was not
the same Eric from the comic in many ways) that Brandon contributed
significant artistic input and ideas into, would not be supported by
fans, if it were copied. If they wish to do a literal translation,
fine, but the statements in the media indicate that it has been
proposed to try and pump new blood into the franchise, by trying to
copying what should be left well and good alone, and what has great
artistic integrity, is not widely going to be supported by fans.
Please check our blog for the latest opinion on this. And please
sign this petition to let Edward R. Pressman & Stephen Norrington
know that a original re-make of the film is not warranted or
supported, and what's more it will be only disrespectful and
unethical against the screen legacy Brandon created in the film.
