The director of the upcoming reboot of The Crow has revealed that he banned all firing weapons from the set because of the death of Brandon Lee, who was shot and killed while making the original film 30 years before.

Lee, the son of Bruce Lee, was accidentally shot in the abdomen while filming a scene for The Crow in 1994. He died in hospital, aged 28.
