DBWI: Brandon Lee was fatally wounded in 1993?

I dunno how many people know this story or have heard it at some point, but back in 1993 when Brandon Lee was filming this movie "The Crow" (which I've seen, it's actually pretty good) he was accidentally wounded in a bizarre gun-prop accident: there was a dummy bullet (i.e. a bullet with no gunpowder) lodged in the barrel of a prop gun Michael Massee was using, so when Massee fired a blank in Lee's direction (blanks basically being all gunpowder) the dummy bullet was propelled out and shot Lee in the right side of his chest. It was just blind luck that he was shot somewhere non-lethal and was able to make a full recovery.

So, what if he had been shot somewhere lethal and had died? What would the implications have been for Alex Proyas (who directed "The Crow")? What about for Michael Massee (who shot him)? And what about all the movies he never appeared in? (I mean, I can't imagine anyone else but Brandon Lee playing Neo...)

(OOC: In OTL, Lee was shot in the abdomen.)
