It can’t rain all the time.
After years and years in development hell, Relativity Studios’ The Crow remake is actually happening. How do we know this? Well, the casting is underway and the studio has set their eyes on the film’s villain.
Andrea Riseborough (Birdman) is in talks to play the new baddie in The Crow, which locked The Hallow‘s Corin Hardy to direct late last year, reports Deadline.
Riseborough would play ‘Top Dollar’, who in the novel and the original movie was the baddest of the bad guys — yes, a guy — in the story of Draven, who comes back from the dead to avenge his girlfriend’s death after both were killed in a deadly attack. The evil is part of a larger syndicate led by Top Dollar, who was played by Michael Wincott in ’94.
“Boardwalk Empire‘s” Jack Huston was cast as the new Eric Draven, originally portrayed by Brandon Lee in the 1994 film of the same name. Claire Wilson wrote the adaptation based on James O’Barr’s “The Crow” graphic novel.
