Relativity Studio’s reboot of The Crow, which is based on James O’ Barr’s 1989 comic book series, is planning on shooting at some point in the first half of 2016. Meanwhile, the film has no star, having lost Jack Huston earlier this year.
Producer Ed Pressman tells Variety, “Corin and I are discussing as we speak who to go to, to play The Crow. We’ll find The Crow and shoot it in the first half of next year.”
Furthermore, Pressman explains, “Relativity is putting up a good amount of money to do that. They are putting up significant holding money. They are moving ahead in a constructive and positive way and Ryan Kavanaugh [Founder and CEO of Relativity Media] seems totally committed to this theme.”
Although the project nearly lost director Corin Hardy (The Hallow), he’s still on board and ready to take this project forward.
The role of Eric Draven, aka “The Crow”, has been a revolving door of possible actors, including Mark Wahlberg, Bradley Cooper, Luke Evans, and the above mentioned Huston. Now, that seat is empty and it doesn’t seem like there is anyone that is in the running for the tortured soul. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see what flaps its way into the discussion!
