I wish I could tell fans of James O'Barr's ground breaking comic that they could breathe a sigh of relief. For although Bradley Cooper will not be playing Eric Draven in Relativity Media's remake, just wait and see who might be.
From THR..
Bradley Cooper was to have played the title character but sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that he has now exited due to scheduling conflicts. Cooper has David O. Russell’s Silver Linings Playbook shooting this fall and then dives straight into Legendary’s Paradise Lost, which shoots first quarter next year…the exact time Relativity plans on making the high-priority Crow.
But akin to the project’s rock musician who is killed and resurrected, two new names have surfaced as possible replacements: Channing Tatum and Mark Wahlberg.
Yes, as well as Mark Wahlberg who was previously in talks we have Channing God damn Tatum. I swear if you asked me to pick three actors that could be any more wrong for this role than the three above I couldn't. Anyway, it's by no means a done deal that either will take over as THR report that others may join the hunt-But that Relativity are keen to waste little time.
What do you guys make of this?
