In December, Relativity Studios chose video music director Corin Hardy to replace F. Javier Gutiérrez as the new director of their reboot of The Crow. Hardy is at the Sundance film festival showing off his feature film debut The Hollow and while he was there he took some time to express how much of fan he is of James O'Barr's graphic novel and the original film. He also shared what he would like his version of The Crow to be.
“I also want to open the story up in such a way that the Crow is now part of a world where there are the Marvel movies and The Dark Knight movies," Hardy told Fangoria. "I intend it to be incredibly emotional and brutal, and all the things you’d want from a Crow film. I want to make a movie that I would have wanted to see, as a huge fan of The Crow.”
