A few weeks ago, it was reported that Bradley Cooper - who was to star in the upcoming reboot/remake of the classic film The Crow - left the film due to shooting schedule conflicts. And now, Twitch Film is reporting that director has left the project as well. Rumblings are suggesting that Fresnadillo could do another reboot, Highlander, instead. Twitch also says that Before The Fall director F. Javier Gutierrez is a possibility to replace Fresnadillo.



And now Twitch has learned that Fresnadillo, the director of Intruders and 28 Weeks Later, is gone. Though nothing is definite on this front yet we're hearing rumblings that Fresnadillo may take over the Highlander reboot for Summit but Highlander or no Highlander he's not doing The Crow any more and the hunt is on for a new director with Before The Fall's being floated as a possibility.


What do you think of the news? Should Fresnadillo have left work on The Crow, or do you think he would've been a good choice to direct the film? Sound off your thoughts below in the usual place.

They're both from Spain, so if you don't follow foreign films, you may not know them.

I was thinking. Why would they remake the original Crow movie when the character has limitless possibilities. You could have any guy as a different Crow other than Eric Draven. As long as it is a good film I'd watch it.
