Mania.com is reporting that director of the upcoming "Crow" reboot has left the project. When asked if Mark Wahlberg was indeed offered the lead role the director replied with this:
"I don't know about that story but I can tell you I'm no longer involved with The Crow,"
The director even revealed that an unnamed star was involved in the project but eventually rejected the script:
"As I had gotten involved explicitly as a writer-director my exit was inevitable. I was bummed. I had developed a genuinely authentic take that respected the source material while moving beyond it, and Nick Cave came in and added more depth, I think the fans would have been pleasantly surprised."
He also had this to say on Mark Wahlberg:
"I will say I think Wahlberg could be cool if they take a gritty blue-collar approach, He's a truthful actor. I think he could really ground the supernatural stuff."
