THE CROW Reboot Back On Track As Studio Looks To Begin Production In March
The Crow reboot lives again... and this long-gestating production saga continues! According to a new report, folks at Relativity Media have made the film their top priority (post-bankruptcy), and have locked in director Corin Hardy with the intention of commencing filming next March...
Just when you thought The Crow reboot was done, it comes crawling back from the abyss. The troubled production has endured a number of high profile hiccups - the latest of which came with Relativity Media's bankruptcy in August. However, according to The Wrap, the studio have signed director Corin Hardy to a holding deal that will make The Crow the company's top post-bankruptcy priority. Their sources claim that production on the reboot is now slated to start in March.
The film still needs to find an actor to take on the iconic role of 'Eric Draven' (made famous by Brandon Lee's haunting portrayal back in 1994). Both Luke Evans and Jack Huston were previously attached, but had to drop out. Hardy's continued involvement is encouraging though. The director's debut feature The Hallow picked up good reviews at Sundance - and he recently teased a "fresh and inspired" new lead in the latest issue of Empire. "It's not who you think..." he promised.
What do you think of this news? Are you excited to see a new big screen adaptation of James O'Barr's popular graphic novel, or do you think all those production issues were a sign that some movies just shouldn't be made? Sound off below!
