The Crow was supposed to start shooting within the next five weeks in Budapest and the movie has been in pre-production for a while now but, once again, the reboot has stalled. However, not only has director Corin Hardy walked away from the project but Jason Momoa - who was set to take on the title role - has also formally withdrawn from the project which has been in the works for several years.

Apparently, Sony - who announced a release date of October 11th, 2019 last September - was already close to exiting as The Crow's worldwide distributor due to creative and financial differences with Samuel Hadida, whose Davis Films holds the rights to the character and who was financing it

His inability to close a deal with Sony caused problems for the studio and that ultimately led to the exits of its director and star. What becomes of it now remains to be seen but this isn't good and it's the second time the movie has stalled after losing a director. Based on James O'Barr's graphic novel, The Crow was previously adapted by Alex Proyas and starred Brandon Lee who ended up dying on set.

Are you disappointed that The Crow isn't happening? Let us know your thoughts in the usual place.

Move over Superman, the Crow Curse is real.

@Spock0Clock - Seems like a pretty lame curse in comparison to Superman. We've had deaths, paralysis, loss of careers. Crow? One guy died (and that's more in line with the Lee curse) and after a series of movies that just weren't nearly as successful, the reboot can't get made.

@Spock0Clock - this news isn't bad. I like Momoa but not for this role. He's a big guy for the crow. I like a smaller person for this role.

@Origame - Well, the Crow has only been around for 30 years. On a per-year basis, I'd say it's on track to be competitive.

Origame - 5/31/2018, 10:57 AM

@Spock0Clock - I mean, it would be if those 30 years had some more terrible things other than bad releases and movie delays.

Boy! This movie is cursed!

Good, i dont want Momoa next to Brandon Lee's character ;-; nor do I want another remake

FASELI - 5/31/2018, 8:57 AM

@IctyoSapien - I have plenty of time for Momao but I didn't want him near this.

Doomsday8888 - 5/31/2018, 8:25 AM

Rather see Momoa as Kratos tbh...

No need to remake or continue this movie . Seriously stop it already Hollywood !!

Good. Momoa had no business being that reboot.

Mattygrand - 5/31/2018, 8:27 AM

Damn. Not gonna lie, this kinda sucks

nickh0801 - 6/1/2018, 6:07 AM

@Mattygrand - I agree. I was looking forward to it

How come the Aquaman movie is still set for release but The Crow remake is dead in the water? Also Flash.

DeadWade213 - 5/31/2018, 8:28 AM

This movie is probably not going to happen.

Bokis - 5/31/2018, 8:30 AM

Hahah this is like the 10th time this happens!

GhostDog - 5/31/2018, 8:32 AM

Momoa was an odd choice anyway.
