Here is an excerpt from the report over at
Variety. While I'm no expert when it comes to
The Crow, I'd say it's pretty great news that the guy who helped so successfully translate the Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' graphic novel to the big screen has been hired to reintroduce this particular character to audiences.
Relativity Media and producer Edward R. Pressman have tapped "Watchmen" scribe Alex Tse to write their reinvention of "The Crow," based on the comic by James O'Barr.
Bradley Cooper is attached to star in the pic, which will be directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo ("28 Weeks Later").
Relativity's adaptation of "The Crow" is expected to be a gritty reboot of the iconic gothic character Eric Draven, who returns from the grave on a mission to avenge his wife's murder so that his soul can rest.
What do you guys make of this news? Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place and stay tuned for more info on this reboot as and when we have it!
