After 15 years of languishing in development, 'The Crow' reboot is almost here.
Quick Links Before the days of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the DCU, The Crow was one of the first major superhero films that really spoke to audiences. Directed by Alex Proyas, the 1994 film was based on James O’Barr’s 1989 graphic novel of the same name. Brandon Lee, the son of legendary martial arts icon Bruce Lee, and a martial artist himself beat out more established actors like River Phoenix and Christian Slater for the lead role of undead avenger Erik Draven.
Before Skarsgard was cast in the lead role a variety of other actors were eyed for the lead role over the years, those being Mark Wahlberg, Bradley Cooper, Channing Tatum, Ryan Gosling, James McAvoy, Tom Hiddleston, Alexander Skarsgård, Luke Evans, Sam Witwer, Jack Huston, Nicholas Hoult, Jack O'Connell, and Jason Momoa. Momoa was even photographed in makeup as Draven, with stunning results.
Character actor Danny Huston , is also in the cast–though it’s not clear who his character is yet. But given Huston’s history of playing villains in movies like Wonder Woman and 30 Days of Night, Huston might be playing Draven’s killer and eventual target. Forrest Whitaker, Andrea Riseborough, and Norman Reedus were previously attached to the film with Riseborough playing the female version of Top Dollar and Reedus playing a character known as James.
Not long after that Cliff Dorfman was brought in to do a page one rewrite for the reboot. In July 2014, Gutiérrez dropped out of the film due to scheduling conflicts with filming for the horror sequel Rings. Later that year James O'Barr announced that he would be co-writing the screenplay alongside Dorfman and Corin Hardy was brought in to direct the film. Production came to a complete halt in 2015 after Relativity Media filed for bankruptcy.
