A remake of The Crow has been in development for several years, but it’s faced a couple of problems. The first (and perhaps most significant) is a revolving door of actors and director coming and going from the film. The other is rumblings from fans that they don’t want a do-over, feeling it couldn’t beat the original comics of the 1994 film.
However Relativity Media is hoping to assuage their fear as they’ve hired James O’Barr, the creator of The Crow as “creative consultant” on the new movie, according to Variety. O’Barr, along with director F. Javier Gutierrez, will be at Comic Con in a couple of weeks time to give fans a hint at what they’re planning.
The Crow creator says, “It is important for ‘Crow’ fans to understand that Relativity, Javier, Luke and the entire team are working on a new adaptation of the book itself. I believe that this movie will stand alongside Brandon and his film as a valid work of art, and I look forward to collaborating on the project.”
Luke Evans is set to set (at least at the moment, with the history of this project, don’t be shocked if that changes) as Eric Draven, who returns from the grave as The Crow on a mission to avenge his wife’s murder, so that his soul can finally rest.
