Bosco685 Posted March 24, 2015 Author Share Posted March 24, 2015 I guess Jack Huston wasn't 'officially' signed on until today. Jack Huston Set As ‘The Crow’ In Relativity Remake EXCLUSIVE: The Crow will take flight with Jack Huston now set to play the starring role originated by Brandon Lee. Huston has closed his deal to play Eric Draven, the tragic hero in a film that will be directed by The Hallow‘s Corin Hardy and will begin production in 2015. He’ll do this after he finishes shooting the title role in the Ben-Hur remake that Timur Bekmambetov is directing for MGM and Paramount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEnglandGothic Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 A little off-topic, but yesterday was the anniversary (March 31, 1993) of Brandon Lee (28) being accidentally shot in Wilmington, North Carolina with a bullet fragment that had been lodged in a prop gun.

Bosco685 Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 Forest Whitaker Joins The Casts Of STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE And THE CROW The site also reveals that's after Whitaker finishes working on The Story of Your Life, he'll star in The Crow. Once again, the site doesn't have any details on which role he will take on in the remake. Now that is a big actor joining a comic book movie.

Bosco685 Posted June 15, 2015 Author Share Posted June 15, 2015 How many actors has that been now that have cycled through the selection process and then bailed? Jack Huston Exits THE CROW Remake; Nicholas Hoult & Jack O’Connell Eyed As Replacements “Jack Huston is unfortunately unavailable to continue with us on The Crow,” Hardy said in a statement. “‘The Crow’ is an amazing project, and I am grateful that we have the time and patience to get it right.

Bosco685 Posted July 31, 2015 Author Share Posted July 31, 2015 Pre-production on The Crow has stalled due to Relativity Media's bankruptcy THE CROW reboot has hit yet another snag but this time it has nothing to do with cast or creative issues. The recent bankruptcy of financier Relativity Media has resulted in stalling of the pre-production effots in the United Kingdom. The Hollywood Reporter cites sources who say that a statement will be forthcoming about the status of the film, but several of those involved have been released or left the project. Relativity Media's financial collapse has jeopardized several films while others have been sold to other studios. Relativity is fighting to remain a company as they settle their money troubles and claim that THE CROW will continue in the Fall under director Corin Hardy, but things could easily change in the coming days and weeks.

Bosco685 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 The Crow Reboot "Definitely Will Happen," Says Creator James O'Barr "It’s still very much a live property," said O'Barr during a panel hosted by ComicBook.com at last weekend's Twin Tiers Comic Con in Elmira, NY. "The company, Pressman Films, that owns The Crow film and TV rights, licensed it to a studio named Relativity. And Relativity made like a hundred bad movies and lost money so now they’re in financial trouble. So the producers are just going to take it to another studio if Relativity can’t get backing again. It’s going to happen. I talked to Pressman Films a couple of weeks ago and they said within two or three weeks, we should have it placed at a new studio. Because the day Relativity announced that they were having financial problems, there were like a dozen other studios that called about getting The Crow property. it definitely will happen."

Bosco685 Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 They do not want to let this one go. The Crow reboot still has a director but perhaps not for long According to Pressman, Relativity invested more than $7 million in the reboot, including $2.5 to exercise the options to acquire and keep the property’s sequel, prequel and remake rights. In 18 months, those rights revert back to Pressman if principal photography hasn't started (which would be three years from when the original agreement was signed). Now how does Corin Hardy, the latest filmmaker who was set to try tackling THE CROW again, factor into all of this? Pressman claims in his filing that he's in danger of losing the services of the director of the picture … who is widely regarded as a key creative element. Thus, the production of the picture is imploding even as the time to make the picture is running out under the Crow contract.” Pressman doesn't want any new bidder to be able to secure THE CROW for themselves, unless they guarantee they will finance and release the finished film as his contract stipulates. Essentially Pressman wants the ability to take the project elsewhere as the Relativity ship goes down rather than see a new buyer perhaps half- some sort of release just to keep the project under their banner.

NewEnglandGothic Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 And seriously, Prequel rights? What coukd the prequel even be about? Just think about it. Eric Draven couldn't have been the only haunted soul wronged in about 2,000 years. The Crow series might explore it's mythology as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
