Jason Momoa Shares Concept Art of His Version of THE CROW and Apologizes
We recently learned that Jason Momoa and director Corin Hardy dropped out of The Crow reboot just weeks before it was supposed to go into production. The reason they left was reportedly because of creative and financial differences with Samuel Hadida, "whose Davis Films holds the underlying rights and who was financing the film."
Jason Momoa has since posted a photo on Instagram showing a piece of concept art giving us a look at what the actor would have looked like in the role. You can also see that he's wearing makeup in the photo himself and hiding his face. The image came with the following caption, apologizing:
"I’ve waited 8 years to play this dream role. I love you @corinhardy and @sonypictures unfortunately I may have to wait 8 more. Not our team. But I swear I will. James O’Barr sorry to let you down I won’t on the next. This film needs to be set free. And to the fans. Sorry. I can’t play anything but what this film deserves and it needs love. I’m ready when it’s right. Love u Corin aloha j"
I'm sure some fans are sad to see this project stalled again, but personally I never really thought Momoa was a right fit for the role anyway. I'd be fine if this reboot never got made. It seems like Momoa thinks it could eventually happen though. He's keeping the option open if things get better.
You can check out the full photo below. What do you all think about the character design for Momoa and the fact that the movie isn't moving forward at the moment?
