THE CROW Remake Is No Longer Happening at Relativity, But It's Still Moving Forward
This remake of The Crow that Relativity has been trying to get off the ground for years has gone through so many issues, but it seems like the film project just won't die.
The last we heard was that the movie would start shooting in January 2017 with Jason Momoa in the lead role and Corin Hardy (The Hallow) directing. The production has hit another speed bump, though. According to THR, the rights to The Crow have left Relativity and are now with Samuel Hadida’s Davis Films, Highland Film Group, and Electric Shadow. They will finance, produce, and distribute the film.
The movie is called Crow Reborn, and Relativity developed the film, which is said to be a more faithful adaptation of the original graphic novel that was created by James O’Barr. There's no word on whether Momoa or Hardy are still involved with the project at this point, but they do want to start shooting the film next year.
At this point, I just don't care. The production for this project has gone through so much crap I just don't think there's a chance for it to be a great film. I think we'll end up getting a mediocre straight to VOD kind of movie in the end.
