Crow reboot has stalled, studio has gone bankrupt

The Crow reboot has hit another snag. THR is reporting that pre-production has completely stalled, with an entire production crew said to have left the project. The blame, this time, lies with the studio, Relativity Media, which filed for bankruptcy on Thursday. This is only the latest in a long line of disasters for the reboot, leaving it perennially stuck in development hell for years.

The project has so far endured a string of high profiling casting exists and a revolving door of directors. Its star, Jack Huston, only bowed out of the movie a few weeks ago - following on from Luke Evans’ departure in January. Both actors were in line to play the lead role of ‘Eric Draven’ - a role made famous by Brandon Lee’s iconic performance in the 1994 cult classic.

The project finally looked like it was picking up steam earlier this year, with Jessica Brown Findlay, Andrea Riseborough and Forest Whitaker all in talks to co-star, but this latest hitch sounds like it could set it back for the near future. Are you disappointed by this news, or do you think it could be for the best? Sound off with your thoughts below!

Crow was like Robocop, first one instant cult classic S tier movie, everything that followed was dogshit, rebooting something just to milk that cash is well beyond tiresome.

Not fussed myself but who is actually hyped and eagerly awaiting for Ip Man 3 featuring a rapist?

Ip Man 3 will be released in Singapore on December 24th, 2015. No mention about release dates for the rest of the world: https://sg.movies.yahoo.com/post/126410521762/early-release-of-ip-man-3-now-slated-to-open

And if a trailer pops up, I’ll bump up a thread that I made back in 2012.

Naw he cant do Bruce Lee, lets all be really fair, he was by far the weakest link in SF, he had better being doing a ton of training for world warrior as well lol.

This movie from the 1970s looks a lot like Mortal Kombat. The tournament in the movie has most of the aspects of the 1st Mortal Kombat tournament. Even some of the characters looks like MK characters:

Don_Barracuda · August 24, 2015, 10:23pm

Mind Blown…

Fuck you Daniel!

Again, why did I never notice this lol!

Someone mentioned in the comments that Tony Jaa is a stuntman in this film just like Jackie Chan was in ETD.

crucades · August 24, 2015, 11:18pm

Jonny de escalates the situation, haha fucking dying over here, he beat the shit outta that kid.

Rhio2k · August 25, 2015, 12:51am

Seriously, wtf: Daniel won with a flagrantly illegal move.

Wil · August 25, 2015, 4:01am

Daniel LaRusso was charged and imprisoned for his actions. That’s why he was nowhere to be found in the later Karate Kid movies.

Wil · August 25, 2015, 4:08am

According to IMDB, he was a stunt double for Robin Shou in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation.

maxx · August 25, 2015, 5:22pm

Blond people are never actually villains. People have to realise this o.O we’re innocent.
