The Crow reboot may have a Hangover
Relativity Media’s reboot of The Crow is flying fast into development. Juan Carlos Fresnadillo was just recently attached to direct the film (here), and The Hollywood Reporter is now hearing that Bradley Cooper (Limitless, The Hangover) is in early talks for the lead role of Eric Draven (portrayed by Brandon Lee in the original film). Draven was a “rock musician who is murdered while trying to save his fiancée from thugs. He is resurrected by supernatural forces and seeks revenge.” Cooper has met with Fresnadillo about the film in Spain, and shared their ideas for the film.
Production is looking to begin this Fall, so we can expect the role to be filled soon.

I disagree. He’s a good actor as seen in Limitless and A-Team. While cliched in the sense he’s getting cast due to his rising star, he’s far better than anyone else in the role. Remember the rumor of Mark Wahlberg?
Brandon Lee was immortal in the role, but the character lives beyond one man, as will The Joker, so I’m down for a new attempt at The Crow.

Mark Mark…YIKES!
Guess it could be worse, they could’ve been interested in Sam Worthington.
