A series of new actors, new directors, and a generally languished and protracted production has meant Relativity have struggled to gain any traction with their planned reboot of The Crow (the revenge tale based on James O’Barr’s seminal graphic novel, which formed the basis for the 1994 cult classic starring Brandon Lee), and the studio suffered another setback recently when Luke Evans left the movie. Though still clearly determined to move ahead, and eyeing new actors, it appears as though Relativity have already chosen their new leading man; Jack Huston.
Should he sign on Huston (best known for starring in HBO’s Boardwalk Empire) could soon be joining the film which currently sees Corin Hardy (The Hallow) sitting in the director’s chair, has a script written by Cliff Dorman (Warrior), and is hoping to have the cameras rolling this spring.
