While Relativity Media's planned remake of "The Crow" has already sparked litigation, the project continues to move forward with screenwriter Alex Tse now being tapped to write the script.
Relativity Media President of Worldwide Production Tucker Tooley and Edward R. Pressman, producer behind the "The Crow" franchise, announced today they have attached Tse ("Watchmen").
Directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo ("28 Weeks Later"), "The Crow" adaptation will be a "gritty reboot of the gothic iconic character Eric Draven, who returns from the grave as The Crow on a mission to avenge his wife’s murder, so that his soul can finally rest."
The pair also announced today that Bradley Cooper ("Limitless"), who had been in talks, is now attached to star as Draven.
"The original film is known for its breakthrough visual style as well as its unique production design and cinematography," the studio said in a release. "Fresnadillo and Tse are perfectly suited to bring these beloved characters back to life, and to create a world worthy of this modern classic."
Relativity and Edward R. Pressman Film Corporation will be teaming with Spain-based Apaches Entertainment on the production. The Crow is being produced by Edward R. Pressman, Jeff Most, Relativity’s CEO Ryan Kavanaugh, and Apaches’ Enrique López Lavigne and Belén Atienza. Relativity’s Tooley (The Fighter) and Apaches’ Jesus de la Vega will serve as executive producers. José Ibáñez and Pressman Film Corporation’s Jon Katz will serve as co-producers.
