Relativity Media's remake of "The Crows" has hit another snag with star Bradley Cooper ("Limitless") flying the coop.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cooper, who joined the project in June, is leaving due to scheduling conflicts. The actor is instead set to film "Paradise Lost" in early 2012.
The Reporter continued that actors Channing Tatum ("G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra") and Mark Wahlberg ("The Departed") are possible replacements.
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."
Screenwriter Alex Tse ("Watchmen") is also attached.
Even before Cooper was confirmed back in June, the project had sparked a back-and-forth round of litigation between Relativity and The Weinstein Company.
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 Tucker 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.
