AceShowbiz - "The Crow" is still happening despite Relativity Media bankruptcy, according to creator James O'Barr. During a panel hosted by ComicBook.com at the Twin Tiers Comic Con in Elmira, NY, James shut down reports that the movie remake was in jeopardy.
"It's still very much a live property," James shared, "The company, Pressman Films, that owns The Crow film and TV rights, licensed it to a studio named Relativity. And Relativity made like a hundred bad movies and lost money so now they're in financial trouble. So the producers are just going to take it to another studio if Relativity can't get backing again. It's going to happen."
"I talked to Pressman Films a couple of weeks ago and they said within two or three weeks, we should have it placed at a new studio," he continued, "Because the day Relativity announced that they were having financial problems, there were like a dozen other studios that called about getting 'The Crow' property. It definitely will happen."
"The Crow" reboot was supposed to be directed by Corin Hardy. Actors like Bradley Cooper, Mark Wahlberg, Luke Evans and Jack Huston were previously tapped to play Brandon Lee's titular character before leaving the project.
