The Crow Eyes Jack Houston

"The Crow" franchise has been undergoing various low points, from the bad sequels to the bad TV series, to the slow progress of a planned reboot, especially when Luke Evans recently dropped out as lead actor. Now, the project is looking to move forward with some good news; Jack Houston has now been picked to play the role, and it has been confirmed that the movie will be a faithful adaptation of the original Crow storyline.

The original creator of "The Crow" James O'Barr has confirmed that at the Lexington Comic and Toy Convention, that Jack Huston has definitely been cast for the role and he's really happy with that choice. Additionally, O'Barr also revealed that the film will begin shooting in a couple of months and, once again, made clear that this was not going to be a remake of the 1994 film that starred Brandon Lee.

This will be a straight-up adaptation of his original graphic novel, which is what got him onboard with the project after he had expressed disdain at the thought of a remake.

Corin Hardy's The Crow reboot used to be F. Javier Gutiérrez's The Crow reboot. The film, which has no star, was once going to star Luke Evans. Series creator James O'Barr used to be against the film being made- thinking the Brandon Lee original was hallowed ground- but is now onboard with the project with the understanding that it won't be a remake of that film but rather a faithful adaptation of his work.

The Crow will be working off of a script by Cliff Dorfman, who wrote the screenplay for the underrated Warrior back in 2011. No release date has been set as of yet.
