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.
