Previously turned into a 1994 cult movie starring the late
Brandon Lee, the concept involves a man who returns from death to get revenge
on those who killed him, a movie that spawned a number of failed sequels. O'Barr wrote the original
comic to deal with the death of his girlfriend.
This new version will be directed by Spanish filmmaker F.
Javier Guttierez from a script by Cliff Dorfman (Warrior) with production
planned to start in the fall depending on various factors. Ed Pressman
(Pressman Film), Kevin Misher (Misher Films) are producing with Relativity CEO
Ryan Kavanaugh, Jeff Most and others.
The popular British actor pushed for the role over dinner
with the producers after doing his own make-up test in London with plans to do
full makeup tests before making a final decision.
Previously, Scottish actor James McAvoy was up for the role
but Hiddleston is arguably a much bigger star with a huge female fanbase that
could bring in a much larger audience for this version of The Crow.
