The Crow Still Has Wings

Presumed dead, The Crow continues to seek his moment to shine on the big screen. According to a new report via The Wrap, the project, which has seen its fair share of tribulations is moving forward and will be Relativity's first production post-bankruptcy.

Director Corin Hardy continues attached to project, which will once again see Eric Draven return from the land of the dead to exact vengeance on his killers with the help of mystical crow.

The project has been through several setbacks, including losing Hardy, with the last one being in September when Crow producer Edward R. Pressman filed an objection to the project being included among the several assets Relativity had lined up for potential buyers.

According to the filling, the studio had spent "in excess of $7 million" on the project, which would have reverted to Pressman if production hadn't started within three years from when the deal was first signed, but with principal photography expected to begin sometime in the first quarter of 2016, Relativity is no longer at risk of losing not only the rights to The Crow but also sequels, prequels and remakes.

Over the years, several actors were attached to lead the project, but with all the legal and financial delays, none remained. The last star set to play the lead character was Jack Huston.
