Reports are surfacing online that Nick Cave (yes the singer) is to write the remake of The Crow (yes, the famous film that was the last outing for Brandon Lee).
The Wrap are reporting that Cave will rewrite the screenplay written by Stephen Norrington, who will still be tasked to direct.
SlashFilm have also quoted plot info recently spilled by Edward R. Pressman, who is producing the film.
The setting is the southwest — the Mexico/Arizona area — and an urban [setting], Detroit or Pittsburgh or something like that…There are two locations that the film is set. Its initial platform is in the southwest and then it moves to the big city in the north, middle or eastern America, and then back.
The Crow itself is a creature in this movie — it’s not just a bird…It’s got a personality and a character. Not like Godzilla exactly, but it’s very different [and has] a more active role in the story.
