Relativity Media have confirmed the main cast and crew of their soon-to-shoot remake of Alex Proyas’ 1994s cult gothic revenge thriller THE CROW will be in attendance at Comic Con in a matter of weeks. Perhaps more surprising is that director F. Javier Gutiérrez has confirmed he’s going to take the stage with original comic-book author and creator James O’Barr, who has boarded the reboot as a creative consultant.
Shooting is set to begin early in 2014 with a script by Cliff Dorfman. FAST & FURIOUS 6 and THE RAVEN actor Luke Evans is confirmed as the vengeance-seeking rocker Eric Draven, previously portrayed by the late Brandon Lee and who tragically died in an on-set accident during filming in 1993.
Barr added:
It is important for Crow fans to understand that Relativity, Javier, Luke and the entire team are working on a new adaptation of the book itself. I believe that this movie will stand alongside Brandon and his film as a valid work of art, and I look forward to collaborating on the project.

Why mess with perfection? Haven’t we learned from disastrous remakes like Total Recall & Fright Night?!
