As of our last report, "Limitless" actor Bradley Cooper was in talks to star in the film with director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo ("28 Weeks Later") behind the camera, but the film was still in search of a screenwriter. That search ended this week with the studio's announcement that "Watchmen" screenwriter Alex Tse will script the remake, and Cooper will indeed play the role of gothic hero Eric Draven, who's resurrected from the dead to avenge his wife's brutal murder. Relativity Media's President of Worldwide Production, Tucker Tooley, and "The Crow" franchise producer Edward R. Pressman made the news official, stating in a press release that "Fresnadillo and Tse are perfectly suited to bring these beloved characters back to life, and to create a world worthy of this modern classic." The celebrated 1994 film was an adaptation of a comic book by James O'Barr, and was the last role for Lee, who was fatally injured in an accident that occurred while filming "the Crow." There have been numerous sequels and a short-lived television series, but they've all failed to replicate the success of the original. Filming on the remake was expected to begin this Fall, with Fresnadillo co-writing the script now that Tse has signed on.[/quote] [url]http://splashpage.mtv.com/2011/06/23/the-crow-remake-watchmen/[/url]
Wonder how it'll look, Watchmen was amazing. HOPEFULLY! Amazing, I'll assume. :woop::neckbeard:
wasn't watchmen just copied word for word from the comic and why the fuck do they need to remake the crow anyway and finally, you posted this in the rong place
Yeah, I don't think The Crow needs a remake.
It must have been hard to write the screenplay for Watchmen. lol
Someone who works on a screenplay compared to the story actually has a different purpose [url]http://wga.org/subpage_writersresources.aspx?id=171[/url]

What, Bradley Cooper? [img]http://i.imgur.com/Ldg3H.png[/img] Not gonna work.
ugh I hated the crow
I read it as 'The Cow'. I seriously thought it was a movie about a crime fighting cow.
Bradley Cooper... why? [editline]24th June 2011[/editline] I can only see name recognition being the cause. Bradley Cooper just has that redneck look and that wouldnt even fit.
Yet another remake thats going to shit all over the original. It better at least have a kick-ass soundtrack thats relevant to the actual style.
