A source close to the production exclusively revealed to
Comics2Film that Stephen Norrington's current draft of
The Crow reboot has been "very well received" by Relativity Media. According to their source, the project is moving forward and attention will now turn to casting the film. If this is true, expect some announcements within the next few weeks, along with a planned 2011 release. In the comics, a man brutally murdered comes back to life as an undead avenger of his and his fiancée's murder. Earlier this year Norrington told Variety, "[Alex] Proyas’ original was gloriously gothic and stylized, the new movie will be realistic, hard-edged and mysterious, almost documentary-style."
