Relativity’s The Crow reboot has had so many stops and starts over the years, it’s gotten hard to keep track. It’s gone through several potential directors and as many potential stars, it’s weathered legal troubles and financial woes, and all along it’s suffered the deep skepticism of fans. So I totally understand if you don’t quite believe this next sentence.

The Crow remake is back on again. The Wrap reports director Corin Hardy has signed a holding deal with producer Relativity. Production is slated to being in March.
Both it and the 1995 original are based on the comic book series by James O’Barr about an man returning from the dead to avenge himself and his fiancee on the men who ended their lives. The original film starred Brandon Lee as Eric Draven. Sadly, Lee was tragically killed on set when a gun misfired its blank shell.
The film was successful and spawned a number of sequels and a television show.

The Crow reboot has hit another snag. THR is reporting that pre-production has completely stalled, with an entire production crew said to have left the project. The blame, this time, lies with the studio, Relativity Media, which filed for bankruptcy on Thursday. This is only the latest in a long line of disasters for the reboot, leaving it perennially stuck in development hell for years.
The project has so far endured a string of high profiling casting exists and a revolving door of directors.
Earlier this week we learned that Relativity Media declared bankruptcy, as the studio reportedly owes on several past projects and is unable to pay up.

There are few current movie projects that have served a more troubled term in development hell than Relativity Media’s planned reboot of The Crow. James O’Barr, the creator of the comic book upon which the 1994 original was based, has said that approximately $20 million has already been spent trying to get the new adaptation off the ground, but despite plans to begin filming this fall The Crow still doesn’t have a lead actor attached.
Relativity has bigger problems right now, however.
