Casting For ‘The Crow’ Underway
by 
According to IO9.com, casting has begun for the next theatrical iteration of The Crow. In an interview with Ryan Kavanaugh, the producer shares quite a few details on the upcoming movie.
Are you casting right now and looking?
We’re looking. We’re in discussions….I think it’s something cool, we’re approaching it differently. It’s really a whole relaunch of the franchise, much more of a dark superhero type.
Will it be a well known actor, or someone we’ve never heard of before?
It will be an actor you’ve heard of, yes. We’re not ruling anything out. We’re looking at both, with the very well known and the “very talented but they may not be quite there yet.”
Later he goes on to mention that the film is not a remake of the original The Crow, but a complete relaunch of the franchise. Kavanaugh says everything about the movie will be different, right down to the make-up of the character. He also compares the new look and feel of the character to Batman Begins. According to IMDB.com, Stephen Norrington, who also wrote Blade, will pen the script for this movie. The Crow is set to release sometime in 2011.
