But finally, after so many announcements dating back to 2008, there is definite and great progress in The Crow universe as it returns with a decent budget to deliver a decent cinematic outing. James O’Barr creator of The Crow will be serving as creative consultant to the new movie which will be another take on the Eric Draven character. This time around resurrection duties fall to Luke Evans who is most noticeable for his villainous role in Fast & Furious 6, playing Zeus in Immortals and Bard the Bowman in The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug.
With an estimated budget of $70million directing duties fall to F. Javier Gutiérrez and principal photography starts in 2014.
