There’s light, or perhaps more fittingly, dark at the end of the tunnel when it comes to the protracted saga that is The Crow reboot, with Sony Pictures announcing that the Jason Momoa film will hit US cinemas on October 11, 2019.
There have been rights issues, the shutdown of Relativity Media, a revolving door of potential leads – Luke Evans, Jack Huston – and a roll-call of directors, from Stephen Norrington, to Corin Hardy, who in a twist similar to that Eric Draven’s fate, left the project before being resurrected by Sony earlier this year.
Having already wrapped The Conjuring spin-off, The Nun, Hardy was set to begin production on The Crow in February, so with cameras to start rolling imminently, and a suitable Halloween release date, it appears we’re finally going to get to see the film.
In a role made famous by the on the on-set tragedy which killed Brandon Lee, Jason Mamoa will star as Eric Draven, a rocker brought back from the dead to avenge the brutal murder of his fiancee.
