It looks like the long-planned remake of The Crow will need to find itself another director, with The Hollywood Reporter revealing that Corin Hardy (The Hallow) has exited the troubled project, which was slated to go into production this month.
Hardy was the latest filmmaker to attached to the remake, but has now seemingly gone the way of previous directors Stephen Norrington (Blade), Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) and F. Javier Gutierrez (Before the Fall).

According to reports, Relativity and producer Dana Brunetti removed Hardy as director on the film at the end of January, prompting the Edward R. Pressman Film Corporation, producers of the 1994 movie, to launch a legal challenge to deny Relativity Media the rights to sequels, prequels and remakes of the cult film.
Surely it’s time to give this one up?
