Bradley Cooper Flies Away From THE CROW Reboot

Not surprising at all, considering the movie is still rounding up its cast and crew, Bradley Cooper ("The Hangover", "Limitless") has dropped out of the leading role of the troubled "The Crow" reboot, because he's already scheduled to begin work with director Alex Proyas on "Paradise Lost". This would be the second actor that leaves the project, the first one being Mark Wahlberg, although rumors of Wahlberg's return are starting to rise. For now the reboot still has a director, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo ("28 Weeks Later") and a writer, Alex Tse ("Watchmen"), and is expected to be released sometime in 2013, although at this rate, it might not make the deadline.

Another name rumored to replace Bradley Cooper is that of Channing Tatum ("Fighting", "Dear John", "The Eagle"), a young actor that's pretty hot now in Hollywood, but one that I honestly don't see taking on this role. Throughout the history of the franchise, there have been four other movies that never succeeded in equaling the original and neither of the four leading actors managed to even come close to Brandon Lee's iconic performance. There was also a one-season TV series starring Marc Dacascos as Eric Draven that was a lot closer to the spirit of the 1994 movie, but behind-the-scenes politics sunk it while season 2 was still in pre-production. Needless to say, this upcoming reboot is going to have a hard time meeting expectations.
