Fans of the 1990s classic "The Crow" were likely thrilled to see Bradley Cooper attached to star in the lead role. However, according to The Hollywood Reporter, the "Wedding Crashers" actor had to drop out of the project recently due to schedule ...
Specifically, Cooper will be working on two movies back to back, shooting "Silver Linings Playbook" and then a film adaptation of John Milton's "Paradise Lost" in the spring. This marks just the latest setback for the reboot, which has included a legal battle between production company Relativity and The Weinstein Company.
The departure of Cooper has raised questions over who will play the lead role, and the news source reports that Mark Wahlberg may be the leading candidate. "Dear John" actor Channing Tatum has also been named as a possible replacement.
One thing that hasn't changed is that Juan Carlos Fresnadillo is signed on to direct. Fresnadillo has some familiarly with helming dark action movies, famously directing the thriller "28 Weeks Later" and "Intatcto."
