I’ve been apprehensive about even sharing this news in hopes that it’s part of a bad fever dream but the persistence of this rumor is forcing my hand. The word on the net is that Bradley Cooper is in early negotiations to take on the mantle of the Crow.

Cooper recently flew to Spain to meet with the film’s director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (“28 Weeks Later”) who “sparked” to Cooper’s take on the character. Fresnadillo is currently re-writing Nick Cave’s script which was penned for the previous incarnation of the reboot that Mark Wahlberg and director Stephen Norrington walked away from. Edward R. Pressman, Jeff Most, Ryan Kavanaugh, Enrique Lopez Lavigne and Belen Atienza will produce and shooting aims to kick off in the Fall.
I’m not one of those guys that thinks we even need a new Crow movie to be made but what do I know? There’s possibility for greatness with a Crow movie as the original premise is ripe with entertaining potential. On the other hand it could turn out as disappointing as most of the sequels made. If they do in fact make this movie I’d like to find out more information to better opine whether I think it’s a role for Cooper. Yea, it weaseled it’s way onto the ‘radar’ with this.
