Bradley Cooper is in early negotiations to play the lead role in Relativity Media and Edward R. Pressman’s reinvention of The Crow, the 1994 adaptation of the James O’Barr comic book series that Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) has been tapped to direct. Cooper would play the hero portrayed in the original film by Brandon Lee. The project is expected to begin production in the fall. Bradley next appears in Warner Bros’ The Hangover Part II, which opens May 26.


This is going to be a guaranteed flop. Worst casting choice ever. The sequels had already turned this into a pretty poor franchise.
This guy is mostly known for comedies and doesn’t remotely look the part.
I love Bradley Cooper but PLEASE NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This man does not scream Goth icon to me, but we’ll see.
This is an actor I don’t understand the appeal of at all. I’ve never heard one woman call him attractive. Do men find him attractive? I don’t see men gravitating toward his supposed “charisma” and I find him grating.
Please, what is the hype?
NO,NO,NO!!!! FLAT OUT NO!!! There will never be anyone as great to play Eric Draven as Brandon Lee did. Brandon Lee put so much emotion & gave everything for “The Crow” even ended up loosing his life on set as well, no one can replace Brandon Lee in my eyes as Eric Draven. Sorry but a remake should NOT be made , let the GREAT Brandon Lee have this one as his own, don’t go trying to remaster what is already perfect because NO ONE & I mean NO ONE can fill his shoes. R.I.P. Brandon Lee…Forever missed even still after so many years have passed.
28 Weeks Later imho is a great horror movie. Unrelenting. Brutal. And Cooper is a damn good actor. After reading the graphic I was shocked at how the original movie strayed from the source and chose to be more of a standard vigilante action film. Don’t get me wrong I loved it, I loved what Brandon Lee did with the role, but it only shares an aesthetic relationship to the graphic novel which was so much more of a spooky, horror chamber piece. So if they’re going that route then I support the remake.
A very odd choice. Bradley Cooper is pretty average to me. I think Jonathan Rhys Meyers would be great in this role. I hope they reconsider
Now I am TOTALLY convinced casting directors drop acid while making their decisions.
I love Bradley Cooper (he had me at Will Tippen), total boyfriend material, but he is not right for that role. Please reconsider. The original was so well done, they need to leave it alone.
Bad bad bad. Please don’t. Brandon Lee WAS the Crow. As if we don’t have enough remakes these days.
This is the first time in years I wish there could be a way stronger then words to communicate what a horrible idea this is.
In every way the idea of a remake with this actor makes my skin crawl. Repulsive.
i think the movie will be great. hes a wonderful actor.
