Jack Huston Leaves ‘The Crow’ Remake

At this point the development behind “The Crow” remake is becoming a potentially more interesting story than the actual “Crow” remake.  This film has had so many ups and downs and it just seems like the roller coaster is never gonna end.  The latest dip now is the departure of the film’s current lead.

Variety learned today that actor Jack Huston has departed the upcoming Crow remake.  Apparently the film is ready to kick into production in the coming weeks, but Huston had to drop out at the last minute due to scheduling conflicts. That seems like the sort of thing that would’ve been figured out a while ago, but there it is.

Director Corin Hardy seems undeterred by the news, though, as he stated that a new actor should be announced in the coming weeks.  According to Variety it would seem that actors Jack O’Connell and Nicholas Hoult are being targeted as possible replacements.  After seeing Hoult’s performance in “Mad Max”, I wouldn’t mind seeing him put a twist on the “Crow.”
