Have any of you guys heard anything about this?

Quote :

"Mark Wahlberg has played an eclectic range of characters throughout his Hollywood career, from a thriving porn star in "Boogie Nights" all the way through to his most recent role as a bumbling police detective in "The Other Guys." But his next role could bring Wahlberg to an entirely different playing field: the land of the dead. Bloody Disgusting reports that Wahlberg has been offered the lead role in director Stephen Norrington's reboot of "The Crow." The film is currently undergoing script revisions courtesy of screenwriter and musician Nick Cave. At the moment, Wahlberg's casting in "The Crow" is far from official, as the report only states that he's been offered the lead role in the comic book movie, not that he's accepted the part. For now, it's best to approach Wahlberg's possible casting as a rumor only. But it's an interesting rumor, to say the least, and one that jives with what producer Edward Pressman told MTV News about the film's leading man this past summer. "[We've got an offer out] to a major actor and things are moving ahead very aggressively, with the aim of doing the film this year," Pressman said at the time, leading us to launch a Secret Identity column in search of an adequate "Crow" star. Wahlberg was not on our list, but hey, he is a major actor, and we've been wrong before!"

I'm curious to see if they can find a way to kill Brandon Lee during production again since thats all that the original had going for it.

I tend not to put much stock in casting rumors or projects in the early stages of development, even with Wahlberg attached the odds of this actually getting made seem slim. I did think Nick Cave's screenplay for The Proposition was pretty awesome though, so it does seem like an interesting project.

Ever read about Nick Cave's script for a Gladiator sequel?

That was one of the hardest facepalms of my life.

thread title made me think that no one knew he had a small role in the original Crow movie

10/20/2010 9:00:24 PM

I think he should go back to rapping. He had so much untapped potential.
