That remake of The Crow has yet another writer and director
Once thought dead and buried, but revived by the burning, eternal love shared between the Weinsteins and Relativity Media, the remake of The Crow is again moving forward with a new director, new screenwriter, and new opportunity for showbiz blogs to again use resurrection or, better yet, bird-related metaphors like “take flight,” or “winging its way,” or “regurgitating into the waiting mouths of the young,” only one of which hasn’t been used all that much yet for some reason. Anyway, the latest director-writer pairing to take a stab at it will be Spanish horror director F. Javier Gutierrez, who had an underground hit with Before The Fall (Tres Dias), and screenwriter Jesse Wigutow, best known so far for his rewrites on films such as 8 Mile, Eragon, and The Ruins. They join the lineage of people who have passed through the project already—Stephen Norrington, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, even Nick Cave—and are probably having an awkward, Harvey Weinstein-chaperoned blind date pretty soon.
