This new project is actually a serious trouble for Relativity Studios. It’s the first film they’re going to release after their bankruptcy. For a long period of time the studio, they’ve been trying to revive The Crow. They’ve spent years for it but haven’t got any positive result, however they say that The Crow is their highest priority.

The filming was postponed for many times and a number of actors fell out from the cast because of that. The curious fact is that the film has no leading start at the moment. Bradley Cooper, Luke Evans, and Jack Huston invited to participate in the filming were forced to leave the project because of constant delays in production.
