Jack Huston, who plays Richard Harrow on Boardwalk Empire, has been officially cast as the lead in the upcoming remake of The Crow. We had previously reported that the studio had major interest in Huston just a few weeks ago.

The site spoke with creator James O’Barr, who stated that Huston has, “…definitely been cast,” and that he was, “…really happy with that choice.”

The film is a remake of the 1994 Alex Proyas-directed action thriller, which starred Brandon Lee in his final role. Directed by Corin Hardy and written by Cliff Dorfman, the film will begin shooting in the next several months.
