The Lexington Comic and Toy Convention is in full swing this weekend, and our own Jason “Jinx” Jenkins was able to catch up with Crow creator James O’Barr about the new version of the film that’s coming our way and just who would be donning the make-up!

O’Barr said that “Jack Huston has definitely been cast,” that he was “really happy with that choice,” and that the film “will shoot in a couple of months.” He also said the film will essentially be a straight adaptation of his original graphic novel, which differs quite a bit from the (still awesome) 1994 Brandon Lee vehicle.

Corin Hardy directs the remake of the 1994 Alex Proyas-directed adaptation of the James O’Barr graphic novel The Crow which is about a murdered man who comes back for revenge.

The Cliff Dorfman-scripted pic will go into production in the spring.
