Back in November we brought you some details on writer-director Stephen Norrington‘s (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) reboot of The Crow and in February, we had an exclusive interview with the creator of The Crow (James O’Barr) and got his thoughts on the proposed remake. Now, we have word that the reboot is moving forward.

The Crow reboot producer Edward Pressman (The Crow: Wicked Prayer) told MTV that Stephen Norrington has finished the script and they are moving forward with casting.

“[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 also indicated that the setting for the film will be different than the original Alex Proyas directed film, with Norrington’s reboot set to take place in the Southwest and Detroit (or something like that?).

Pressman said,

“The setting is the southwest – the Mexico/Arizona area – and an urban [setting], Detroit or Pittsburgh or something like that,” he described. “There are two locations that the film is set. Its initial platform is in the southwest and then it moves to the big city in the north, middle or eastern America, and then back.”

Much like the creator of The Crow, and much like the look on Brandon Lee’s face in the picture above… I am not amused by the prospects of this reboot.
