Just last week, we brought you the news about Relativity Media hiring director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) to direct their reboot of The Crow, following the October departure of director Stephen Norrington (The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen).

Now, Deadline reports that actor Bradley Cooper (Limitless, The Hangover Part II) is in early talks with the studio about starring in the film as Eric Draven, the character made famous by Brandon Lee, who died on the set of the original film, directed by Alex Proyas.

The Crow is slated to hit theaters in 2011.
