Relativity Media’s Crow reboot may finally get off the ground. Deadline reports that Clash of the Titans and Immortals star Luke Evans is in final negotiations to topline the film as Eric, the tragic antihero created by comic book artist James O’Barr in 1989.

A film adaptation starring Brandon Lee was first produced in 1994 to big success. Unfortunately, a tragic prop gun accident claimed Lee’s life on the set. Actor Vincent Perez took over the role in 1996’s The Crow: City of Angels. The sequel proved to be a turkey and he returned to French cinema.

Evans’ most recent genre offerings include the WWE Studios and Pathe UK slasher No One Lives and Relativity’s Edgar Allan Poe based thriller The Raven. He will next be seen in Universal Pictures’ Dracula: Year Zero and the upcoming Hobbit sequels Desolation of Smaug and There and Back Again.
