\"\"<\/a>Juan Carlos Fresnadillo has left Relativity Media\u2019s in development reboot of The Crow<\/strong> franchise. No cause was given for his departure, but the 28 Weeks Later<\/strong> director is scheduled to start work on Summit\u2019s Highlander<\/strong> remake in the spring, so it is possible that he wants to concentrate his energies on that project going forward.<\/p>\n

The original 1996 film directed by Alex proyas adapted James O\u2019Barr\u2019s indie comic about a murdered musician who comes back from the dead to avenge the deaths of himself and his fianc\u00e9. It spun off two sequels and a short-lived syndicated television series. At one point Rob Zombie had been developing a third sequel.<\/p>\n

Before Fresnadillo was attached to the film, Stephen Norrington was set to direct from a script by Nick Cave. Bradley Cooper was briefly tapped to play the lead but dropped out<\/a> to head to Australia to star in Proyas\u2019s Paradise Lost<\/strong>. Most recently Alex Tse (The Watchmen<\/strong>) had handed in a draft of the screenplay, though at this time it remains to be seen if whoever next takes over the director\u2019s chair will retain it or bring a new writer onto the project.<\/p>\n
