Is Mark Wahlberg The Crow?



This is kind of weird. Bloody Disgusting brings us some news about The Crow reboot:
Bloody Disgusting has confirmed exclusively that Mark Wahlberg was offered the lead role in Relativity Media's The Crow, a remake of the 1994 film that starred Brandon Lee as a man (Eric Draven) brutally murdered that comes back to life as an undead avenger of his and his fiancĂ©e's murder. The film was an adaptation of James O'Barr's incredible comic series. Iconic musician and acclaimed screenwriter Nick Cave has been working on a rewrite with Stephen Norrington (Blade, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen ) attached to direct. The new tale is said to take place in Detroit. Now, the offer has been made, therefore Wahlberg could (and hopefully will) decline. I can't say this news has me swimming in excitement. 
I hope he declines too. I don't see it.

If there is any film that does NOT need a reboot it is the Crow. The original is still just as brilliant and stunning as it was back in 1994.
I won't support it no matter who is starring. That is like rebooting Enter The Dragon.
Fuck that.
