I agree but Wahlberg would be absolutely hilarious, I'm amused just imagining it. I'm surprised Nic Cage isn't being considered.
^ I can see the logic though. It's like what Steven Soderbergh said about Ocean's 11 - don't remake a classic, remake a bad movie. You can only improve when you remake a poor movie, you can only do worse when you do a classic. I think The Crow is a pretty perfect movie of its type. Now, I love Highlander, but it's a guilty pleasure movie. A great yet bad movie, a bad yet great movie. Lots and lots of fun but there is a lot of scope for improvement. of course, he might f*ck up the Highlander remake too!
Bump! Some concept art from when Bradley Cooper was attached to this movie has made its way online. Nice, but basically looks like Bradley Cooper dressed as The Crow. Worth a look for the curious, though. http://www.shocktillyoudrop.com/news/topnews.php?id=21874
This comes after a few weeks of James McEvoy and Tom Hiddleston being linked to the role. I believe Evans is in the new Fast and Furious movie but otherwise I know nothing about him. So I really don't know what to make of this. Though I suspect I'll prefer Brandon Lee.
