The Crow: Jack Huston Cast & Jessica Brown Findlay Cast as Leads
Boardwalk Empire actor Jack Huston and Downton Abbey's Jessica Brown Findlay are the leads in The Crow reboot.
UPDATED!
Well, it looks like this one has been confirmed. Dread Central caught up with The Crow creator James O'Barr who confirmed Jack Huston has been cast as the lead in the remake. "Jack Huston has definitely been cast," he told them. He is "really happy with that choice." Expect The Crow remake to go into production soon.
O'Barr has also now confirmed Jessica Brown Findlay will be playing the female lead in The Crow reboot. Findlay, who is best known for her work on Downton Abbey, is in a role that has yet to be announced, but it wouldn't be a bad guess to think she may be the Crow's murdered girlfriend seen in flashbacks.

The planned reboot of The Crow movies hasn't quite gone to plan so far. In fact, that'd be something of an understatement. The lead role in the film has been linked to the likes of Bradley Cooper and Tom Hiddleston thus far, and last year, Luke Evans was attached to star. Evans, however, told us that "I can't wait much longer" at the end of last year, and eventually he too dropped out of the project.
Still on board to direct is Corin Hardy, and now a new face has been linked with the lead role. That'd be Jack Huston (of Boardwalk Empire fame), who's currently shooting the new take on Ben Hur. He's got the lead role in that one as well.
Talks between Relativity Studios and Huston are said to be at an "early stage", but presumably there's a strong desire now just to get the new The Crow made. We'll keep you posted...
