Luke Evans quits the new version of The Raven
The new version of "The Raven," originally planned to be directed by Colin Hardy and starring Luke Evans, was announced a month earlier that Luke intended to quit. Today, according to foreign media reports, Luke Evans confirmed that he has withdrawn from the project and will no longer play the male lead of the film.
The Raven is based on a comic strip novel and was shot as early as 1994. Originally going to play rock singer Eric Draven in "The Crow," Luke and his fiancée were killed by street thugs, and a year later he returned from his grave to take revenge. Everywhere he went, a crow followed him. The film has a neo-black style, most of the scenes take place at night or in the rain, and the portrayal of the modern city is full of despair.
The new version of "The Crow" had many difficulties from the beginning. First of all, the directorial selection has changed several rounds, from the British director Stephen Norrington, the Spanish director Juan Carlos Fresnadiro, and then the Spanish director F. javier gutierrez。 Recently, British director Colin Hardy finally sat in the director's chair, but he didn't know how long he could last. The actor's choice was initially targeted at Bradley Cooper, but was rejected. Subsequently, Chanin Tatum, Mark Wahlberg, James McAvoy, Tom Hiddleston, Alexander Skarsgaard were considered, but none of them were discussed, and finally Luke Evans was finally decided to play the male lead.
The Walking Dead by Norman Ridus
Because of the slow progress of the film, filming has not officially begun until now. Luke Evans claimed "can't afford to wait any longer" and eventually withdrew from the cast. Now, director Colin Hardy is still looking for a new male protagonist, and now, there are rumors that the popular "crossbow brother" Norman Ridus in the TV series "The Walking Dead" may succeed Luke Evans, but everything is still in conclusion.
The film "The Crow" was originally expected to be released this year, and if a male lead can be found, filming will begin in the spring. However, Colin Hardy has been "testing" the patience of fans, and we will wait and see who the protagonist of this slow-moving version of "The Crow" will spend.
