The Crow remake lands director F. Javier Gutierrrez
Gutiérrez's directorial debut, the Spanish-language apocalyptic thriller Before the Fall (Tres Dias), became an international and award-winning sensation after premiering at the Berlinale Film Festival in 2008. In Spain, the film won Best Motion Picture and Best Screenplay at the 2008 Malaga Film Festival, the Miradas Award (TVE) for Best Motion Picture of the Year, and garnered nominations from the Spain Critics Awards. In Europe, the film was a finalist for the 2008 European Film Awards and won main prizes in such science-fiction and fantasy film festivals as the Amsterdam Fantastic Film Festival, the Trieste Film Fesitval, and later in the U.S., picked up four awards at Los Angeles' famed Horror Festival "Scream Fest" in 2009 (for editing, Gutiérrez's directing, cinematography, and actor Víctor Clavijo). The film also ranked #3 on the "International Watch List 2008". Gutiérrez is currently developing Dimension Films' sci-fi thriller The Greys.
Wigutow most recently did a re-write for Robert Ludlum's thriller The Osterman Weekend for Summit, and adapted the book "Steve McQueen: Portrait of an American Rebel" for Brian Oliver's Cross Creek Films. He is also developing Age Inappropriate at Universal and Irreparable Harm at HBO. Previously, he has worked on films including: Tron: Legacy, 8 Mile, Eragon, and The Ruins.
The Crow adaptation will be a gritty reboot of the iconic character Eric Draven, who returns from the grave as The Crow on a mission to avenge his wife's murder, so that his soul can finally rest. The original film is known for its breakthrough visual style as well as its unique production design and cinematography. The project is currently in development; start of production, targeted release dates and casting to be announced.
The film is being produced by Edward R. Pressman, Jeff Most and Relativity's CEO Ryan Kavanaugh. Relativity's Tooley (Immortals), The Weinstein Company's Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein and Farah Films' Dan Farah (Armored) will serve as executive producers.
Paradigm, Gutiérrez's manager Farah, and attorney Stephen Clark of Lichter, Grossman, Nichols, Adler & Feldman, Inc. represented Gutiérrez on the deal and Wigutow was represented by UTA and attorney Warren Dern of Sloane, Offer, Weber & Dern LLP, and Benderspink.
The Crow is in development and stars Luke Evans. The film is directed by F. Javier Gutiérrez.
