Rumors of a remake of The Crow have been rolling on for what seems like years, so when the rumor resurfaced early this year not much was made of it, until names were started to be mentioned.

James McAvoy(X-Men First Class & Trance) was being linked heavily to the role of Eric Draven, made famous by Brandon Lee in the 1994 original film based on the graphic novel of James O'Barr, these rumors have since been scorned.

Now it seems Tom Hiddleston is in preliminary talks for the role, and he is so keen to get the part, he has already sent in a make-up test to demonstrate his look.

So far no other news on the potential remake of The Crow is available apart from the director will be F Javier Guitterez working to the script by Jesse Wigutow.
