Considering Limitless’ strong hold on the box office, I was curious what might be thrown Bradley Cooper’s way since it would appear he can actually open a movie. Good for him!
Sure enough, it would appear some big budget stuff is being thrown his way, and one is reportedly The Crow.
According to Heat Vision, Cooper has entered early talks to play Eric Draven. It’s not a done deal — Relativity won’t even confirm the talks — but Cooper and Juan Carlos Fresnadillo met and geeked out over their vision of the character. Word has it that Cooper really, really wants to do it.
It seems a shame to hide that face under the Crow make-up, but it would probably make his Popsicle blue eyes pop…I mean, er, he’s a more interesting pick than Mark Wahlberg, who was reportedly up for it in the last go round. Cooper has been sidelined a little as “the arrogant douchbag” character, but he was solid in Limitless, and his pre-Hangover work is pretty varied and enjoyable. I don’t know if he’s right for The Crow, but it would be fun to see him do brooding and tormented over smarmy for a change.
We’ll see if he signs — and if it puts him in the running for The Flash which is what I want to see him sign to.

Let’s hope that they do SOMETHING different if they’re going to use the character of Eric Draven again, because that character was pretty much driven into the ground by basically having his story re-told and re-told again in the TV show and McFarlane-produced comic that followed. There had been a series of earlier Crow comic mini series around the time of the second film that each featured a different protagonist and creative team, and those were pretty good for the most part, and while it was nice that the films took a similar approach, it’s too bad that they all turned out to be shit.
OK. I have to say something now because I keep hearing this. WHAT MAKES BRADLEY COOPER SO GOOD LOOKING??? haha. I take everyones’ word for it and I accept he must be very good looking. It’s like this cliche now how good looking he is. Except that he isn’t really all that good looking, is he? He looks like (to me) like he has two separate faces smashed together. Head is too big, eyes uneven as fuck and kind of a Simpsons jawline. He’s kinda weird looking, right? I like his work and I hope he does well. And I know he was Face and all. Funny to me how out of step I am in this.
You and I have wildly different views on what good looking is, friend.
Well speaking as a woman, the guy is good looking but tends to get a reaction in women which is akin to ‘I know I’m going to sleep with him even though I’ll hate myself in the morning’. The other reaction being ‘Never lend him money’.
I don’t really mind Bradley Cooper, but he can’t pull this off, plus he kind of looks like weasel. I think JGL or Franco might be a good fit. I also wouldn’t mind if they cast an unknown like Grigory Dobrygin(Black Lightning)…either that or Paul Giamatti…
