Wahlberg Offered Lead Role in 'The Crow' Remake
Wed, October 20, 2010 
According to Bloody Disgusting Mark Wahlberg has been offered the lead role in The Crow, a remake of the 1994 film that starred Brandon Lee as a man (Eric Draven) brutally murdered that comes back to life as an undead avenger of his and his fiancés murder. The film was an adaptation of James O'Barr's incredible comic series. Iconic musician and acclaimed screenwriter Nick Cave has been working on a rewrite with Stephen Norrington (Blade, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen ) attached to direct. The new tale is said to take place in Detroit.
As much as I love Wahlberg in a lot of his other films, I just can't picture him as the tortured soul with face paint on returning from the dead to strike vengeance on those who have wronged him. The vigilante aspect I could easily see. After all Marky Mark kicking ass and taking names is what most people go to his movies to see, but the character of The Crow doesn't really feel like a good fit for the big screen tough guy. Hopefully he declines the offer, then again he did make Max Payne...
