Tom Hiddleston in early talks for THE CROW; Yes, THAT Crow.

I'm sure you all forgot about Relativity Media's remake of the acclaimed 1993 film, The Crow, didn't you? After Bradley Cooper was in talks to play Eric Draven in late 2011, even having sme concept art drawn up; with Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later, The Intruders) directing, the project fell apart due to a law-suit, people got bored, and Cooper went on to be an Oscar nominated actor in Silver Lining's Playbook while actors like Marky Mark and Channing Tatum were rumored for the role before the project was put on hold.

Flash-forward to just a few weeks ago and James MacAvoy was in talks for the lead- which was soon dismissed- and now it seems your Eric Draven might be none other than Tom Hiddleston, the face you got sick of as he joined Benedict Cumberbatch in the league of people with creepy annoying obnoxious fangirls you wish would shut the hell up.

From The Wrap:

Hiddleston recently had dinner with producers and sent them a makeup test that he did on his own in London. He will undergo a proper makeup test in the coming days, as the character's appearance is important to fans of the franchise, who should be delighted with the casting of a major member of the Marvel universe.

Acclaimed Spanish filmmaker F. Javier Gutierrez ("Before the Fall") is directing "The Crow" from a script by Cliff Dorfman ("Warrior"), though it's possible that other writers will be credited as well.

Production is tentatively scheduled to begin this fall, though the timetable could move slightly depending on several factors.

 Well, what do you all think? is a remake of The Crow still a stupid idea, or has casting Loki cheered you up enough to go reblog a bunch of GIFs of Tom eating a sandwich or something?
