Corin Hardy Set To Direct The Action-Horror Film Hell Bent

The Hallow director Corin Hardy will be directing the upcoming action-horror film Hell Bent, penned by Mike Finch (Exclusively Yours). Paramount Pictures has described the film as “Dirty Dozens Goes To Hell”. In the film, a group of mercenaries imprisoned in a Brazilian jail are murdered and led into the depths of Hell by a priest who wishes to use their skills to kill Satan before he brings hell to Earth. Deadline stated that Hell Bent is “a throwback to how studios once built franchises,” which they described as “designed to cost $60 million or under” and “not dependent on big stars, but on an ensemble of ‘next hot guys’. That is the way that franchises used to be launched.” Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian will be producing. The casting process will soon begin. At this time they are putting the final touches on the script. We will update you when we know more.

The Crow Reboot Stalls Again

It seems The Crow remake is having trouble again. Relativity’s reboot of the 1994 classic has already seen its share of trouble, from losing actors to Relativity’s bankruptcy that halted it from entering production earlier this year. The company had hopes that the film would be back on track this month, but have now suffered another setback. Dana Brunetti has stepped in as creative head of Relativity and as the head of The Crow project he chose to release director Corin Hardy from the project. Hardy is the forth director to step away from the reboot. Several actors have also backed out of the film.

The Crow Remake Alive Again

A while back we reported that ‘The Crow’ remake was dead in the water, due to Relativity Media’s bankruptcy. Well, it seems that the movie is alive again and is planned to be Relatively Media’s first post-bankruptcy film. Producer Edward J. Pressman has been credited with saving the film by filing an objection saying the remake could be seen as an asset to the company. The studio’s announcement that they were moving forward with ‘The Crow’ may be due to the fact ‘The Hollow’ directer, Corin Hardy, has now signed on for remake. A horde of actors, including Bradley Cooper, Luke Evans and Jack Huston have been attached to play the main character of Eric Draven, originally played by Brandon Lee, but none have stuck around for long. So far the remake has seen both cast and directors come and go. Maybe it’s just the universe trying to tell the studio to leave the iconic film alone. In the 1994
