If you thought for one second that we weren't going to make a flying / wing / bird-themed pun about The Crow, you're only fooling yourself.

Deadline is reporting that the repeatedly-stalled reboot of 'The Crow' has stalled yet again as both star Jason Momoa and director Corin Hardy, seen below in an Instagram post from last year, are now in flight from the doomed project. The original film, directed by Alex Proyas and Brandon Lee, was beset by problems - not the least of which was the fact that Brandon Lee died during its production following an on-set accident involving a prop gun.

Deadline's sources claim that the film was due to begin production in the next month, but that now seems unlikely with the exit of Momoa and Hardy. This isn't the first time Hardy's bailed out of 'The Crow' either, as the film was originally set up with Relativity Media just before their bankruptcy and the film's current producer, Samuel Hadida, picked up the rights to The Crow in the aftermath.

The likelihood now is that a reboot for 'The Crow' is dead and gone, but given how this has happened before - and the character's whole schtick is about raising from the dead - it may live on somewhere else down the line.
