It’s only been a day or two since the legal battle that had been holding up Relativity Media’s new take on The Crow ended, and it seems it’s very much full steam ahead for the movie.

Relativity has hired both a writer and a new director for the project already, and while there’s no official timeline yet, the firm is clearly keen to get its project moving again.

Thus, Jesse Wigutow has inked a deal to pen the new script for the film. And F Javier Gutierrez, who helmed Before The Fall, has been revealed as the new director.

No news on casting yet, but given that the project has already lost Bradley Cooper, perhaps Relativity wants to get things closer to production before making too many announcements.
