The Crow: Jack Huston will star as The Crow in the upcoming remake of the dark 1994 action thriller. The actor made a strong impression on TV’s Boardwalk Empire over the past few years and then nabbed a lead role in the currently filming Ben-Hur remake. Corin Hardy will direct The Crow, with Claire Wilson currently writing a new draft of the screenplay, based on James O’Barr’s graphic novel. [Deadline]

In the Deep: Louis Leterrier (Now You See Me) is in “early negotiations” to direct In the Deep. Tony Jaswinski wrote the original script for the action-thriller, which follows a young woman who is stranded on a buoy off an isolated beach when a great white shark appears. Leterrier must first complete Grimsby, a spy comedy with Sacha Baron Cohen and Rebel Wilson. [Variety]
