MUMBAI: Bradley Cooper has refused to do Relativity Media‘s remake of The Crow.

Cooper was set to play the lead role of Eric Draven, but a couple of other films like The Silver Linings Playbook and Paradise Lost came up against the filming schedule of The Crow, it is understood.
 
Relativity is now looking for a replacement to Cooper and expects to begin filming in the first quarter of next year.

Directed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, there has been some turbulence in making of The Crow. The Weinstein Company is suing Relativity Media over the project, asking a judge to prohibit the latter from selling the remake of the 1994 film to any other company.

The original film grossed $50.7 million - an impressive sum for its day.
