The Crow:Will Bradley Cooper be able to carry a legendary film?

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cooper is in talks to star in a remake of the 1994 dark comic book-based classic, "The Crow." Cooper just opened the thriller "Limitless" number one at the box office, proving his leading man status; Relativity Media, the company behind that film, is also the engine behind "The Crow" remake.

About a slain rocker returned from the dead to avenge his death, the original film starred Brandon Lee, son of martial arts legend Bruce, who was tragically killed after a prop gun accidentally shot him with a dummy bullet.

Cooper will next appear in "The Hangover Part II," in May. In addition to his compelling action scenes in "Limitless," he starred last year in the action-comedy remake of "The A-Team."

The star also recently said that he wants the role of Tom Buchanan in the upcoming "The Great Gatsby" film, though it looks like Ben Affleck may get that part.
