By You know when they reveal that the guy getting the 19th paternity test on Maury is not the father and they do that inevitable celebratory dance? Fans of the seminal gothic nineties film the Crow, as well as fans of common sense, did a collective ‘Not the Father’ when Wahlberg confirmed he will not be coming back from the dead with a little crow sidekick.
I previously reported about Wahlberg being offered the lead role in the The Crow remake, and on Saturday Cinematical got to catch up with the star of The Fighter to ask him about the horrifying rumor. “We never committed to making the movie. They talked to me about it and there was a director attached (Stephen Norrington, Blade) who I was a fan of, and he’s no longer doing it. We just thought about it – ‘is there something cool to be done there?’ But we’re not committed to making the movie.” There we have it, folks.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m a fan of Mark Wahlberg and his brother Donnie, but the last thing I need to see is Mark Wahlberg done up like a juggalo and rasping like Fighterco-star…

I’m a fan of Mark Wahlberg and his brother Donnie, but the last thing I need to see is Mark Wahlberg done up like a juggalo and rasping like Fighter co-star Christian Bale’s Batman as he ruins a classic film. However, with Wahlberg out of the picture, that frees up the spot for Hollywood to make an even worse choice. Just imagine a glittery, well-coifed Eric Draven played by Robert Pattinson. We may have dodged one bullet, but what if it’s just the first of many?
