Finally some good news has flown in for Relativity Media’s redux of the classic tale of ghostly revenge known as The Crow! Creator James O’Barr has signed on to the project, which is heading to Comic-Con!

Variety reports that O’Barr, creator of the original graphic novel, has come on board as a consultant on the upcoming reboot of the film. Luke Evans is starring with F. Javier Gutierrez directing the adaptation written by Cliff Dorfman. Shooting is set to begin in early 2014.

Relativity also announced that O’Barr and Gutierrez are scheduled to appear at Comic-Con in San Diego to discuss the film and meet with fans.

“It is important for ‘Crow’ fans to understand that Relativity, Javier, Luke, and the entire team are working on a new adaptation of the book itself,” said O’Barr in a statement. “I believe that this movie will stand alongside Brandon and his film as a valid work of art, and I look forward to collaborating on the project.”

The film is being produced by Ed Pressman, Kevin Misher, Relativity’s CEO Ryan Kavanaugh, and Jeff Most. Exec producers include Relativity’s president Tucker Tooley, The Weinstein Co.’s Harvey and Bob Weinstein, and Farah Films’ Dan Farah.
