The long-gestating The Crow reboot has now reportedly landed at Sony Pictures.

Variety reports the film is now back in development as a result. The remake was in the works over at Relativity Media for nearly a decade, but production on the film was suspended after the company went bankrupt.

Filming was reportedly supposed to begin in January this year, with Game of Thrones and Aquaman's Jason Momoa starring in the lead role of Eric Draven (played by Brandon Lee in the original), with Corin Hardy directing. According to Variety, however, Momoa and Hardy are currently not attached to the project.

The original 1994 film is an adaptation of James O'Barr's graphic novel, and follows the plight of a musician brought back from the dead by supernatural forces as he sets out to avenge his murder.

No release date is currently set for the new take on The Crow.
