(EW.com) -- Break out the goth makeup: Mark Wahlberg may be contemplating taking on "The Crow."
A source has confirmed to EW that while no offer has yet been made, Wahlberg is in talks with Relativity Media to star in an upcoming remake/reboot/re-something of Alex Proyas' 1994 comic book-based movie.
He is being considered for the lead role formerly played by Brandon Lee, who was tragically killed on the set of the original film when a prop gun misfired.
I'm slightly surprised by the news, considering that Wahlberg's similarly dark and gothic Max Payne didn't quite live up to even its relatively low expectations. But I was even more surprised earlier when I read an e-mail from EW editor Kate Ward referring to the project as "The Crowe," because I couldn't believe they were already making a biopic about Russell Crowe. [Ed. Note: In the future, all of Keith Staskiewicz's perfectly innocent typos will be bolded instead of corrected. That is all.] Although, the more I think about it, the more I think the star of "The Fighter" would be great as the star of "Gladiator."
What do you think of the prospect of Wahlberg as "The Crow?"
