The long-gestating reboot of the 1994 gothic thriller The Crow has finally found its leading man. Deadline reports that Jack Huston, best known for his supporting role in HBO's Boardwalk Empire, has closed a deal to star in the project.

The reboot of The Crow has been kicking around, in one form or another, for many years. Since the project was first teased in 2008, at least a half-dozen actors — including Mark Wahlberg, Bradley Cooper, Ryan Gosling, and Luke Evans — have been rumored for the role.
