MARK WAHLBERG was recently rumoured to have been offered the lead role in a new big-screen version of The Crow.
The news - which met with a mixed response from fans - came at the same time as writer-director Stephen Norrington quit when an unnamed actor demanded a new script from another writer.
Norrington spoke positively about the possibility of Wahlberg being involved, which seemed to indicate he wasn't the actor who'd forced him off the project.
Wahlberg now confirms he was interested in The Crow but decided not to pursue it any further.
He told Cinematical: "We never committed to making the movie. They talked to me about it and there was a director attached 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."
The comic book character - a murdered rock musician who returns from the dead to exact revenge - was previously seen in a 1994 film starring Brandon Lee, who died in a gun accident on set. It was followed by three sequels and a TV series.
