Another reboot courtesy of Fox, Daredevil! | Movie News

Don't act like you didn't see it coming...
Most of us remember the 2003 film version of DAREDEVIL. A lot of people were really excited (I might be stretching it here) to see the Ben Affleck take on the role of Matt Murdock. The rest of the cast consisted of Jennifer Garner as Elektra, Colin Farrell as Bullseye, Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin/Wilson Fisk, Jon Favreau as Franklin Nelson, and the list goes on. Mark Steven Johnson directed and wrote the film.
A lot of people were disappointed upon the film's release, but when the director's cut came out that changed some minds. So why the reboot? Deadline states that Hollywood studios with Marvel superheroes need to keep reinventing the Marvel movie franchises or the rights revert back to Disney-based Marvel.
David Scarpa (THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL, THE LAST CASTLE) will be penning the screenplay.
Let the commenting begin!

Enough with the fucking reboots already. Own up to whatever mistakes you think you made and continue the storylines you began with. Taking too many mulligans makes you look pathetic in golf and it's the same when it comes to making movies.

One of the worst casts for a big budget film ever compiled. All kidding aside, this movie was painful to watch. I can't honestly think of one good thing to say about the original....

So please excuse me if I'm not frothing at the mouth for a new daredevil movie. Maybe if Kevin Smith or Jon Favreau were asked to direct, maybe then I'll get excited.

Oh, right... Fox is distributing this reboot. It will be garbage after all. My bad.

So as long as there isn't a ninja training montage with an operatic nu-metal song playing over the top, it'll be an improvement.

2--The Last Castle: Good. Really good, even. Mostly because of the cast.
3--The Day the Earth Stood Still Remake: BAD-BAD-BAD. And I had so, so much ope for it.
I'm a bit mixed on this news. Good to hear a remake could come along and more properly handle things, but half of that screenwriter's resume SUCKED. Badly.

Me? I'm neutral on this for now.

You'd think they'd get some of the comic book writers involved but I think that'd be too easy.

They should take time and care to build up the story over films. Daredevil as a character has tons of awesomeness potential so I say bring 'em on.

The only thing the first one did right was his suit. That was one well wicked suit, and still is one of the best overall onscreen hero costumes. And Duncan was well cast, but misused, as The Kingpin...
This is Marvel's Batman...just seedier, darker and grittier...make it R-Rated and hardcore and I'm there.

So long as M.S.R. and a couple of shitty writers aren't attached, and Marvel Studios gets COMPLETE CONTROL of it like they had with Iron Man (2008, IMO 8/10) and Incredible Hulk (2008, IMO 8/10), I don't see how this could suck.

Also, my pick for Matt Murdock is Matt Damon. Ever since the first movie I felt Matt should've been Daredevil instead of Ben Affleck. After the Bourne movies become a big success, it only became more apparent that FOX made a big mistake by casting the wrong "Good Will Hunting" actor to be their Daredevil.

I never thought Dare Devil was an interesting enough character to base a film on or a franchise for that matter, I don't really see this working out at all, I say give the rights back to Disney/Marvel and maybe we'll get better DD, FF and dare I say... X-MEN films.
