So without breaking confidentiality, yes Daredevil, we have a great outline for a very strong character driven take on Mr Matt Murdock.

It will bare no relation to the previous Daredevil movie in any way. We are at early planning stages and have not yet discussed any cast. [/QUOTE]

You mean there won't be a wire fu scene on a playground?

Awwwww that's a bunch of hooey and applesauce!

Daredevil is ongoing, official news will break next week.. Can't say more.

[Admiral_Young]

Thanks for bumping the thread man...I'm really eager to see what the news is! I'm kind of excited for this project.

[Captaindemotion]

^YVW and I'm also excited to see the return of old Hornhead. I've liked Slade since 30 Days and I think there could be a great DD movie to be made.

Too bad, I was kinda hoping the rights would revert to Marvel.

[Obiwanshinobi]

I was kind of hoping he was still on that 'The Wolverine' list.

[Dream]

Now that I think about it, Slade got lucky. No one going to watch a sequel to that abysmal Wolverine movie if it wasn't made by Aronofsky.

This Daredevil reboot might actually be good.

So was I.

Daredevil should be done in the vain of Nolan's Batman. He works better as a dark character.

[The Borgified Corpse]

Maybe they should cast Matthew McConaughey. Then it would answer the question: "What if The Lincoln Lawyer was blind and beat the shit out of people?"

While playing the bongo drums, shirtless?

Daredevil's rights should've reverted to Marvel so he could appear in Avengers 2 as Hulk's defence lawyer after he tears up Manhatten.

I wonder how close to the mark a movie can come to having a cameo by a character that they don't specifically own. I wonder if having a blind lawyer simply referred to as "Mr. Murdock" in a brief part would be a violation? After all, IIRC, Magneto's plastic cell at the end of the first "X-Men" movie was clearly built by "Stark Industries", even though FOX had zero rights to Iron Man.

It was. I haven't re-watched that in some time. Where is the phrase "Stark Industries" used in conjunction with the plastic cell? I'm curious to have my memory jogged.

^IIRC, it was written on a piece of machinery. I haven't seen the movie for a while myself, but am sure I remember seeing that.
