Daredevil reboot

Fox, Marvel talk swap as clock ticks on 'Daredevil' - Entertainment News, EXCLUSIVE, Media - Variety
Joe Carnahan is the possible choice for directing Daredevil. David Slade who was originally attached to direct it can't do it as he is busy with the Hannibal series.

Here is the more interesting bit.

"Sources say Marvel would give Fox more time to make "Daredevil" in return for the rights to use characters from the "Fantastic Four" universe, including the giant, world-devouring supervillain Galactus, rumored to play a key role in future Marvel pics. Marvel is also eyeing future use of the Silver Surfer, who in the comicbooks brokered a deal to serve as Galactus' herald in order to save his home planet."

Daredevil is such a cool character. They could make an amazing character to rival the "Trial of the Hulk" Daredevil.

The Character deserves a good film, Personally I would like to see Michael C. Hall portray him.

they will rush it and it will suck

theres no way they would give up the ff rights in exchange for a delay on daredevil. thats the sad truth

They don't want the FF rights, they just want to use galactus and silver surfer.

which are rights from the FF universe, that fox owns the rights to.

Multiple sites are reporting this. I could see Fox doing this as it seems they have more faith in daredevil than FF.

ahh, I would love to see a reboot of daredevil to help me forget about the last cataclism hahaha.

Yeah, if they can make a good go of it, itll appease the pain of remembering the last outing with Bent Affleck. The whole movie was like a music video, a very awful, soul destroying, music video.

I actually liked the Daredevil movie and loved the directors cut!

I don't think the DD movie is anywhere near as bad as it's remembered. Not perfect by any means, but still quite watchable. I would enjoy seeing the Director's Cut, as I hear it's a vast improvement on the theatrical release.

guys, its fox

nothing good will come from any comic/game movie they ever make (or any other movie for that matter)
let me just name a few:
Fantastic 4 (1 and 2)
my super ex girlfriend
hitman
alien vs predator: requiem
max payne
street fighter: the legend of chun li
dragonball evolution
x men origins: wolverine

compared to the few good ones, its just overwhelming evidence, that they really dont care for the story, just for the money

now, i pray to god, they redeem themselves, but i have no hopes whatsoever for this.

The original movie wasn't that bad, i enjoyed watching it. The thing that really pissed me off was Ben Affleck saying he was embarrassed to wear the costume.

HEY. I forgot all about that! And the Thor episode!

I like Carnahan's work. I could see him making a decent crime film and dropping Daredevil into it (Kind of like they did for Dark Knight returns).

Joe Carnahan's 'Daredevil' is Stalling; Fox May Let Marvel Take the Character Back | Movie News | Movies.com

Joe Carnahan tweeted the following last night.

"Think my idea for a certain retro, red-suited, Serpico-styled superhero went up in smoke today kids."

"We shall see. Time is NOT on anyone's side."

I really don't care whether or not the Daredevil reboot sucks, I probably won't be seeing it either way. But if this "agreement" works out and Marvel gets to use Galactus, I'm all for it.

Fox has already shown us they have no ****ing clue how to use Galactus in a live-action film. Give that opportunity to Whedon and it's guaranteed to be awesome.

i love how they contradict themselves after just a few months xD:

Fox has made it very clear that they will not let go of any of the properties under their control for any live action medium.

We’ve also been told that if it ever came to the point where they were going to lose any property they own because of failing to have a movie in production, they would simply produce a low budget, straight-to-DVD feature and stick it in any theater to fulfill their theatrical release clause.

I like the Directors Cut where they had Coolio in it I heard Jason Statham wants to play DD and to be honest I wouldn't mind seeing him in DD.

Stahem would not make a good Matt Murdock. Maybe a good DD though.

I enjoyed the Director's Cut a lot, adds a few things that make a so-so movie a lot better.

Does it count as a reboot if there was only one film? I thought there had to be an established franchise for it to be rebooted.

Punisher only had 1 movie (2 if you count the Dolph version) and War Zone was a reboot.

I like the gritty period feel he was going for.

well, its reverting back it seems. no galactus or silver surfer, thats a bummer.
until when do they have to start production on FF before they lose the rights?

i dont see marvel producing a standalone dd movie, without spiderman references, or iron fist/luke cage to incorporate somehow

personally i would love it, if they didnt make a movie, but a daredevil tv show. People love those lawyer crime shows, why not do that, and add the superhero by night thing.
i would watch that.

Daredevil as a TV show definitely could work out better.

Joe posted the following few hours ago.

"Guys, last time for the folks in the back of the theater-- FOX DIDN'T PASS ON DD. The sand left the hourglass and time simply ran out...... "

And a recent interview with him.

Considering how badly Fox botched the theatrical version of Daredevil, the rights reverting to Marvel is probably a good thing.
