[quote]With X-Men: First Class having successfully relaunched its X-Men franchise, Fox is turning its attention to the reboot of Daredevil, the blind but sonar-powered Marvel superhero last played on screen by Ben Affleck in 2003.

Brad Caleb Kane, a writer-producer on cult Fox TV show Fringe, has been hired to pen the franchise’s relaunch, which has high ambitions: Kane is being asked to adapt one of the most influential and acclaimed comic stories of all time, Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli’s "[i]Born Again[/i]" run from Daredevil.

David Slade is developing and attached to direct the new Daredevil movie. Peter Chernin and Dylan Clark of Chernin Entertainment are producing.

While Kane only has one produced feature to his credit -- he worked on the crime drama Brooklyn’s Finest -- the scribe has gained a following around town for that strong script. He worked on DreamWorks’ View-Master movie, a Richard Pryor biopic that has Bill Condon attached to direct, and a draft of The Historian, Columbia’s planned adaptation of the Elizabeth Kostova vampire novel.

Kane is a Daredevil fan, and his energy and passion for the material helped him nab the job, according to insiders.[/quote]

What's with the massive influx of superhero movies lately

Daredevil wasn't too great, but still pretty enjoyable movie.

I'm kind of getting tired of super hero movies. I understand it is a way to reboost comic book sales and all. But Hollywood needs to stop being lazy and make something original.

Good because lmao

The daredevil movie was terrible. Like really bad.

The Director's cut is slightly better but it's still bad.

When have you EVER heard of hollywood being interested in doing something original? The vast majority of companies are too scared to take financial risks, so they follow whatever the popular trend is and run it into the ground.

The ironic thing is that usually results in films that end up being financial dead ends

Do you even watch movies. Film studios tend to love new concepts because they're more likely to win Oscars than the same old crap. Just look at any list of films that have been released recently, and I guarantee you there'll be an original idea in there.
