Daredevil: The Reboot

[Niltusk]

They want to make Punisher a detective who hunts down and brings criminals to justice every episode. Basically a legal Dog the Bounty Hunter sans mullet.

Cool, Tony Shalhoub as Frank Castle, they can put this right between Burn Notice and White Collar.

And just skip to the end, having him eat his gun barrel 5min into the pilot!

Good for him for having the balls to utlize footage from the DD movie.

No wonder it went back to Marvel.

Born again is probably one of my favorite of all Daredevil storylines.

Same here. Just brilliant. One of Miller's best works.

His entire run is epic, so thats really saying alot imo, but I love how they broke him down, just to rebuild him even stronger and get back to the basis of him being "the man without fear". Plus, some of the best use of the supporting characters. So much tension through those arcs. Loved every frame.

At first I was completely against the whole "retro" thing, but actually, that would've worked since DD wouldn't have been connected to the Marvel Studios films.

DeNiro as Kingpin....

Personally, I dig the 70's tone. Imagine a "retro" Marvel Knights mini-universe. Daredevil in the same vein as Taxi Driver, The Punisher a la Death Wish, Heroes for Hire as a Kung-Fu/Exploitation film, Moon Knight, Blade, and even the Tomb of Dracula stuff as pseudo-horror/exploitation films. I could see it, even though it'd never happen.

 

[karamazov80]

Most of that I can see, but. . .

Daredevil in the same vein as Taxi Driver

You saying Murdoch is like Bickle somehow?

 

[Niltusk]

I do like your lineup though batfan... Punisher, DD, HfH, and MoonKnight could all work very well in a shared universe.

100 Mill is big budget Summer Blockbuster money...

Should be done for 50 Mil, or at the very most, 80 million.

100mil was the old bench mark, now all these films are going 150 or more.

I'm talking about the same tone and overall aesthetic, not the character in particular.

Yep, want to see a movie as dark and gritty as some of the Miller stuff. Although I have nightmares that the DD reboot stars this guy...

 

[batfan08]

Yeah, DO NOT WANT.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I'm real disapointed Marvel got the rights back for Daredevil, would've been fine if they were gonna use him, but they clearly aren't so it means we won't be getting a new DD films for a long time now

 

[RIDDICK]

And it's ok.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

And it's ok.

Not if you wanted a new Daredevil film

Did you like the 2003 release?

It's not the best of the best of the best....but, I did enjoy it. Bullseye was a little over the top, but I liked that.

 

[guyverfan]

While it was by no means a good movie I did find that the Director's Cut was much more entertaining than the theatrical release.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I liked it for the most part but wasn't a fan of Kingpin. Michael Clarke Duncan (R.I.P) coudn't sell a criminal role after his performance in Green Mile. Elektra was the lowpoint of the film.

Even though Bullseye was over the top, he was fun to watch. Like on the plane when he killed the chattering old lady

I still have yet to see the Green Mile.

I really liked him as Kingpin though. As for Elektra, I'm a sucker for the spin-off movie of hers. I used to watch it quite a bit. (I'm not helping my case here, I'm sure.)

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Elektra sufferred from the same problem as Black Widow. She's not foreign enough.

Elektra is greek and BW is russian, neither had any accents, they were for all intents & purposes generic Americans
