New Daredevil Movie

[areaseven]

At the San Diego Comic Con, it was reported on this article that Jason Statham has expressed much interest in starring in a new Daredevil movie. Frank Miller has also voiced his opinion, saying Statham should play the Man With No Fear.

Now, if a new film is to be made, it will be a reboot, as the last one sucked (not to mention that Ben Affleck called the role "humiliating"). If Miller is involved in the project, expect it to be based on the 1986 Born Again storyline (issues 227-233).

I like Statham, I think he's made some entertaining movies, but I don't know if he can act without the accent.

ive always liked the DD movie myself. Its not perfect or anything, but it was pretty cool and had some great moments in it. the special extended edition is better again.

What is it about Jason Stratham's movies that make me wanna drink a durian milkshake right afterwards?

[lord_breetai]

cool then they can have a scene where one of the other Marvel charcaters shows up and asked DD to Join the avengers and he plain refuses.

I thought Ben was pretty good. I'm not sure how I feel about Jason Statham with hair. Lol.

[Swampy19]

Red hair for that matter lol

As long as the movie's Daredevil and not DD guest starring Elektra or vice versa. Though I did like Kingpin and Bullseye in the original. The special extended cut was much better than the 1st film.

Because after Blade and prior to Iron Man, X-Men and Spiderman have been the only ones to be noteworthy. The first Hulk movie was a stinker. Daredevil was meh. Most other projects have yet to get off the ground.

Statham as the mild mannered but extremely articulate and eloquent attorney Matt Murdock? Hell no! Maybe as DD but he will have to learn some serious gymnastics b/c that is what DD specializes in along with arial maneuvers. Statham's style is more of a brawler no finesse.

Hell yea if its based on Miller's Born Again storyline this movie might be awesome. God damn that story was great.

[gerwalk25]

One word. YES!

[CoryHolmes]

I, too, enjoyed the first DD movie. And on top of that, I prefer the theatrical cut to the director's cut! *dodges tomatos* And that was my first real exposure to Jennifer Garner

[badboy00z]

O/T: Jason Statham's new movie is like Twisted Metal, Jail Break, and The Fast and the Furious combined. Lol.

Frank Miller shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a movie production.

I can't believe people actually like that movie. The S&M outfits, the silly script, bad acting and bad direction. The only thing cool was the sonar effect.

They should use Kevin McKidd in the new Daredevil. He was pretty kickass as Lucius Verenus in Rome and Journeyman and they're using his old partner Titus Polo as the new Punisher. Then we can have a cool reunion/crossover.

[Duke Togo]

Ray Stevenson and Frank Castle is pure win, but the movie will probably still stink.

[bigkid24]

I think the script for the first one was okay aside from Kingpin finding out that Murdock was Daredevil already. I agree with Exo that the other factors killed the movie, although I saw nothing wrong with DD's D&M suit.

[Alpha OTS]

I liked the extended DD movie as it better fleshes out all the second tier characters in the movie and connects them to the main plot so that DD isn't the single driving force in the movie. The ending in the theatrical version is somewhat of a mess, but you don't realize how messy until after watching the extended cut. It's still a poor man's Spider-man, and I can't really disagree with any negatives pointed out about it, but I like it all the same.

Affleck was ashamed of DD, eh? This from the guy who did Pearl Harbor and Phantoms in which he was the bomb, yo?

We could have been happy since long ago if instead of wasting money on all those bad comic2movies adaptations they made a single Macross movie. I bet it would have gone well.
