Fox's 'Daredevil' Reboot Officially Dead?
- Thread starter ansatsusha_gouki
- Start date
Yeah man there was a thread on here awhile back that was basically talking about how Marvel/Disney was tryna let them keep the rights to DareDevil if they would in turn let them use the Fantastic Four and I think the result was that the studio would rather drop the right to daredevil then give up Fantastic Four,Silver Surfer and Galactus
They are not hurting my feelings!
i'm interested in seein' what marvel studios does with the character...
if the movie won't come out any earlier than 2015 ... so be it..as long as it's done right...
there's gonna be enough comic book action movies..between now and then.. with superman, ironman 3, hulk 2 and so on...to tie me over..

good, it was a horrible idea anyway
even if it is done right i dont think i would want to see a DaeDevil film
BLADE was a C level character...
Shiiit.. if they make it a NINJA movie? have THE HAND in it? Have STICK in it? They can do it MANNNN!
The Blade series were a series of Vampire hunter martial arts flicks, which starred a comic character. Big difference.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
this!
Blade worked cause it was out of the ordinary. It felt more like sci fi. Lots of people still dont know its based of a comic book character. It would be alot harder to do with daredevil. He's just a stereotypical super hero with not much going on around him. But the villain would ultimatley make the movie so it depends
Exactly what I was saying. It's a good series, just not a typical comic book series.
I disagree... DD done right would be a gritty noir flick like Sin City but with more action + a ninja movie
I was referring to Blade.
Mine neither.
This man....^^^ knows what he's talking about.
Daredevil is a vehicle for a martial arts movie. People love kung-fu/ninjas. Approach it like that and a studio can make a movie people will come to see.
Blade was just a vampire movie with a particular backstory from comics. In the end, people just love vampires.
People would see a good Daredevil movie. The question is does the studio know what a good Daredevil film looks like?
In today's NY Daily News,
Jennifer Garner had a interesting quip about the whole "DAREDEVIL" thing...

People do love kung fu/ninja flicks but they don't do well at the box office. How well did Ninja Assassin do?
Edit: Never mind, this is how it did:

Ninja Assassin
Domestic Total Gross: $38,122,883
Production Budget: $40 million
I just hope that all the other dark and gritty comics does'nt make a dark and gritty daredevil feel like just another drop in the bucket
I actually think that TONE and time frame would have been REALLY good...
it DOES capture the Miller gritty...
and even the in flux of karate/kung fu flicks from the 70s some blax-expolitation vibe...
I dont know I would have been really interested...
Frankly, Iron Man was a B level character.
If they made Daredevil movie dark and very street level, more like a martial arts/fighting movie and less like a typical superhero movie, it would work.
That's just about right. Daredevil works in the NYC that they used to portray in the late 70s: dangerous, dark but still full of life, filled with interesting, eclectic people.
i think they should leave it alone...dd is just not a bankable super hero
Neither were Blade and Iron Man.
Blades success lies with it being a vampire action kung fu horror film, not because the Blade character was a great comic book character. Shit, back when Blade came out, most people who saw it had no idea of his comic roots. Blade is not a typical comicbook film series.
We never knew about the bankability about Iron Man. There was never a previous film starring the character but his character type made it a better risk because due to the his background and the fact that RDJ was brought in for the role.
Theres already been a DD movie and although I didn't hate it, audiences have spoken.
It's in the presentation. Blade wouldn't have been considered a bankable character but he was presented in a strong light and people came to see it. Same with Iron Man, who's own book had rarely been a top seller before the movie and hadn't been for years.
The original DD movie was not a great presentation or a good movie. That said, it opened to $45 million (on a $78 million budget) so people were interested, it just wasn't good.
Not as long as Fox has the Fantastic Four rights.
