Daredevil casting announced

He's mean and moody. Originally created by Marvel as a rival to DC's, Batman, but fans are dismayed at the news that Robert (Twilight) Patterson has been cast for the new Daredevil movie. One irate fan said, "It seems that the hoped for gritty Dark Knight'ish movie will now be aimed at teenage girls. The Twilight demographic."

Daredevil has already been filmed - the 2003 movie had Ben Affleck in the title role, and is not highly regarded by comic book fans.

DAREDEVIL WILL RETURN

Personally I enjoyed the Daredevil movie, but the producers felt it was not as successful as it could have been and after the sequel of sorts, Elektra the series was shelved. However it look as if the character could be coming back.

FROM LA TIMES

The Fox-affiliated production company New Regency, which produced the initial "Daredevil" back in 2003, is making another go of a movie headlined by that character. The company is interested in restarting the Marvel franchise and has hired David Scarpa, a writer best known for the script of the 2008 sci-fi remake "The Day the Earth Stood Still," to offer a new take. Former News Corp. executive Peter Chernin will also produce the project via his new production company.

Fox/New Regency have been rumored for some time to be interested in a new "Daredevil," but to this point had taken few concrete steps in that direction. FULL STORY
