Hollywood always creative!

i agree marvel studios needs to be on the reboot,i don't really trust fox with this marvel movie after seeing xmen origins wolverine.and also they have to stick more to the comics,the marvel knights version of daredevil has a good storyline i think they should do.

I knew it was going to be bad news before I read who wrote the script, Ill be sure to miss this one.

I thought the first Daredevil was entertaining even though it was bad. I've been hoping for a reboot for awhile. I'm excited that there will be one, not excited about the writer. If Kevin Smith could at least write it I'd be more excited. As director I'm not sure if I'd like him to do it. I think he's been on a downhill slide lately (I didn't enjoy Zack and Miri and I think Cop Out looks terrible). Guess we'll just have to wait and see eh?

original Daredevil was actually pretty decent, even with Ben Affleck, so a reboot is not needed.

I have a solution to this that I think can make everyone happy. I hope Disney/Marvel executives read this board. I'm sorry if this is a bit long, but I want to walk through all of my argument here so bare with me. Fox is only making this movie because it is about to lose the rights to Daredevil if it doesn't "start production" on a Daredevil flick by a certain date. Like any executives in any business, they see a hot trend and want to catch in it. They see the business Dark Knight and Iron Man did, and to a lesser extent their own X-men and Fantastic Four films. Now I have to assume the Fox executives know that they are running into the law of diminishing returns by rebooting these films. Look at the Hulk film from Marvel as an example. The second Hulk film was relatively well received, but only did moderately better than the original. Marvel has decided not to make a Hulk movie for now - and we will only possibly see the Hulk in an Avengers movie, and the Hulk is a much, much more popular character than Daredevil, and more popular than the Fantastic Four for that matter. I grew up with these characters so I love them and will see many of these movies unless they are horrible (read Punisher). But others won't. I talked to many of my friends about seeing the second Hulk movie when it came out - friends who don't have a comic book background - and by and large they just weren't interested. They had seen the Hulk movie before, had thought it was average entertainment generally and didn't see the need for another one. I would imagine that Marvel and Paramount had to spend a lot on marketing to convince people that a second Hulk movie was worth seeing. Daredevil is in the same boat (ass will be the Fantastic Four in a couple years). If they want to Fox can spend a lot of time and money in making a movie that even if it is better than the first, will likely only make slightly more than the first and that is after lots of money is spent in marketing. My proposal is that Disney/Marvel buys back the character from Fox. The suits can work out the monetary figures, but I would guess the amount could be some fraction of the expected profit from a second movie - and Fox gets million for literally not doing anything. Fox then can invest those millions in other film projects immediately - instead of working for a year or two and hope they strike gold with a second Daredevil film. Marvel gets Daredevil and the Fantastic Four back to incorporate into their movie universe where they are infinity more valuable. With Fox, Daredevil and the FF are stand alone, but in a Marvel universe, they could interact with the Avengers, and perhaps down the road characters like Luke Cage and Iron Fist, Doctor Strange, Black Panther, etc. Most importantly - fans of these characters will get a better made film - whatever film Marvel ends up making that features old hornhead - and that is ultimately what I want most of all.

As much as I think it'll be cool to remake "Daredevil", I say Fox should do the right thing and just surrender the property back to Marvel(never will happen). This whole remake business wreaks of desperation and this whole endeavor would be in contempt of the real character--re-made just to keep from losing the property to the tune of piss poor results. I recall the Canon Films/Albert Pyun debacle in the late 80s where the cheapie "Fantastic Four" was made so that the studio wouldn't have to surrender the property...and some of us know how that turned out! That said, the "Daredevil" and FF properties rightfully belong back in Marvel's hands where they will do the characters justice!

Can you actually get the original cut of Daredevil on DVD nowadays? I absolutely hated this movie when I watched it in theaters... Years later, I own the directors cut and quite enjoy it. It's not even the same movie I saw in theaters seeing how it's so different. I actually think (with exceptions like the seesaw fight) that it's a pretty good film and I actually like Afleck in the role.

I can't see this ending well to be honest...=/

I wish someone would reboot Spawn.

I say kill Affleck on the reboot. Affleck should go to film school and just direct. Let's face it, Damon is more versital of the duo screenwriting. Who ever gets it should go with Frank Miller and Jason Statham. Jason is much better suited for the role. This would definately give him A-list status. David should not come near anybody's script. That piece of sh*t remake TDTESS was horrible. The film fits Keanu's genre but the script sucked on every level. Kevin Smith should not be involved in anyway, shape, or form. Antoine Fuqua is way better at suspense, thrills and action than Kevin. Finally if the crooks over at the "House of Mouse" gets their hands on it, they will throw the money that needs to be spent on this film to give it that "Iron Man" feel this movie deserves to be a proper franchise.

its great to see marvel studios in on this..you cant have someone come in and rewrite almost 50 years worth of material..look at the xmen movies! while I love millers writing, his direction isnt so hot..I would love to see miller work with znyder on a new daredevil or on something using some of the classic miller daredevil work.. and please...no ben.. and while I actually really enjoy some of smith's work..Id rather see a dark or semi-gritty daredevil than a wise cracking humorous candy red matt murdock...

Why not bring in Kevin Smith as a writer, along with Frank Miller? To all executives: Please keep Mark Steven Johnson far away from this. I'd suggest Alfonso Cuaron to helm this film. He's got the chops and the flair for narrative, mystery, and good action with a little, or quite a bit, of darkness! (See: Children of Men)

@26: Daredevil's power isn't sight, it's "advanced radar". He detects, not sees. And his other four senses are ridiculously heightened. He's more in touch with his surroundings than anyone else in the Marvel U, and he uses it to his advantage. The movie actually explained it pretty well--I'm sure you can find a YouTube clip.

The guy behind "The Day The Earth Stood Still"? Abandon hope, ye who enter here.

It would be cool is Ben Affleck directed it, because I think he could do it! He already proved himself with Gone Baby Gone.

I say make a "King Pin" movie where he takes on Daredevil, Elektra and Spiderman. Would probably become a two parter.... but interesting. I don't think they need to reboot...

Loved he first one...a reboot is so not necessary...make a sequel....and ben affleck was good as daredevil.
