David Slade To Helm 'Daredevil' Reboot

Variety is exclusively reporting that David Slade (Hard Candy, 30 Days of Night, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) will direct 20th Century Fox's Daredevil reboot.

Sources say the comic book adaptation will have no connection with the 2003 release, starring Ben Affleck and directed by Mark Steven Johnson.

No release date is set yet but expect casting news to start up shortly.

I for one am thrilled with this news.  Slade has proven himself to be not only a capable director of action but to have a keen eye for both story and visual excitement.  I think he's a great choice and will surely make a emotionally, action-packed Daredevil film.

its a cool choice for DD, i wish him the best of luck. Only thing i hate is that fox still has the rights, i wish they give it back to marvel so marvel can make it in house.

Is it just me or does Slade resemble Bendis here? Just reminds me of what a great run Bendis had with Daredevil and hopefully David Slade will do the same.

I just sent this post to a bunch of my friends as I agree with most of what you’re saying here and the way you’ve presented it is awesome. dqmiht dqmiht - Hermes Birkin Bag.
