According to
Variety's Rachel Abrams, 20th Century Fox has tapped
30 Days of Night director David Slade, to helm a "continuation" flick for Marvel's man without fear,
Daredevil. Apparently, not being considered a reboot, the report says:
David Slade ("30 Days of Night") is set to direct the next "Daredevil" movie for 20th Century Fox. Slade, who had been in talks to direct Wolverine before losing the gig to Darren Aronofsky, is tasked with taking the film in a different direction from the 2003 "Daredevil" starring Ben Affleck, but is being described as a continuation of the story, not a reboot.
With this news, Fox has evidently succeeded in getting a film in development for old Hornhead, before the character's rights revert back to Marvel Studios.
And regarding who will portray "Matt" Murdock, In July 2008, Jason Statham had expressed interest in appearing as Daredevil in the future. But of course, that's just wishful thinking. So, who do you think could portray Murdock?
Anyhow, Slade’s resume also includes Twlight's
Eclipse, aside from
30 Days of Night. And his next project is likely to the Phoenix Pictures’ period horror
The Last Voyage of Demeter, which evidently means theres some time ahead before
Daredevil returns to theaters.
