DAREDEVIL MOVIE UPDATE
Marvel Studios' Kevin Feige told The Continuum that the upcoming new Daredevil DVD will be a "whole new experience."

The DVD will be a director's cut, with many new scenes, and will be rated R. It is being targeted for a spring release.

"I hope the people who loved the first one will love this one even more," Feige said. "And I think who the people who had other opinions will be won over by this new version.

"Moreso than many director's cuts that you'll see, it's really a different experience. Not only are there other subplots and things in it, there are turns in his character, darker turns, and more interesting turns that he takes in this version."

Feige said that writer/director Mark Steven Johnson and producer Avi Arad of Marvel Studios are providing a new audio commentary for the director's cut. "It's very entertaining," he said.

Like Fox's X-Men franchise did with its titles, the new Daredevil DVD might be called Daredevil 1.5, but unlike the X-Men version, there will be no lookahead materials.

An Elektra spin-off movie is being targeted to go before the cameras next year, but a Daredevil sequel might be a few years down the road. Ben Affleck, who starred as Matt Murdock/Daredevil, has been quoted in recent reports as saying he's reluctant to return to the role.

"There are many more stories to be told with old Hornhead and we'd love to tell them someday," Feige said. "Right now, all of our efforts are on Elektra's solo adventure."

see the thing is that none of the actors sans Jenifer Gardner wants to be part of the sequel. Even a hardcore Daredevil fan such as Affleck is admits that the film was crap and has appologized for it many a times. How are they going to make a decent sequel? The only way I forsee this new dvd release as being any good is if the made it renegade ala Highlander. But thats just my opinion
