Daredevil Reboot Born Again

If you're a fan and long-time reader of Daredevil like me, this is a double dip of good news.

The David Slade-directed reboot of the 2003 adaptation, which we discussed here, has hired Brad Caleb Kane on to pen the script. Kane is a writer and producer on Fox's brilliant TV series Fringe, which means the project is in the right hands. It also turns out that Kane is a Daredevil fan and has decided to adapt Frank Miller's Born Again run from the mid-80s as the plot for his film.

Born Again is the definitive Daredevil tale! Karen Page, Matt Murdock's former lover, has traded away the Man Without Fear's secret identity for a drug fix. Now, Daredevil must find strength as the Kingpin of Crime wastes no time taking him down as low as a human can get.

If done right, this could be a great and decidedly different comic book film. With Slade directing and Kane at the keyboard, I have high hopes for this relaunch.

The devil you say? Daredevil headed back to the big screen

I enjoyed Mark Stephen Johnson's 2003 Daredevil movie a whole lot more than most people. And his unrated director's cut is even better. So I'm not disappointed to hear that 20th. Century Fox is moving ahead with a second film.

But gone are Ben Affleck and the rest of the cast, as well as Johnson himself. In is director David Slade, best know for his hard-R rated horror outings Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night.

Of yeah, he made one of the Twilight films too, but I won't begrudge the man a decent paycheck.

Fox isn't calling the film a reboot, but it sure sounds like one. I wouldn't mind having Affleck back, as State of Play and The Town revealed a performer who has matured with age. And I dug his Matt Murdock/Daredevil.

No word yet on what the story will be or when the film is due in theatres. We'll keep you posted, as always.

'Twilight' Update: Rob Tweets, Taylor & Kristen Get Close & ‘New Moon’ Details

Access Hollywood just posted a New Moon/Eclipse recap of everything that has happened lately. Check it.

It’s a big day in the world of “The Twilight Saga.”

Robert Pattinson, who plays vampire pin-up Edward Cullen in the dramatic franchise, posted his first (and last) Tweet on Friday on on-screen father Peter Facinelli’s Twitter page, to celebrate the senior Cullen netting one million Twitter followers.

“Thanks a million. Here’s Rob… Hi, it’s Rob… My first and last tweet. My dad made me do it,” R-Pattz Tweeted.

“At least you know he doesn’t have a [Twitter] account,” Peter continued.

And that wasn’t all the “Twilight” news of the day.

With “New Moon,” the next film in the series, due November 20, details of the movie’s hotly anticipated soundtrack are emerging. In addition to Death Cab For Cutie’s “Meet Me On The Equinox,” according to the New York Times, the soundtrack is expected to feature songs by Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, Bon Iver, Band of Skulls, Grizzly Bear and The Killers. An official tracklist was reportedly set to be announced on Friday but has not yet been released.

Meanwhile, on the set of the third film, “Eclipse,” stars Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart got up close and personal, director David Slade Tweeted.

“Yesterday Taylor had to carry Kristen for several hours, he held it together - hope he can lift his arms today,” he Tweeted. “Rain dumped on us all day.”

David Slade irritated by the paparazzi

Twilight Saga: Eclipse director David Slade is not having a good day. First he had to deal with his allergy to goats when the Eclipse cast and crew filmed scenes at Jacob Black's house now he tweets that he isn't such a big fan of the paparazzi.

"6am mountain. A black bear strayed close to us. We shoot solid through, sunburnt and tired we return at sunset. Today shooting with Kristen and Taylor, planes disrupt sound, we are plane magnets. Had an allergy attack at Jacob's house location, goats."

"Really really long paparazzi lenses make everything look terrible, one snuck close to set and was kicked off, another was arrested last week. I don't mind these pap pics, its just annoying when it stops us from shooting, or the images are completely unrepresentative of our shots."

From Twilight Fans To David Slade About Bella's Overall Look In Eclipse!

http://www.laineygossip.com/pics/bella%20mom%20set%2031aug08%2004.jpg

First I wanna say we all love you Mr. Slade and you are so cool and all but really what's going on with bella's look? she's so freaky!

1. Her hair is so mess up NOT even close to Kristen's actual hair in New Moon!
2. What's up with her left eyebrows? why it's half gone?
3. Why Bella is so white like that? she's not a vampire yet! make her look more like a human please.

The film is expected to begin production in less than a month, and Slade is already hard at work scouting potential locations for a few choice scenes.

No, it's not going to be Italy, and the bulk of production will probably take place in Vancouver, British Columbia like New Moon did, but there will be a few choice scenes of importance in other locales as well.

For instance, Slade tweeted recently that after "[a] long day of scouting, [he] found [the] Newborn hideout and battlefield finally."

While he promised to "post pictures soon," he also said that he was "only adding locations [they] are not using at the moment until confirmed permitted etc."

He also posted a few shots of the crew, including Director of Photography for New Moon and Eclipse Javier Aguirresarobe and Production Designer Paul Austerberry. Aguirresarobe, Slade says, was "separated at birth with [the] guy" from the Dos Equis commercial featured below. The resemblance is rather uncanny, you'll see.

Eclipse Production and Release Date Announced

Here is the article from Dead Central

Get ready for more glistening goodness, horror fans! It wasn't long ago that the news of David Slade (30 Days of Night) signing on to direct the third Twilight flick, Eclipse, broke. This was a pretty interesting announcement for horror fans, and one that is developing quickly.

Production Weekly says that Slade will be busy at Vancouver film studios from August 17th through October 31, where he’ll capture the trials and tribulations of Bella (Kristen Stewart) as she’s torn between teams Edward and Jacob. There’s also a rash of brutal murders tossed in there for good measure should you grow tired of the endless pining.

These movies are certainly on the fast track, and considering the phenomenal success of the first one, it’s not hard to see why. Will David Slade spruce up the material and create something out of nothing.

Look for Eclipse in theatres June 30, 2010.
