 The first Ben Affleck-starring, Mark Steven Johnson-directed "Daredevil" movie made enough at the box office, but was slammed by critics. Why squeeze the flick in with the new generation of critically acclaimed A-list Marvel Movies? Reboot that sucker!
Hey, "The Incredible Hulk" did it, making history by making no apology for re-starting a franchise no more than five years after its original effort. Do it up, DD!
FOX's Tom Rothman told IESB.net in an exclusive interview: "A Daredevil—to use your words—reboot, is something we are thinking very seriously about."
Rothman went on, contributing some studio perception of the "reboot" concept: "I think that the thing "The [Incredible] Hulk" showed... is that it is possible, that if you really do it right the audience will give you a second chance. That it is possible. And I think that you see that when they did 'Batman Begins,' the first Nolan movie, that you can have made some mistakes along the way or movies that the audience wasn't that crazy about and then given the proper amount of time and the right creative vision behind it, you can—to use your word—reboot." |
