Daredevil Reboot Still In The Works New Script Ordered From David James Kelly

‘Daredevil’ Reboot Still In The Works; New Script Ordered From David James Kelly

Deadline says that the script is still based on the 1986 Frank Miller/David Mazzucchelli storyline Born Again, which featured the Kingpin discovering Daredevil’s true identity (lawyer Matt Murdoch) and essentially destroying his life. The Kingpin was played by Michael Clarke Duncan in Johnson’s film, and while there was one report that this new movie would be a continuation of Johnson’s film rather than a total reboot, at this point I’d expect to see all roles recast for Slade’s movie.Brad Caleb Kane (Fringe) wrote the previous draft of this new Daredevil last year.

Here’s the basic description of Born Again:

“And I – I have shown him… that a man without hope is a man without fear.” 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!
