First up, Slade commented on Daredevil. Here are his tweets, strung together:
And here’s Slade’s brief comment on The Wolverine:
Forgot to look at the internet for a few weeks and its a litany of false (and not so far off) rumours. So without breaking confidentiality, yes Daredevil, we have a great outline for a very strong character driven take on Mr Matt Murdock. It will bare [sic] no relation to the previous Daredevil movie in any way. We are at early planning stages and have not yet discussed any cast.
Starting with Daredevil, with no script yet written, we can safely say the film is several years off. I’m curious who came up with this outline, however, as that’s usually the job of the screenwriter and a name has yet to be announced. Could the outline be from producers? The studio? A series of comic books? Or is David Slade writing the script as well? We’ll have to wait and see. (David Scarpa was hired to write a Daredevil film over a year ago, seemingly in part to keep the character rights at Fox. We don’t know if his work remains in play.)
WOLVERINE, there have been no discussions about this project to date. Interesting to see what will happen with that as the again excellent script by Chris McQuarrie was set largely in Japan. So that’s all the news that’s fit to print.
How do you feel about this “very strong character driven take on Mr. Matt Murdock” or Slade possibly moving into Aronofsky’s shoes?
