"Marvel's Daredevil Netflix series begins shooting in NYC this July. The Netflix series in development that are scheduled to begin with Daredevil, followed by Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage. The four, 13-episode Netflix series will then culminate in an "epic mini-series event" titled Defenders."

Surprises me that we don't have any real info despite it starting filming in 3 months...

 

[jolldan]

Do we have any word on the villains that will feature yet?

 

[chamber-music]

With Daredevil filming this July casting news will be coming quick I guess

 

[Loki882]

Yeah, I'd expect them to have pretty much the entire cast in place in time for SDCC, so that they can all appear on-stage together.

 

[metaphysician]

Huh. If they are filming in July, think they will release Daredevil before the year is out?

 

[cph9fa]

What would people think about having Matt Murdock show up in an episode of AoS before his own series comes out? Probably not in the last 7 episodes of this season, but perhaps early in season 2? One possibility... Coulson mentioned he would testify at Akela Amador's trial; maybe Matt is defending her?

Well wasn't that the plan? Or was it 2015? I can't remember.

 

[Gr0oT]

I doubt it.
Takes like what, 3 months to film and finish a 2 hour movie?
This is a 13 hour movie being released all at once, had it been like AoS where they film as they go along I could see a pilot for the end of the year but not with the superior Netflix format.

 

[metaphysician]

A single movie has to be done as one unit; a TV series, whether prestige format or not, can be done on an episode by episode basis. That means you really can't just take the production time for a movie and multiply by the relative number of hours.

But Netflix dumps all the episodes of the season at once, not on a weekly basis. While I'm not 100% sure this will be the case with the Marvel shows, it's a pretty good bet. So, the show (all 13 episodes) will have to be complete before it can air. I'm thinking early-2015... which seems in line with what they've stated.

 

[The Question]

Still, that doesn't mean they won't film on a TV schedule. TV shows film an hour long episode in one week.

 

[Norrin Parker]

If Ben Urich is in this wonder what paper he'll be working for? They can't use the Bugle after all.

Yep. A 13 episode series would typically take about 13 weeks to film, give or take. Prestige format could potentially increase this time, but some of the effects work in the opposite direction ( greater investment in resources allowing for more economies of scale ). I suspect its probably a wash, more or less.

The real question is whether filming of Jessica Jones will begin before Daredevil is finished.

 

[cph9fa]

In the Civil War story line, he quit the DB, and started a small independent online news source called frontlines.com. They could do something similar; maybe he's even got ties to Rising Tide?

 

[BrandonBurge616]

I can't wait for this show! Probably gonna watch every episode the day it comes out. :P

 

[Mr. Dent]

IGN: Can you shed any light on the nature of the rights for characters like Namor and Kingpin and Elektra? Clearly, with the Daredevil Netflix series, a lot of people are wondering who basically controls Kingpin and Elektra, and a lot of folks are wondering about Namor because of the fact that you guys are going to do The Defenders. Can you clarify that situation?

Feige: No, Namor I think is a little complicated, the way some of them are. Elektra I think we have. I think that was part of Daredevil, and that's clean and simple. Kingpin we either have or somehow share. I'm not 100 percent clear on that one.

So we can put them not being able to use Kingpin at all to rest.

Sounds like Namor is very complicated though. First Feige says no one but Fox, Sony, and Marvel Studios own rights to Marvel characters, then a year later he says Universal has Namor, and now he's saying it's just "complicated like some of them are", I think implying something like with Scarlet Witch/Quicksilver, Skrulls, Madame HYDRA/Viper, etc. Yeesh.

 

[Crockett]

Well he did say he isn't 100% sure so I wouldn't take that as a confirmation. If they however don't share rights to Kingpin then perhaps a similar deal could work for this case back when Sony loaned Kingpin to Fox for the Daredevil movie.

 

[Silvermoth]

Yeah, it's very tricky to spring questions about legalities on him without giving him time to prepare.

He sounds reasonably confident they'll be able to use kingpin though. If not, it's a shame but the marvel u has tons of gangsters they can use instead

 

[fixxxer]

Does anyone believe that Feige doesn't know the exact contract status of massively important characters like Kingpin, Namor, etc.? I find that extremely hard to believe that he wouldn't know the contract status of even the more obscure Marvel characters. Feige's about as detail oriented as it gets.

His replies on that front are basically a cover for the legalese. When cases and/or legal discussions are in progress, lawyers will typically tell their clients to either not say anything, or if unavoidable, be as ambiguous as possible (maybe/I think/probably/not really sure/etc.) so that nothing goes on the public record.

 

[Dark Raven]

The director and choreographer of Daredevil needs to take a page out of CA: TWS and get Daredevil to fight as well as Captain America. He needs to be fully acrobatic without only being completely CGI.

 

[gohei_]

I feel the same way. DD needs to be at least as acrobatic as Cap. But I guess it could be hard when they're working on a tv budget instead of a movie budget.

A lot of Cap's fighting was done by gymnastics and parkour, and not CGI. Whoever plays Murdock better be prepared to do some intense training for the role. But we don't just want a gymnast either. He needs to be someone who can pull off the lawyer aspect convincingly and be eloquent.

Yeah that's true. I guess I meant that I want to see DD jump and flip around and stuff like that. And swinging of course.

 

[flickchick85]

DD isn't a super-soldier, though. He has superhuman senses and balance, but not Steve Rogers-level physical abilities.
