DAREDEVIL REBOOT: How would you do it?

[Peyton Westlake]

[/He's gonna need to do stuff much more impressive then from Sopranos to get the audience to think DD wouldn't knock him unconscious with a single blow. That's how far the level of violence is between the show and DD.

QUOTE]

I dont know what show you watched, but the DD movie is NO way more violent then Sopranos. I agree, you might like to see a relaunched DD movie that really steps it up.

 

[Joker's Lackey]

Director - Guilermo Del Torro.
Art Style - Sin City, 300 but grittier, not more darker than those films but a gritter tone, hopefully it makes sense.
Cast
Matt Murdock/DD - Josh Duhamel

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0241049/
- For me, he has the right age. He is 6'3", so that helps. Looks young. Has done action. And isn't that big of a name.
Foggy Nelson - Zach Braff

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0103785/
- Off the bat, I know he doesn't resemble Foggy. But, in terms of Foggy's personality, and the fact he is suppose to some form of comic relief. Zach would be a good fit. Maybe he can gain some weight to look more like Foggy. His age is close to Josh, so seeing then as college room mates wouldn't be hard to picture. Again, in my opinion, Zach would be perfect as Foggy.
Elektra - Michelle Ryan

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0752740/
-Bionic Woman herself. Obvious she has action experience, she is young and attractive. All she needs is a nice Tan and Dark hair. Also stands 5'7" tall.

 

[Joker's Lackey]

King Pin - Ross O'Hennessey

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1090815/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNi2H3KvwFw
- Okay, I haven't seen this guy act. But for this one, this guy is the closest thing to the books I can find. At 5'10" he has the height. Read his IMDB resume find out he is a Weight lifter and a Martial Artist. Closet to the books I can Find in terms of Looks.
Bullseye - Casey Affleck

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000729/
- Why would i want Casey for this role? For a sense of Irony I guess. Ben played the Romantic interest of Elektra, Casey can play the Killer. It'll be Fun.
Stick - David Carradine

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001016/
-Really, he is just perfect for the role.



As for Writers, I would want James Vanderbilt of Zodiac or Daniel Pyne of Fracture and the Manchurian Candidate.

Should focus on Frank Miller's, DareDevil: the man without fear origin.

 

[M.O.Steel]

not a bad cast

carradine as stick is money...that just clicks.

i really like josh duhamel, and i feel he's one of those actors that can play a lot of different superheroes. people have suggested him for superman, batman. i think he would be a good daredevil also.

not really feeling zach braff as foggy and casey as bulleyes IMO. it could work.

 

[Sawyer]

Ray Winstone as Kingpin FTW.

 

[Brian2887]

Daredevil - Ryan Gosling (Half Nelson, Fracture, Stay)

Admittedly, this pick is a bit of a longshot.. but hey, Marvel's landed the likes of Ed Norton and Robert Downey, Jr. A good enough script and an artistic direction for this project, and it might be something that catches Gosling's fancy.

Elektra - Rhona Mitra (Doomsday, Shooter, Nip/Tuck)

Beautiful, exotic, and no stranger to action films. She's talented and sexy enough to play the role, and not too expensive. That doesn't hurt..

Bullseye - Sam Rockwell (Matchstick Men, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Galaxy Quest)

I know this isn't the kind of role Sam Rockwell usually plays, but he can pull off deranged, he often has a confident swagger, and I could easily believe he's one tough mothereffer.

Kingpin - Clancy Brown (The Shawshank Redemption, Pathfinder, The Guardian)

Massive, imposing, frightening. Not a huge name, but he's a huge man. He's got a great, evil voice and can easily look the part with only a haircut.

Foggy Nelson - Andy Richter (Semi-Pro, Andy Barker P.I., Elf)

Who better for a funny, chubbly schlub of a sidekick to a tall Irishman?

Karen Page - Amy Smart (Rat Race, The Butterfly Effect, Crank)

Another actress who's recognizable, but not a huge name and thus, not very expensive. She's funny, talented, and can be serious when need be.

Ben Urich - Enrico Colantoni (Veronica Mars, Galaxy Quest, Just Shoot Me!)

Very underrated actor who brought real gravitas to Veronica Mars. He deserves a good role like this.

Written by: Andrew Kevin Walker & Kevin Smith
Directed by: James Mangold (3:10 to Yuma, Walk the Line, Identity)

 

[The Major]

I dont know what show you watched, but the DD movie is NO way more violent then Sopranos.

The violence was different. The Sopranos is more realistic so it operates on a much lower scale then DD does.

The violence in DD worked on a bigger scale then Sopranos.

Affleck's DD had more then enough skill to easily overpower Tony entire mob.

I agree, you might like to see a relaunched DD movie that really steps it up.

Yup.

Brian:

The only actors I don't like are DiCaprio and Clancy Brown.

Leo would not only be incredibly expensive but he's to well known as an actor. If I'm watching a movie I want to see DD not Leo acting like DD.

The only thing Clancy lacks is the weight. Not sure if he'd be up for the physical action. He's not the Kurgen anymore.

Maybe he be Mr. Fear II or some character like that. He definitley would fit in a DD movie. Just not sure what role he would work best in.

Joker:

The actor needs to be good at acting not just look the part.

I do like Carradine as Stick.

That actress is cute but there's no way she'd be a great Elektra. She doesn't have the acting chops and is terrible at stunts. JMO.

 

[Cagefighterkip]

casey affleck would be a good DD and whoever thought of zack braff as foggy is a genius

 

[chiefchirpa]

DD - Damian Lewis (Band of Brothers) or Guy Pearce (Memento).

 

[Sawyer]

I like the idea of Enrico Colantoni as Ben Urich.
