It seems like ages ago that we got to enjoy Ben Affleck donning the scarlet costume and bring to life comics’ Daredevil for the Silver Screen, and it’s been made evident that someone out there thinks that it’s been long enough. Today we discover that the wheels are slowly starting to grind together as the film officially has a writer.

Brad Caleb Kane, a writer-producer on cult Fox TV show Fringe, has been hired to pen the franchise’s relaunch, which has high ambitions: Kane is being asked to adapt one of the most influential and acclaimed comic stories of all time, Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli’s “Born Again” run from Daredevil.
Fox is tackling the project with Regency.
David Slade is developing and attached to direct the new Daredevil movie. Peter Chernin and Dylan Clark of Chernin Entertainment are producing.
I’m glad that David Slade is still attached to this project and I hope he manages to ride this one out til the end. I think it’s a pretty ambitious choice to use Frank Miller’s Born Again storyline in the film. So far so good, it’s on the ‘radar’ so I’ll keep you guys posted.
