 |
|
Here's what he said to "ifmagazine" when he was asked about DAREDEVIL-2:
iF: I read some where that you had the rights to the script for DAREDEVIL 2? Is that accurate and will we ever see a sequel?
MSJ: I don’t think so and unfortunately when that movie was made it made a lot of money for Fox but they made the ELECTRA and they thought ELECTRA was DAREDEVIL 2 and then they would bring the two characters back for a third movie. Because ELECTRA tanked it cooled everything off for it. I am hoping Marvel gets the rights back to the franchise and maybe after that I can do something of a sequel but we won’t see it until then.

That's right, MSJ, it's "ELEKTRA'S" (the movie) fault. Of course, its the same ELEKTRA movie that you produced and based on the "Ech . . . uh, "Elektra" character from DD 1. Look, even Ghost Rider (which WAS a "hit") sucked.
If Marvel gets the rights back to DD, I hope they go the Hulk way. REBOOT!!! And, don't even talk to MSJ. Get Rodrigurez/Miller to do it.

That reminds me....please god don't let the Preacher thing actually happen.
Is Ennis really working with MSJ? How is that even possible?

| I think that they'll adapt "Born Again" storyline therefore they should get FRANK MILLER as a co-director with MARK STEVEN JOHNSON and get the orignal cast back for the job but just change the studio this time!!! |

| never. They should reboot the franchise, get a new cast. The only casting that was what I would call good was Matt's Dad. He really did look like Jack Murdock. Foggy was ok..but he was used so lightly in the film. Get a new cast, A Good Director, and a new everything. |

Ah, yes, it was the studio. Here I thought it was the crappy writer/director and actors that made the movie horrible. Can anyone point to a place where MSJ was complaining about the studio's influecence BEFORE the film tanked? He was very proud of his work and it was only after everyone pointed out what a suck fest it was that he started with this studio nonsense.

The only thing that Mark Steven Johnson should do that's anything close to Daredevil-related is reunite with Ben Affleck, cast Matt Damon as his best friend and make Grumpy Young Men. Get him away from comic book movies, or anything related to literature at all, because his John Irving adaptation Simon Birch sucked too. |

Rodrigurez and Miller would be cool but I would LOVE to see Guillermo del Toro do it.

GUILLERMO DEL TORO seems good chioce for DD-2, he even once mentioned long time ago that Born Again is the story to do but i still think that MARK STEVEN JOHNSON is the only guy who can put magic into the movie, if studio allows him to co-direct it FRANK MILLER to adapt his critically acclaimed comic book BORN AGAIN for DAREDEVIL-2:Born AGAIN !!!
But if the upcomming movies such as THE INCREDIBLE HULK & THE PUNISHER:WAR ZONE proves to be successfull with new cast/directors & loved by fans & critics then i think DAREDEVIL would definitely be the next movie to get rebooted !!! |

Auzi, you bewilder me.
You seem to be the biggest fan of the Daredevil movie, but seem totally clueless as to the impossibility of the Born Again story being used as a sequel. In order for Born Again to work, the Kingpin would have to still be the head of his empire, and would have to have found out Daredevil's secret identity without Matt knowing. It also doesn't help that the Karen Page character was barely in the first movie at all. Did you ever read Born Again?
How come you accept every single piece of excrement that drops from Mark Steven Johnson's mouth as gospel? He produces Elektra (most people on this board know that it's spelled with a K) and blames Fox for its tanking? Doesn't that speak to a malfunction in his professionalism and general personality? Specifically a failure to take ownership for his own bad choices and an insistance on placing blame on everybody but himself?
Please help me understand your certainty that Mark Steven Johnson is the man to make the next Daredevil film, let alone a film based on Born Again. Were you not aware that your hero produced Elektra? Again, did you ever read Born Again? If not, I highly recommend it. If it's simply that you haven't read it in 20 years, read it again. Maybe it will give you a different subject about which to post. |

Dimetre is right about BA, as I, myself, have comment on.
But, really, if there is ever a DD sequel, let's not forget that in this version of "Daredevil," DD is a wanted man. He is a killer. A punisher, if you will.
The cops/Feds know this masked vigillante killed an innocent man. In cold blood.
Seems to me that if KP wants "revenge" on Matt, as he sits in jail, he just simply has to "out" Matt as DD to the cops. Why go to the elaborate hassle of "stripping away" Matt's life?? Because of what MSJ put fourth, all KP has to do to get a lighter sentence is to simply tell the cops that the crazy vigilante in the devil outfit is Matt.
For God's sake, a "kind of" BA moive would be ridiculous.

I think MSJ should just stay away from comic book movies in general. Seems like a nice guy, but can't write or direct at all.

If it's a reboot, then the first movie has no bearing on the sequel. So DD 2 would technically be incorrect. If were comparing it to the Hulk reboot, which most of us are. Then they'd call it like...Daredevil: The Man Without Fear...or Daredevil: Born Again, Daredevil: Fearless (etc etc)
Anyway, the Incredible Hulk movie made NO reference to the first Hulk movie. And went as far to even give him a different origin (atleast the setting)
In my opinion, Born again would work. But like they did with the first movie, they'd have to make it an amalgam of a few different stories. Which I wouldn't be opposed to.
Things they should focus on for a DD reboot:
-Matt Murdock being a lawyer
-Karen and Matt's relationship
-DD and Kingpins animosity being more direct and personal
-Identity issues
I'd almost like to see some form of the more recent storyline where Matt go outed to the papers, sued them and went to jail.
But thats just me. Because really, the only important thing when making a comic book movie, is making it true to the character.A good comic book movie doesn't have to be faithful to the continuity. |
