Daredevil reboot-Twilight Star sought!

[tay666]

i liked Affleck as DD. thought the movie was pretty good, not perfect but I enjoy watching it.

My thoughts exactly.
I thought the movie captured the feel of DD.
At least the DD I was familiar with. (mid 100's through mid 200's)

Affleck already said he will not reprise the role.

Getting a young "IT" actor makes sense.

Patterson might work.

[thunderbolt]

Really, only HALF of that equation has the "right" to work...

Yeah, you should be able to pull in new younger fans w/a hot young star,
but turning OFF older fans for having a hip actor involved is just silly.

I'm sure a lot of comic people are quite condescending when it comes to Twilight, so that part of it would work. I personally wouldn't know a Twilight star from a hole in the ground. It'd be like casting Justin Beber to play Captain Kirk. I can hear the fanboy explosions now.

Well, I'm an older Fan...and it wouldn't bother me a bit if the gave the role to Pattinson.

[huedell]

I agree with this, his Twilight association will bring in the teen girl audience, and turn off the older comic fans at the same time with the Twilight hook.

This is the dilemma a lot of actors go through....Pattinson will always be seen as Edward the Twilight vampire just like Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter. It is really tough to break through and not be constantly pigeon holed as these characters.

[thunderbolt]

Well at least he won't need rain to make out shapes anymore. Those sparkles should cover the task just fine... But seriously. I am not for crossing genre's when making hero films. Patterson's association is too strong with the Twilight series. And I don't believe that is what a reboot of Daredevil needs working against it. A fresh approach means fresh faces.

As much as I enjoy Fillion, I think he enjoys eating to much to get a spandex clad superhero roll.

Please no Robert Pattinson for Daredevil. Honestly I liked Affleck Daredevil ........but.reboot could be intriguing. Just don't cast him as Matt / Daredevil.

Nathan fillion...now were talking!

[boynightwing]

nathan fillion would be good

The man can do no wrong. Fillion should just be in everything. :D

In regards to the Twilight guy. I think he'll be fine. I've never seen the Twilight films. Don't plan to. But I won't judge him for being in them or for being sought after by millions of girls everywhere. I say good for him.

[PNGwynne]

I don't know about this. He acts like a brick. Course I thought Ben Affleck would make a good DD.

Affleck did make a good DD--watch the director's cut.

Regarding Pattinson, I'll keep an open mind, just as I plan to with Evans' Cap.

That's part of his character. Edward is a bit like that in the Twilight series.

He also played Cedric Diggory in the Harry Potter films (most prominently in Goblet of Fire). I thought he did a good job in the movie and seemed spot on with the character in the book just as he's spot on as Edward in the book who is kind of brick like throughout most of it.
