Daredevil is the latest superhero franchise to get an unnecessary, and unwanted reboot. This trend really started with Hulk, which was redone a few years later as Incredible Hulk and, not surprisingly fared no better. But Hollywood refuses to learn its lesson and now everything is being done and redone and redone in an endless cycle of redo and fan trampling. It's like a snake eating it's own tail.
Here's what Deadline says about the impending Daredevil reboot:
Regency is mounting the remake with former News Corp No. 2 Peter Chernin producing. Writing the redo is screenwriter David Scarpa, who scripted The Day The Earth Stood Still for Fox, which will distribute Daredevil 2.0 or whatever it's going to be called. The reason this is happening is simple: Hollywood studios with Marvel superheroes need to keep reinventing these Marvel movie franchises or the rights revert back to Disney-based Marvel.
Sounds like a horrible reason to make a movie to me. It's not like the previous, Ben Affleck powered, Daredevil failed. It made money, not a lot, but some. How much money did they really expect to make off a hero whose superpower is blindness, anyway? That's still not a superpower.
