David Slade Directing 'Daredevil' Reboot

Fresh off his Academy Award Razzie nomination for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, director David Slade has booked his next job.  And it's big.  The Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night director will be taking the reigns of the Daredevil reboot for Marvel and 20th Century Fox.  Now, some of you might be groaning seeing the director of a Twilight film taking on this project, but Slade is a very talented, capable director.  His resume up to Eclipse was solid and he did all he could with what was given to him on that film, ultimately making the best Twilight flick to date.  But you can only polish a turd so much.

Speaking of turds, have you gotten that Daredevil film from 8 years ago out of your head yet?  Ya know, the one with Ben Affleck hopping around rooftops in a red leather onesie?  I sure haven't.  And I hope you haven't either, seeing as how this "reboot" may not be much of a reboot after all.

Sony Buys 'Zombies vs Robots' Comic Book Adaptation

After my last posting about E.T. 2, you might think this headline is for a fake film as well.  I mean, Zombies vs Robots?  C'mon.  That's not a movie, that's the kick-ball game you see at Comic Con waiting in line for Hall H.  Well, depending on how your mind works, this film is fortunately/unfortunately happening.

Sony has purchased a spec script from video game writer turned big screen writer/director J.T. Petty based on the IDW comic of the same name.  Oh, but this story gets better.  If there was one filmmaker on the planet who would sell his soul (or what little of it he has left) for a chance to be a part of a film entitled Zombies vs Robots, who would you guess that might be?  I'll give you a hint: his name rhymes with Schmichael Schmay.

Hit the jump for more details and the film's synopsis (surprisingly, there's more to it than just zombies and robots).

Mark Millar's 'Nemesis' Adaptation Moving Forward, Screenwriter Hired

Anyone who has ever heard comic book writer Mark Millar speak knows he likes to shoot his mouth off.  Whether it be Wanted 2, Kick-Ass 2, or that little Superman trilogy he pitched, he makes these outrageous claims about his work and then virtually nothing comes to fruition.  And I'm still waiting for that announcement about the "most high profile actor of 2010" coming aboard Superior.  But movie and comic book fans always forgive this guy because his work is just that damn good.

Well it looks like one of his announcements is finally going to pay off as the big screen adaptation of his anti-superhero comic Nemesis is moving forward.  Before the first issue of Nemesis even hit the stands, it was reported director Tony Scott wanted the project and now the film has a screenwriter.  And a pretty good one at that.
