Ben Affleck‘s less-than-beloved 2003 take on the blind lawyer superhero will not be the last. I’m sure the studio is feeling the super-power of franchise re-tinkering, after the successful open of X-Men: First Class, and they don’t want those movie rights leaping back to Marvelville.

“Fringe” writer Brad Caleb Kane has been tapped to write the new Daredevil movie, based on the sacred-to-nerds “Born Again” run by Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli. It’s a quasi-Job story where Kingpin makes life really, really hard for Daredevil once he learns that his secret identity is lawyer Matt Murdock (thanks to a heroin-addicted porn actress, no less).

This is getting ridiculous. Why would Fox reboot a mediocre-at-best film that’s only eight years old? Well, according to Coming Soon, if they don’t make another Daredevil film within a year, the rights revert back to Marvel. So at least they’re doing it for all the right reasons. Legal interests rights always spur the greatest cinematic achievements.

Director David Slade got his card pulled to direct the film, so expect to see something in the vain of his previous projects, ranging from Hard Candy to 30 Days of Night to Twilight: Eclipse. So Daredevil will either be Ellen Page or a vampire. Maybe both. (Coming Soon)
