Daredevil Reboot Gets Yet Another New Writer

David James Kelly has been hired to re-write a script for the as yet Untitled Daredevil Reboot says Deadline


At one point Fringe TV series writer Brad Caleb Kane was at work but has stepped aside. Kane was said to be adapting the "Born Again" comic book story arc, by writer Frank Miller that sees our hero go insane and destitute at the hands of the villain 'Kingpin', as well as his subsequent struggle to build a new life for himself The great storyline originally appeared from issues #227-233 in 1986.

David Slade remains attached to direct. Robert Pattinson Garrett Hedlund Bradley Cooper  and Xavier Samuel, who like Pattinson, worked with Slade on "The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" were rumored to be up to play the lead at one point. Slade himself started the Samuel chatter: after sayng that there is some big news coming and then posted a photo of the actor. Since that time though nary a word save for this.

Peter Chernin and Dylan Clark will produce the remake.
