Great news for Ed and Sean!

I hope this means that the Daredevil reboot will fall by the wayside and Marvel will regain the rights...

I hope this means that the Daredevil reboot will fall by the wayside and Marvel will regain the rights...

do you know when the magic date is




i think this could either be a great movie.. if its done right, its got so much to it, working on so many different levels

[Libaax]

If Brubaker gets to write like he wants it can be a cool noir heist story. If its regular hollywood adapt it wont be good and generic heist film like all the others in recent years....

[Leocomix]

Good for Brubaker and Phillips. However I find noir writing boring and that's not a film I will want to see. Now a pulp movie, that's another story.

I hope this means that the Daredevil reboot will fall by the wayside and Marvel will regain the rights...Unlikely there is a connection. "Criminal', like "Kick Ass" will not be a Marvel film,

Unlikely there is a connection. "Criminal', like "Kick Ass" will not be a Marvel film,

Wrong part of the connection, Slade was up for the remake helmer job.


Although damned if I didn't think Spade was directing this at first.

[Wellman]

Coward isn't my favorite Criminal story, but it would make for a good film and more attention on the book the better.

[Congo Jack]

Reread COWARD today, could very well make an excellent film.

If they could tempt him, Leonardo DiCaprio would be perfect as the 'coward'. Josh Hartnett, whom David Slade worked with on his last comic adaptation, would be great too.
