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

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....
Pull List:
The Walking Dead,Fatale,Near Death,Storm Dogs,Happy,BPRD,XO-Manowar
American Vampire,Animal Man,Swamp Thing
Daredevil, Winter Soldier,Indestructible Hulk

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.

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

'Mm,' she agreed. 'He's a little bit dodgy in the same way that rats are a little bit covered in fur."

Wrong part of the connection, Slade was up for the remake helmer job. Originally Posted by carabas

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

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.EAT GLASS, LAWMAN!
