It will be a continuation of the story started with the 2003 film
starring Ben Affleck as the blind superhero. That film, which was based
on the Marvel comic, grossed $179M worldwide. Chernin Entertainment
is producing the new pic. Slade is no stranger to genre films, having
directed last year's Twilight film Eclipse and the vampire thriller 30 Days of Night.
The screenwriter attached to the film is David Scarpa, who scripted The Day The Earth Stood Still
for Fox. The new film has yet to be assigned a title and no word has
been released from the studio whether the original actors will reprise
their roles.
Look at it this way, it can't be any worst than the first movie or Elektra...right?
