Daredevil lands new director, will recast leads

Hollywoodnews.com: After taking a crack at vampires and werewolves for the “Twilight Saga,” director David Slade is setting his sites on a horned hero from Marvel Comics’ roster. Source - Source Via @twilightish.

Slade will helm the next “Daredevil” movie, which is expected to advance the story put forth in the 2003 version but will start over with a different cast (sorry, Ben Affleck).

EW.com reports that Former Fox chairman Peter Chernin “will produce through his company Chernin Entertainment,” but that “no screenwriter has been announced” at this time.

While the rest of the Internet blows up with casting suggestions, I’m going to pitch Kevin Smith as a “Daredevil” screenwriter. Smith knows comics, and really knows Daredevil. He’d be a great selection. And we all know that it doesn’t matter who you cast to wear the mask in a superhero film, so long as the story works for both fans and general audiences.

It seems David Slade (director of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) is experiencing no shortage of work these days because, per Variety, he's nabbed yet another project: a new installment in the Daredevil film line.


According to that source, it won't be a reboot of the 2003 Ben Affleck-lead movie but "more a continuation" of that story - based on the Marvel comic series of the same name - the screenplay for which will be written in close contact with Slade himself.

Eclipse Director David Slade on Losing Out on Directing The Wolverine to Darren Aronofsky and What's Next

Hey Everyone!
As we Know David Slade said his good bye to the Saga yesterday. Here is a report by Reelz Channel on what is next for the brilliant director.
via @ReelzChannel

For a time, it seemed as if The Twilight Saga: Eclipse director, David Slade, would be the man to bring the X-Men's favorite son, Wolverine, back to the big screen in the sequel to X-Men Origins: Wolverine. After his name popped up on a short list of directors angling for the job, Slade even confessed to having met with title star Hugh Jackman to discuss the movie, which made him seem like a lock. However, as we all know now, the job of directing The Wolverine ultimately went to The Wrestler director, Darren Aronofsky, whose new film, Black Swan, is currently in theaters. So, where did that leave Slade? Back to directing commercials and spending "a lot of time reading trying to find the right thing to do next." In a recent interview with HitFix, Slade discussed the "torturous" process of choosing a project, losing out on The Wolverine to Aronofsky and what projects he has lined up next.

Slade said that finding the next project to direct is a complicated, time-consuming process.

    "Things aren’t as simple as choosing and opening the door and walking through it. You know, there are torturous meetings, there are friendly meetings, there are meetings that you get to the point where you’re about to start out work on something and then everything shifts and the world falls from beneath your feet. The process of getting a feature film, getting [it] green-lit unless you’re one of the very, very, very, very, very, select few people is actually very complicated. Takes a lot of your time".

Since Eclipse, Slade said that he has had many movie offers, but was really only interested in directing two of them, one of them being The Wolverine.

HItFix Interviews David Slade & Shares His Future Plans

Hey Everyone,
Brand Fresh News! David Slade Talks to Hitfix's Alex Dorn for this lovely interview! Enjoy!

Interview by @paco3000 For @HitFix

Credit: Erica Farjo

Here is an Extract:

Now, “Eclipse” is the biggest you’ve done in terms of size and budget?

Slade: Yeah, I guess technically speaking, but I would say this: you do commercials and you get a million dollars to make a commercial. If you add that up per day, it’s a bigger budget than doing a $100 million movie. I think at the end of the day the figures that are involved in movies don’t really add up to much. At the end of the day, the question is not how “much it cost?” but “is it any good?”  It’s the same when you hear people say “oh this was a troubled production” or any kind of gossip. None of that lasts. At the end of the day, is the film any good or not? Technically speaking though I mean yes, it was the biggest budget not just films I’ve done, but actually I think it was the biggest budget “Twilight” movie of all of them. It was an epic huge thing with battles and you know massive huge sets and all kinds of special effects work and a very short schedule. Usually what happens when there’s not much time there has to be more money. 

 Right: the “impossible triangle?” 

Slade: It’s an old cliché but it’s a true…as many clichés are: It’s time, money, quality. Pick two.

In production you learn you are only allowed two of those three things, the third is always sacrificed. So if you want something done quickly (time) and cheaply(money) you will sacrifice quality, if you want something done well (quality) and fast (time) it’s not going to be cheap (money.) and so on -AD

Hollywood Crush Interviews David Slade & Shares Info For A Deleted Scene!

Hey Everyone,
It is David Slade's week...So here is another interview he gave to Hollywood Crush...

Via @HollywoodCrush

Here is a little extract...

Though he couldn't remember too many of the making-of segments, David was passionately involved with the DVD's deleted scenes special feature. He teases us with a preview of one such scene after the jump!

Fortunately for all you Bella and Edward fans, one of the film's cut scenes is a "sweet little moment" between the two. Apparently there was a running argument between the couple throughout the course of the film, but David ultimately decided to cut it from the film.

"We were trying to get the film to a manageable length, to flow really well, and it was like hitting a speed bump. You just felt it every time you hit these scenes," he explained.

EW Interviews David Slade

Hey Everyone!
Here is yet another interview of David Slade about Eclipse DVD. Enjoy!
Thanks to our Elite Affiliate Twiligt Lexicon for the tip.
via @TwilightLexicon via insidemovies.ew.com

Entertainment Weekly has their interview with David Slade posted.  Having watched the Blu-Ray myself, I wondered why there weren’t more deleted scenes.  In particular, I wanted to see the scene where Bella envisions her life with Jacob.  Slade addressed this issue and others  in the interview.

Why don’t we see all the deleted scenes described in the commentaries on the DVD?
Stewart describes the first thing she shot on the movie — a “fairly ridiculous” sequence in which she imagined herself in the fireside flashback as the Quileute elder chief’s third wife, who stabbed and sacrificed herself to distract the vengeful female vampire attacking the village. Meyer and Godfrey describe people laughing when they saw it. Understandable that they would choose not to include it. Ditto the scene Bella imagined after her kiss with Jacob on the mountain. She saw them having grown old together. “There were a lot of issues with prosthetic makeup,” Slade says with a groan, then a laugh. “It gives me a bit of a shiver, as a filmmaker. As an idea, it was wonderful. What happens with a film is it becomes organic and it grows, and it tells you what it wants, and it was screaming loudly, ‘I don’t want that!’ to me.” Another scene described in the commentaries never actually got shot. “Stephenie really wanted to see Edward as a young man again, and we had this vision scripted for a while where Bella and he are together in Victorian times, as a kind of reverie,” Slade says.

A Wedding For Bella and Edward in Eclipse?

Hey Everyone,
It seems that David Slade revealed that there was a case of an Early Wedding in Eclipse!
Next Movie had this exclusive bit :) Thanks to our Elite Affie Twilight Lexicon For The Tip!


Via @TwilightLexicon Via @NextMovie

Next Movie has shared part of their upcoming David Slade interview. (In case you are wondering, every media outlet in town interviewed David Slade during the last two days and their media embargo just lifted.) David shared this surprising tidbit:

“…according to David Slade, the director of the “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” adaptation, it[the wedding] might have come a little earlier on the big screen.

“We discussed a lot of the things at the script-writing stage — at one point, we were even going to shoot the wedding at the end of ["Eclipse"] but we knew there was another film coming,” Slade tells NextMovie exclusively.

“We knew that a lot of that could go into the next film.  And we just made the most concise version of this story that we could.”

LA Times Interviews David Slade For Eclipse DVD

Hey Everyone,
Here is another interview David Slade gave to LA Times :) Enjoy!


Via @LAtimes

Finished staring at the famous faces of Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner, that is. Slade, whose pedigree is in music videos and darker indies such as "Hard Candy," said he did his best with the "Eclipse" DVD to please the vampire saga's legions of fans.
"This is the only thing I've ever done that's had such a fan subculture, so with the deleted scenes I wanted to do a little justification for them," Slade said.
Chief among the scenes cut from the theatrical version of the film was an exchange between Stewart's Bella and her on-screen dad Charlie, played by Billy Burke.
[Spoiler alert!] The two have a bonding moment after her high school graduation, one of Bella's last mortal activities before Pattinson's Edward follows through on making her a vampire.
"It's all in Billy's face, when you watch the film 30-odd times or more, there's more in his face than in his words," Slade said. "I was so confident that was going to make it in, we did it in one shot. It was two people trying to be as close to each other as possible."
Fans will get to live that moment when the DVD hits stores on Dec. 4.

Collider Interviews David Slade for the Eclipse DVD Release

Hey Everyone,
It is coming! It is coming! :) David Slade was interviewed from several media the past two days...
Here is an interview he gave to Collider! Thanks to our Elite Affie Twilight Lexicon For The Tip!
Enjoy!


Via @TwilightLexicon From @Collider

As usual there is great stuff over at Collider. Christina Radish, who used to be at IESB, is now over at Collider. Christina has always provided great Twilight coverage no matter what site she works for:

“Earlier today, Collider had the opportunity to do an exclusive interview with director David Slade, in which he talked about all of the special features and extras that even the most hardcore fans are sure to enjoy, how every aspect of making the film was daunting, that one of his favorite scenes was the kitchen scene between Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Charlie (Billy Burke), and how he doesn’t judge a film by it’s financial or critical success, but rather how closely it achieves his original vision. He also said that he’s currently narrowing down what he’s going to be working on next, and that all of his choices are very different from his previous work.

Question: What will fans get most excited about, in regard to the special features and extras that you’ve selected for this DVD?

DAVID SLADE: You know, I don’t know. That’s bad. I made the film and haven’t even seen these things, except to approve them. What I will say is that I think it’s a point worth making that, for a film like this, because of the fan base, I liken it to a subculture. It’s not quite punk rock, but it’s a fan culture, like Star Wars fans. It’s a positive thing and I’ve always been very, very supportive of fan cultures. I’m a fan of all kinds of things. With a DVD, you want something you can own, you can watch, you can come to grips with and you can explore. It’s something larger than the film, when it’s going out to a fan base like this. So, I guess that’s my answer. I hope that they like all of it.

The thing that I remember doing myself is the commentary on the deleted scenes. I don’t do commentaries on films because A) I’m not very good at it and B) it’s an odd thing that I discovered, on my first film, that you go through this really intense experience of making a film and then you sit in a little room with a monitor and you reduce the thing to a bunch of silly anecdotes. It’s really unfulfilling and I’ve never really enjoyed listening to them anyway, so I just don’t do them. I’ve made a point, since then, of not doing them.

But, one of the things I thought was important, particularly because of this fan base and because of how much stock they put into the stories, was just to talk about the stuff we took out – that we shot and we didn’t put in – and the reasoning behind it. I felt it needed a bit of justification. There were some scenes that I actually really liked and would like to have put them in. And who knows? They may be favorites of people within the fan cultures. Film becomes a living organism. After awhile, it begins to tell you what it needs and you’re usually best listening.”
