Live Action Film
Originally, a sequel to the 2003 Daredevil film was in development, and was expected to use the "Born Again" storyline. Director Mark Steven Johnson had expressed interest in returning to direct with the "Born Again" storyline. The late Michael Clarke Duncan stated strong interest in reprising his role as the Kingpin. Johnson stated that villains Mr. Fear or The Owl are strong possibilities to appear for the sequel.
In March 2011, Variety reported that David Slade would direct a Daredevil reboot. In June 2011, it was reported that Fringe writer Brad Caleb Kane would be adapting the "Born Again" storyline for the film.
In August 2012, it was reported that Fox had turned down a pitch by director Joe Carnahan for a film based on Born Again. If a Daredevil film isn't in production by October 10, 2012 the film rights to Daredevil will revert back to Marvel. It is unknown if Marvel's Daredevil reboot will feature the Born Again storyline.

“If we live in the Nineteenth Century, why should we not enjoy the advantages which the Nineteenth Century offers? Why should our life be in any respect provincial?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The bugle-call to arms again sounded in my war-trained ear, the bayonets gleamed, the sabres clashed, and the Prussian helmets and the eagles of France stood face to face on the borders of the Rhine.... I remembered our own armies, my own war-stricken country and its dead, its widows and orphans, and it nerved me to action for which the physical strength had long ceased to exist, and on the borrowed force of love and memory, I strove with might and main.”
—Clara Barton (1821–1912)
“A film is a petrified fountain of thought.”
—Jean Cocteau (1889–1963)
