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.

Famous quotes containing the words live, action and/or film:
“However, the danger in [socially unbalanced relationships] is that the subjection of the woman temporarily calms the man’s jealousy but also renders it more demanding. He ends up making his mistress live like those prisoners on whom light is shone day and night in order for them to be better watched. And things always end in tragedy.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“A dramatist is one who believes that the pure event, an action involving human beings, is more arresting than any comment that can be made upon it.”
—Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)
“Film as dream, film as music. No art passes our conscience in the way film does, and goes directly to our feelings, deep down into the dark rooms of our souls.”
—Ingmar Bergman (b. 1918)
