Elektra Lives Movie

[DRA]

20th Century Fox on Wednesday announced an Elektra spin-off movie from Daredevil.

Following is the studio's press release:

"The hidden clues to the biggest mystery in the blockbuster film Daredevil have been revealed: Elektra lives! With audiences clamoring for more of the female warrior, Twentieth Century Fox and Regency Enterprises today announced that, in addition to a Daredevil sequel, they are moving forward with a new event film based on the Elektra character.

"The new Elekra story will be set after the events depicted in Daredevil. Jennifer Garner will reprise the role she brought to life in that film, and script development will begin immediately.

"Elektra first appeared in Daredevil comics in 1980 with words and art by comics legend Frank Miller. The character is the daughter of powerful and rich Greek business tycoon Nikolas Natchios and the girlfriend of Matt Murdock / Daredevil. Although she possesses no superhuman abilities, Elektra is a consummate practitioner of the martial arts, and wields a pair of three-pronged daggers, or sai."

ELEKTRA WRITERS NAMED, 2004 PRODUCTION SKED SET

According to a report in today’s Variety by Michael Fleming, Fox is looking at a 2004 production start on Elektra, with Jennifer Garner reprising her role from Daredevil. The studio has named Stu Zicherman and Raven Metzner to write the script, and filiming will coincide with Garner’s hiatus from Alias.

According to Fleming, the screenwriters were hired thanks to the studio, production team, and Garner being impressed with their draft of Deathlok. The new film will be produced by Mark Steven Johnson, Gary Foster, and Marvel's Avi Arad, and will pick up shortly after the events in Daredevil, and will feature Elektra battling the Hand. Fleming reports that the film will draw heavily on Frank Miller’s storylines from Daredevil.

While he is producing, Johnson will not direct, as he is now attached to Ghost Rider. Johnson is expected to direct Daredevil 2, however.

ELEKTRA MOVIE UPDATE

According to Variety, Rob Bowman is in discussions to direct Elektra, the movie spinning off from Daredevil and starring Jennifer Garner.

Bowman's credits include The X-Files feature film and Reign of Fire.

The Elektra film is written by Zak Penn, who worked on X2. The story will include The Hand and Stick, sources have confirmed for The Continuum.

During The Continuum's recent visit to Marvel Studios, Kevin Feige described the film's villains.

"She doesn't have the sort of spectacular, over-the-top, costumed, made-up mutated villains," he said. "She has what we believe to be very scary, very sleek, very organized and very deadly adversaries.

"The tone of the film will be fun and adventurous, but the villains always fit their heroes. And Elektra doesn't wear a mask or hide her face. It will be unique villans that I think people will recognize and be very excited to see."

Feige said that, similar to most second films featuring Marvel characters, Elektra's costume will probably be tweaked from the one she wore in Daredevil.

Mark Steven Johnson, who wrote and directed Daredevil, and his partner, Gary Foster, who produced Daredevil, will be producers on Elektra. Johnson and Foster are also working on the Ghost Rider film. Marvel's Avi Arad is also producing.

Production is expected to start in May, timed to coincide with Garner's hiatus from Alias.

Bueno, es bueno saber que Jennifer Garner esta ya confirmada como Elektra, es una lástima que sea Mark Steven Johnson uno de los involucrados con este Proyecto... ojalá esté dirigida al menos por un Director con 1/2 chapa mas que Mark Steven Johnson. De todos modos, a mí este Proyecto por ejemplo me gusta mas que el de Catwoman... al menos Avi Arad tuvo la delicadeza de conseguir a Garner para el Papel...

Saludos.

“Elektra”
to Begin Filming May 3 in Vancouver; More Details of Plot Out
Written 02-20-2004 by ChrisFaile

While word on 20th Century Fox’s upcoming production “Elektra” production has been mostly quiet over the past 6 months, the film finally saw concrete movement Thursday morning with the news that Rob Bowman (“The X-Files”) is in talks to direct the film. Now, FilmJerk.com has learned that the "Daredevil" film spin-off is casting a number of lead roles and, more importantly, further details of the plot have been revealed, all in anticipation of a May 3 start of principal photography in Vancouver.

Taking a page from the storylines found in both the "The Elektra Assassin" and "The Elektra Saga" graphic novels, the film finds Elektra (Jennifer Garner) again working for the Order of the Hand, the group that trained – and then abandoned – her. At the request of Kirigi, the film’s villain, she is told to target Harbor Island man named Mark Miller because, she is told, of an act his grandfather performed. A widower, Miller is a likeable man introduced to Elektra by his 13-year-old daughter Abby. After falling for him, Elektra becomes his protector and has to fend off four ninja assassins dispatched by Kirigi. But there is more to Mark Miller than he appears, as he has aligned himself with Stick, Elektra’s former mentor, and both he and his daughter are able to defend themselves. In the end, with Kirigi’s four assassins defeated, Kirigi faces off against Elektra.

In addition to Mark and Abby Miller, producers are now casting for several lead roles. According to our sources, they include:

Kirigi: Described as being younger the other Hand leaders, he has designs on leading the clan of assassins. Favoring the old ways, he deceptively wears a Zen monk’s traditional robes and bears a hardened scowl.


Tengu: One of Kirigi's four assassins, he bears animal tattoos that mysteriously move about his skin. Given the ability to morph his tattoos into living creatures, Tengu uses his creatures as scouts to spy on his prey.


Stone: An enormous man whose flesh seems to be made of something akin to stone, he makes the very floor buckle under his large feet. Because of his hardened skin, Elektra's sais have no effect on him.


Typhoid: Perhaps the most interesting part, Typhoid is a woman wearing a kimono and a porcelain white mask. Offering a kiss that is ultimately poisonous, Typhoid can reduce a foe to a feverish corpse.


Roshi: The elderly leader of The Hand's counsel, he has long had an amiable competition with Stick.

We have not received word on how exactly the events come to play out here after her apparent death in 2003’s “Daredevil.”

In its news article Thursday, Variety made one error we’d like to correct: Zak Penn has re-written the most current draft of the script, basing his efforts on the original script scribed by Raven Metzner and Stuart J. Zicherman. Variety credited Penn as the project’s sole screenwriter there.

The Scorecard
Producer: Gary Foster
Director: TBA
Writers: Raven Metzner and Stuart J. Zicherman (with Zak Penn revisions)
Casting Directors: Michael Hothorn and Seth Yanklewitz
Start Date: May 3, 2004
Location: Vancouver
Production Company: New Regency Productions
Distributor: 20th Century Fox
