David Slade Leaves ‘Daredevil’. Josh Trank Officially Moving Forward On ‘Fantastic Four’

While FOX may have no big announcements at this years Comic-Con we do have some news for you. It seems David Slade has walked away from ‘Daredevil’ due to his commitment to direct the ‘Hannibal’ pilot. This is good news for Marvel Studios due to FOX is now facing a fall deadline to begin shooting or the rights for the character revert back to Marvel. FOX may get a new director rush this film out to hold on to the rights though and once again leave us with a not so good taste in our mouths. ‘Ghost Rider: Spirit Of Vengeance’ received similar treatment.

FOX is also finally moving forward with the reboot of ‘Fantastic Four’ with Josh Trank (‘Chronicle’) attached to direct. Trank has apparently put all of his other projects on hold to  make this movie first and it may go into production next spring in order to see a 2014 release.
