The Marvel / Disney+ series Daredevil: Born Again went into production last year – then when the strikes hit, it underwent a creative overhaul that, according to Vincent D’Onofrio (who plays the villainous Kingpin / Wilson Fisk on the show), has ensured that this new series is now directly connected to the Daredevil series that ran for three seasons on the Netflix streaming service. So not only are D’Onofrio and Charlie Cox (who plays Daredevil / Matt Murdock) back in their roles, but so are Elden Henson and Deborah Ann Woll as Murdock’s associates Foggy Nelson and Karen Page. Daredevil: Born Again is now back in production, and behind-the-scenes images posted on social media have shown Cox, D’Onofrio, Henson, and Woll on set, along with new cast addition Margarita Levieva as Murdock’s latest love interest, Heather Glenn. These images can be seen at the bottom of this article.

Dario Scardapane, who worked on Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan and the Marvel / Netflix series The Punisher, was brought in to serve as showrunner on Daredevil: Born Again during the creative overhaul. The behind-the-scenes shake-up also led to Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, the directing team who were at the helm of multiple episodes of Moon Knight and Loki season 2, being hired as directors on the show. Matt Corman and Chris Ord were previously the head writers on the show, but they were let go.

We recently heard that Wilson Bethel will be reprising the role of Benjamin “Dex” Pointdexter / Bullseye, while the show is also bringing Jon Bernthal back as Frank Castle / The Punisher. Also in the cast are Michael Gandolfini and Sandrine Holt, who replaces Ayelet Zurer as Wilson Fisk’s wife Vanessa.

When Daredevil: Born Again was first announced, it was said that the first season of the show would consist of eighteen episodes. We don’t know for sure if the creative overhaul has had an impact on the episode count. Rumors have indicated that it might end up being closer to the episode of the Netflix show, which had thirteen episodes per season.

Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman: Tim Burton to direct a reimagining of the 1958 sci-fi horror classic

Welcome to the Burtonaissance, friends! After blowing up Netflix charts with the delightfully binge-able Addams Family series Wednesday and debuting the title and release date for the long-anticipated Beetlejuice sequel, Tim Burton is ready to announce another project! According to Deadline, Tim Burton is teaming up with Warner Bros. Pictures to reimagine the sci-fi horror classic Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman!

Former Entertainment Weekly reporter and novelist Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl, Sharp Objects, Widows) is penning the script, with Tim Burton lined up to direct. In the 1958 Nathan Juran-directed classic, an abused socialite, Nancy Fowler Archer (Allison Hayes), grows to gigantic size because of an alien encounter and a scrapped murder attempt. After rising to an alarming height, Nancy pursues her cheating husband with revenge coursing through her veins. Prepare yourselves for death and desire! A rampage of destruction and a new high in terror!

Tim Burton returns to the ’50s for this larger-than-life thriller after directing 1996’s Mars Attacks, based on the Topps trading card craze. In Mars Attacks, Martians invade Earth with unbeatable weapons and a cruel sense of humor. Exploding with Burton’s signature style, the film features an A-list cast of Hollywood heavy hitters, including Jack Nicholson, Pierce Brosnan, Sarah Jessica Parker, Annette Bening, Glenn Close, Danny DeVito, Martin Short, Michael J. Fox, Pam Grier, Jack Black, Natalie Portman, Paul Winfield, Lisa Marie, Lukas Haas, Jim Brown, and Sylvia Sidney!

Tim Burton’s Beetlejuice Beetlejuice rises from the grave to haunt theaters on September 6, 2024. Michael Keaton returns as Beetlejuice for the highly-anticipated and long-gestating sequel, with Winona Ryder returning as Lydia Deetz, Jenna Ortega as Lydia’s daughter, Catherin O’Hara as Delia Deetz, Monica Belluci as Beetlejuice’s wife, Willem Dafoe as a law officer in the afterlife, and Justin Theroux in a mysterious role. Hopes are extraordinarily high for Burton’s Beetlejuice sequel, with the original hailed as a horror comedy classic to aspire to.

After unleashing Grata Gerwig’s Barbie to a $1.44 billion box office score, could WB hope that lightning strikes twice with Tim Burton’s Attack of the Fifty Foot Woman? Who should play the lead character? Where should the story take place? California? Las Vegas? Let’s see your suggestions in the comments section below.
