New DAREDEVIL Poster Online and it's hot as hell!
Folks, Harry here... While it is indeed true that I have ingested a moderate amount of absynthe tonight... that green witch's brew has yet to cause fairies to appear, except for Rav, but even through this shifting gaze and taste of wormwood... I can tell that this poster kicks ass and counts the teeth left on the floor.
I can't wait to see the next trailer for this baby. I'm dying to see the inevitable VALENTINE'S DAY themed TV spots... what a date film?!?!? If she's down for it, marry er. I will say this about the new age of Marvel Films... Not only are they nailing their characters on screen, but the Advertisements are absolutely dead on. Do you see big block letters advertising BEN AFFLECK?
No!
In MARVEL Films we finally have a production unit that understands completely that it isn't about the Star - it is the CHARACTER that is paramount in these films. This is DAREDEVIL... period. This isn't about real world egos, its about fantasy. It's about selling the concept of a character and not saying... This is Ben Affleck PLAYING LIKE he's Daredevil... No... just flat-out... this is DAREDEVIL. Check it out... you'll agree. This is Daredevil, and February 14th can't get here soon enough!

Am I the first Talk back? Wow D-devil looks cool. Anyone need a good PA in LA? I would love to work on a movie like this. How do you get a job in this town!Its hard out here, do you have to know harry or something? Anyone?
thanks,

That is all.
-
So what's that, the third or fourth time they've found a way to release this "new" image of Daredevil? They're really squeezing the hell out of this one PR shot.
-
...standard, moody, rainsoaked, rooftop, hero shot. I agree that it's good that there is no big 'BEN AFFLECK IS Daredevil' plastered over it.
-
in those early preview shots?
Very similar corner of rooftop, anyway.
:P -
...but I don't see any teeth on the floor. Too standard. Not sexy. Whoever that artist is who's working on the main Daredevil title now-- his covers should have inspired these people to be a little more imaginative.
-
I loved Afleck in Chasing Amy, even liked him as Jack Ryan. That's the type of part this guy should play. Ever.
But even in the previews for this movie, and in that suit he doesn't look like an acrobatic, athletic martial artist. Not even a little.
He looks like a baseball player, maybe. A pitcher.
Now if Matt Damon was playing the part, I'd be juiced to see it. -
This poster is escatly the same (apart from some rain and a natty red sky) as the one they released before...and the perspective of the ledge compared to DD is STILL wrong....if they can get the poster right what hope does the film have???
-
Can anyone pick what that's from?
-
I KNOW I spelt "exactly" wrong...but guess what fanboys...I dont care...I have a girlfriend and regular sex....AH HAHAHA....(god I'm bored...i'm commenting on a fucking DAREDEVIL poster!??!?))
-
2-14-03? They're opening on Valentine's day. What's the matter? Afraid of Matrix Reloaded? I'm sure some romantic comedy staring Jennifer Aniston will bury this film. Maybe someday I'll have my way and Peter Krause will be Matt Murdock. Until then, I'll just clutch onto my trade paperback copy of Born Again.
-
They could have fit one on the side or something. Nice poster though. Very eyecatching and not jumbled up with a bunch of faces who star in the film(e.g. Scream, Halloween, Planet of the Apes, etc..). Old Monkey likes!

Harry, you're just hoping its going to be as good as the poster,
by rant_man
I never judge a movie until seen by my eyes. I don't understand why not many other people live by that rule...they all love a movie they haven't even seen, just because the promo stuff is purty.
Don't let that crap fool you! It's all puppets and stew meat! -
As a resident gay poster to the site, I can confirm that gay men everywhere are indeed swooning. LOL -- Ben Affleck in dick-licious red leather! It's so stereotypically gay I can't believe the studio's put it out there. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not already on display at Man's Country or Cell Block here in Chicago.
-
This movie is going to have to get *amazing* reviews to lure me into the theater.
-
My question is, how are they going to fit Affleck's head into the car door? I guess they're going to have to make it a convertible so he can jump in and out and his big fat misshapen head can stick out of the top, right?
-
I thought February was when all of the studios dump their garbage into the movie theaters? I guess we'll see if this holds true or not.
-
The Spider-Man posters were inspired cool. This is a very staged promo shot of Affleck in leather in the rain, it's dark, it's dull. My spidey sense is up on this one.
-
...how leather getups have become a stereotypical icon of the homosexual subculture, when they were first adopted by the gay community to make them appear tougher and more masculine? sk

This looks alright.......there is a Village People aspect to it
by kingkarll
....I am sure they aren't trying for that, but with Superheroes, it's jest gonna happen. It either looks like Wrestling stuff or ummmmm....Frisco Pete, ya know? But the character is cool-if they handle it right-this could be a fun franchise.
-
"I have a girlfriend and regular sex"???? THAT'S your comment? Christ, how immature ARE you? Anyway, standard poster. Nothing too exciting. I'd like to see a series of them, featuring th major players in the movie, with a little more flair than this. I'm psyched for the movie, have no serious problem with Affleck, so I'm not gonna rail against the poster. It's just a little... bland, I guess.
-
Bad move....looks like Sept. 11th.
-
Is that anything like synthahol on Star Trek? Do you mean "absinthe"? Boy, I hope you were not in the US when you drank it. It's ILLEGAL here, you know.
-
I think your post is offensive and tasteless. You make me want to...just joking. That's funny shit.
-
It looks like every other superhero movie poster. I liked the eye chart one alot better that was original.
-
I mean putting that bold fire red sky behind him kinda makes me see it different. Now it's not as camp as a bunch of boy scouts pitching a tent... It's just pretty gay, instead of Blue Oyster gay.
-
That's because Affleck's head wouldn't fit on the poster. This outfit's gonna make a big splash at Gay Pride Parades. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
-
The preview and costumes for this movie is mediocre at best. Nothing really stands out. The costume for DD is actually quite comical.
I hope the villians laugh in his face throughout the movie. -

by chaffro
"Suits you better, brother."
-
I like how Harry makes a comment about his absinthe-drinking on every new article... it's like the guy at the party that has to let you know that he's stoned. "Hey man I'm sooooo stoned man!" As far as Daredevil goes, it's gonna be entertainment. I mean, at least he (probably) won't make the world spin around backwards to reverse time...
-
Let's see - count down DD's costume attributes: 1) Red. 2) Form fitting. 3) Horns and a "DD" on it. Having run down the list, do you homophobic morons think he'd look MORE manly in red spandex? Should he wear a matching red Garanimals outfit or something? Maybe a red pair of footie jammies? Considering they have to bring a two-dimensional image to a three-dimensional medium, they did a great job with the outfit.
-
That line alone sent me into inappropriate laughter. As far as best superhero posters go, I'd have to agree about the Rocketeer. The Spider-Man posters weren't bad either. And I always liked The Crow.
-
You're the king, brother.
-
Christ, I know. Is Harry really a 12 year old boy, trying on his mommy's underwear and sneaking vodka/whiskey/scotch/absynthe from his parent's liquor cabinet? He sounds like it.
-
Hi Ben! Didn't know you haunted the boards around here!
-
The teaser trailer was bland, and this poster aint much better. Looks like an action cartoon *rollseyes* I fear the worst for DD...

Since when does leather = gay? You jackasses have issues.
by mr. waturi
I agree 100% with hipcheck. Considering the challenge of trying to make a superhero outfit that doesn't look goofy, I think they did a good job. Leather is just leather. Does wearing a leather jacket make you look gay? Or is it just pants? or is it the combo or the color? Or is it the fit? Could one of you insecure turds break down the leather/gay formula for me?
Seriously, is your vision so clouded by homophobia that you can't see how hot Jennifer Garner looks in her black leather outfit? -
Would you kick A red spandexed Ben Affleck outta bed for eating crackers? If they paid you enough money, would you tattoo "Affleck & Damon Forever" on your forehead for a year?

A. It's fake B. It's Photoshop C. I could do better

Leather in the rain? Wasn't there a Seinfeld episode about that
by johnnytremaine
By the way, if Daredevil wears skintight full-body leather in the rain, wouldn't it stick to his body and restrict movement, thus allowing him to get his ass kicked?
-
was the "Eye Chart" poster a few months back. A nice teaser, said everything that needed to be said about the film. Sure, it didn't have leather, but hey you can't have everything. I'm still looking forward to this one - I think the filmmakers have stuck close enough to the source material and have made changes that are interesting, and not uncalled for in the comic. And I can't wait to see Michael Clarke Duncan's Kingpin.
-
Still liked it.
-
He's everything geeks aren't: rich, handsome, tall, buff, sexually active, etc.
-
The December Playboy has a picture of her in a see-through dress
-
He's everything Shatner isn't. No flying leg kick, no shoulder roll. When Affleck was out getting miscast in "Movie Star" roles Shatner was out saving the galaxy, killing Klingons and banging a different alien chick every week. Shatner had a cool first officer named "Spock" and Affleck has a guy named "Damon". Shatner may overact, but Affleck is a wooden smarmy, UNentertaining frat boy. Shatner would have never had to dress in red to be cool.EVER. If you're gonna wield a Shatner moniker, for God's sake man put it in perspective.
-
As I understand it, the following make a man gay: any kind of leather, excepting leather belts, shoes, wallets, and (maybe) bomber jackets. Any kind of alcohol that isn't beer or straight hard liqour. Hugging or telling any man "I love you," even close relatives. Crying. Watching any movie that doesn't have multiple explosions and/or eviscerations. Commenting in anyway on the attractiveness of another man. Listening to classical music, Abba, or Depeche Mode. Having a lisp. Not liking sports. Caring about your appearance. Owning a small dog or any kind of cat. Not wanting to fight. And I think there's some more stuff too. Maybe something about being sexually attracted to other men, but I'm sure it's not important. sk

With his role in Mallrats (A+++), Dazed and Confused (A+++), and Chasing Amy (big fat F--- which made me forever question his ability). He's funny in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, too.

Can you imagine if these two have a baby? If it comes out head first, J-Lo is dead. If it comes out ass first, J-Lo is dead. Gotta have a C-section.

Looks like someone shit in his cereal.

While you're jerking off to a Britney Spears calendar, Affleck is banging J-Lo

or has Harry become a carnival barker?

but damn, the Gimp thing was funny. Wonder if Zed drums his fingers over his head again.
-
Ok Spiderman was wearing your so called spandex and he didnt look half as retarded as dd's biker outfit.
-
It almost gives Affleck's head something that approximates human porportions.
-
I smiled a lot reading these posts, because actually many are fairly insightful. This is the deal about leather and gay guys: leather in general is not gay. Wear a leather jacket, leather pants, leather belt, shoes, etc. Fine. But Daredevil's got a whole skin tight leather UNIFORM WITH S&M MASK. And he's got that...stance. I can already see the gay porn ripoff coming now: "Beardevil". BTW, for an interesting comic comparison, check out the Rage Gay Crusader comic book from Showtime's Queer as Folk Website. http://sho.com/rageishere/

Anybody else heard about that new all CGI Mighty Mouse flick?

Paramount's going ahead with it...I am slightly curious.

The gay lists were funny as hell. Here are a list for closet gays. These are things that are considered "manly" but are homoerotic, or are used to overcompensate for secret homosexual desires: Attending a spring training or preseason game of any sport. Listening to Tom Leykus on the radio. Wearing a jersey or t-shirt with another man's name or likeness on it. Going to strip clubs when you're sober. Using the word "faggy." Taking your wife and kids to Hooters. Kicking or hitting your friend in the nuts as a practical joke. Dressing up as a woman for Halloween.
-
I thought the Dare Devil poster was really good. Ohhhh, but the movie???? *a tiny glimmer of hope makes my eyes wet.. but I brush it away because I don't care anymore*
-
gosh, you guys are all jamming on how much it suxs, mmm literally, to be gay-- but those are all good things. More good things-- painting your toenails with your best girl while watching Pammy vamp it up on VIP then ordering indian food, having a cute little dog that everyone thinks is a puppy even tho he's ten years old, velvet panties, barbie pink, MAC lipstick Viva Glam III, mmmmmmm.. ah, whatever.
-
I can't claim to be the world's biggest expert, but I'm pretty certain about this one...
If you want to have sex with guys, but don't want to do it with girls... you can pretty much guess you're gay -
Nov 01, 2002 7:25:13 PM CST
I cant belive how f#*kin cool Affleck looks in that costume.
by manwiththedogs
if this movie lives up to it's hype (seen this months Wizard?) it will be a minor miracle.
-
Hmmmm. That's a good one. We'll add that one to the list.
-
Somebody please take that poster into photoshop and give him a Village People moustache. A Champagne Hot Pocket to the one who does it first. Beardevil. Ha!
-
Its "BareDevil" Dammit
-
...makes him look like a red Captain America.
-
I can't wait to see how they fuckin' do his radar sense!!!
-
It's a good thing they kept that ugly bitch Garner off the poster. Unless they want to scare people away.
-
You know, theres a hell of a lot of people here obsessed with gay stuff, being gay, and all its trappings. Now from the out and out homosexuals, I can understand it. But some of you "straight" people, it seems to be all you can talk about. Half the Talk Backs here run rampant with it. Really guys, its a little suspect, you know? I think some of you protest too much...
-
Nov 02, 2002 1:26:09 PM CST
Even if the DD movie is a p.o.s., I WANT THAT POSTER!
by beautiful thing
DareDevil is coming out on Valentine's Day?!? The whole "a guy falls in love all over again with a girl he hasn't seen since college (or has never seen AT ALL for that matter), but unfortunately she gets impaled by an professionnal assassin" storyline might be a bit of a downer for February 14.

Passing notes between stalls in men's restrooms is GAY?!?
by beautiful thing
How else am I suppose to tell the construction worker taking a crap besides me that his cologne is a little too musky?
-
Maybe he should quit posing long enough to put the sky out. Just a suggestion.
-
All this commenting on how the Costume looks gay blah, blah , blah. Well I am wondering how you guys think the costume should have been done? Red spandex? Look at Alex Ross's paintings and see how stupid he makes so many superheroes look in their tights. To me this looks as good as the costume could have been done.

A DareDevil would be more exciting of they cast the right people
by tarl_cabot
Ben Affleck: Died red hair doesn't make him a good choice. He is too young(30 but seems 25) and boyish-make that, frat-boyish. Thomas Jane would have been a great call. Colin Farrel: is also too young and pretty to be threatening(cliche bald heads and gotes are so common now that it's not enough to convince me one is tough). Vin Deisel should have been giving a blank check. This film was also shot entirely in L.A. b/c they couldn't afford to shoot in NY, where it's supposed to take place(remember that Spiderman TV show that was shot in L.A.?). Jenifer Garner: is very cool and hot but she has brown hair in this movie. Electra is a black haired GREEK chic-maybe a fanboy pet peeve so I'll give her a great chance to pull it off but it looks like they didn't try too hard. Anyway, my main concern was the small budget and that costume. It sucks. I'll be there opening day regardless b/c I'm a DD fan but I wish I had higher expectations...
-
Ugggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhh! What a shame that Asslick is portraying such a great character. Hopefully his watermelon of a head won't ruin this movie. God willing that MCD and the hottness of Jenny Garner will make this movie worth watching. If not we have X2 and Spider-Man, and the Hulk (which all have hot women) coming next year as well. Oh and commenting on how great Ben Affleck and his Faggot Matt Damon also I beileve makes some queer.
-
why all the fags in here?
-
Gonna hope for the best but I wish it was...Christian Bale as DareDevil/Matt Murdoch, Jolene Blalock as Elektra, Pro-Wrestler Vader as the Kingpin (was interviewed on a show about pro wrestling a few years back and was very articulate, think his other career is in real estate), Jason Statham as Bullseye-in full costume, Mickey Rourke as Jack Murdoch and Lance Henriksen as Stick!! Would've been a good touch to have J.K. Simmons reprise his role as J. Jonah Jameson giving Ben Urich grief... oh well...have to wait and see!
-
Favs rools.
-
C'mon, y'all! Moon Knight! Anyone? You know, jet and silver avatar of the moon's vengeance? Anyone?
-
Great casting job TheVision. I could see this cast in the movie. But unfortunately we are stuck with some poor casting choices (MCD seems like the only good pick in the bunch) and Colin Farrel is okay--but I like the comic costume--that should have stayed the same.
-
Fucking right, Harry. Hardcore. I drive a Ducati race bike and wear a leather suit to --get this--PROTECT my body! This is the most realistic costume design I've ever seen. Leather is what saves your ass in a slide. DD should be in leather!
-
"I drive a Ducati race bike" Sure you do, pal, sure you do...
