New Images From Marvel's Daredevil

Not one but two! It's almost like it's Christmas...

In preparation for the masked vigilante’s 2015 Netflix debut, Father Christmas has delivered two new images of Daredevil to tide you over until the new year. Coming courtesy of Entertainment Weekly, the images see Charlie Cox’s Man Without Fear in and out of costume: first in his civilian guise as legal eagle Matt Murdoch, then cleaning up the streets as his crime-fighting alter ego.{New Daredevil TV Show Stills}

If you’re wondering why the latter outfit is a little more ‘Dread Pirate Roberts’ than Daredevil fans are used to, this is the prototype costume Murdoch dons in his early days (and indeed the Frank Miller Man Without Fear run), before busting out the more iconic burgundy leather devil suit.

In addition to the stills, Marvel’s Jeph Loeb dropped a couple of further hints about the show. “There aren’t going to be people flying through the sky; there are no magic hammers,” he said. “We’ve always approached this as a crime drama first, superhero show second.” Excited yet? Excellent.

Marvel’s Daredevil will debut on Netflix in the new year.

Taken 3 Becomes A 12A

Bryan Mills adds 'killing with kindness' to his skills...

Liam Neeson does not look happy. Admittedly, Bryan Mills often looks peeved or displeased, but that’s the nature of his life, where anyone from his family can be kidnapped at any time and he has to go and rescue them while taking out the bad guys. But in Taken 3, it appears – for UK audiences, at least – he’ll have to do so with a little less violence. 20th Century Fox has decided to edit the movie to receive a 12A.

The lower certification is in line with the studio’s release of recent films such as A Good Day To Die Hard, and is aimed at boosting the box-office potential. But it also runs the risk of alienating action fans that want Mills to be at his neck-snapping, head-crunching, bullet-firing best. Especially following the release of this 12 Skills Of Christmas promo.

UK classification board the BBFC announced the new rating, adding an explanation for the change. “During post-production, the distributor sought and was given advice on how to secure the desired classification. Following this advice, certain changes were made prior to submission,” runs the statement. “This film was originally seen for advice in an incomplete form. The BBFC advised the company that the film was likely to receive a 15, but that their requested 12A could be achieved by making reductions in scenes of violence. When the finished version was submitted for formal classification, those changes had been made and the film was classified 12A.”

So while we don’t expect Bryan to start offing villains using a feather duster for full-on tickle death (especially since the plot of the third film finds him framed for his ex-wife’s death and on a crusade to clear his name while protecting his daughter), you may have to wait for DVD to see the movie as director Olivier Megaton and producer Luc Besson intended. Taken 3 will gently arrive on our screens on January 8.

What Amy Adams Thought When She Saw Wonder Woman In Costume

When Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman arrives on the screen in Zack Snyder's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, it will be a fairly monumental moment. After all, despite the character's legendary status in pop culture, she has never actually been portrayed in a live-action movie. One can imagine that it will be set up as a pretty exciting moment for the audience in the grand spectrum of the film, but can you imagine what it was like actually see Wonder Woman on the set? Fortunately, Amy Adams has shared some insight on that subject. The actress is currently out promoting ...

The Boondock Saints 3 Is Happening, Get The Details

While The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day didn't exactly light up the box office when it was released back in 2009, that's apparently doing nothing to slow the production of a sequel, as star Norman Reedus is reporting that things are definitely moving forward with the making of The Boondock Saints III. Reedus spent part of his day today on Reddit for an Ask Me Anything session, and in between all of the questions about Daryl Dixon on The Walking Dead the actor confirmed that there are plans in the works for a third Boondock Saints film.
