'The Twilight Saga: Eclipse' director David Slade to take on 'Daredevil 2'

It seems David Slade (director of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) is experiencing no shortage of work these days because, per Variety, he's nabbed yet another project: a new installment in the Daredevil film line.

According to that source, it won't be a reboot of the 2003 Ben Affleck-lead movie but "more a continuation" of that story - based on the Marvel comic series of the same name - the screenplay for which will be written in close contact with Slade himself.

If the studios involved in the new Daredevil project are hoping it can transcend the former two and reach a level of crisp, edgy cinema, then David Slade is certainly their guy (as evidenced by his work in 30 Days Of Night and Hard Candy).

Slade is also expected to direct Last Voyage Of The Demeter, and he is currently preparing to shoot the pilot for a new television series, REM (note: he directed an episode of Breaking Bad in New Mexico this winter).
