X-Files Director Talking Elektra
Rob Bowman (The X-Files) may direct Jennifer Garner in the Daredevil spin-off movie, Elektra.
Rob Bowman, who directed The X-Files movie and Reign of Fire, is in talks with 20th Century Fox and Regency Enterprise to helm Elektra from Zak Penn’s script.
Jennifer Garner stars in the Daredevil spin-off film which will “draw heavily from the graphic novels ‘The Elektra Assassin’ and ‘The Elektra Saga,’ as she battles the Hand, an organization of killers that trained her and then betrayed her,” according to Variety.
”Casting for other parts will begin shortly. One major character will be Stick, a martial arts trainer who is a venerable Marvel Comics figure. Principal photography is expected to start in May,” the trade said.
