Product Description ------------------- Grittier and edgier than the original theatrical release, this extended-length Director's Cut version of Daredevil contains over 30 minutes of never-before-available scenes, including a devilish subplot in which Matt Murdock agrees to defend a not-so-innocent man framed for murder. Direction: Mark Steven Johnson Actors: Ben Affleck, Colin Farrell, Ellen Pompeo, Jennifer Garner, Joe Pantoliano, Special Features: Director's Cut Commentary by Mark Steven Johnson and Ari Arad; "Making of Director's Cut" - featurette. 2.35:1, Widescreen format. Language: English / Add. French, Spanish / Sub. English, French, Spanish Year: 2003 Runtime: 133 minutes Set Contains: ------------- The long-rumored director's cut of Daredevil delivers a better film, 30 minutes longer than the original due to not only new scenes but also small extensions here and there and the removal of the nonsensical love scene. There's more action--Daredevil beating up a biker bar, more Elektra-Bullseye, and more Kingpin--and more character for Matt Murdock, including his relationship with his dad, and banter with Foggy. Director-writer Mark Steven Johnson and producer Avi Arad (also Marvel's CEO) do a good commentary track discussing the changes and why they felt the original came up short (the studio wanted a faster pace, less violence, and more Jennifer Garner), though they do lapse into self-congratulation (when Johnson says people are divided on the playground scene, Arad asks, "Over what? 'Is it great' or 'is it tremendous'?"). There's also a 15-minute featurette about the new cut. Fans might want to hang onto the original DVD because of its copious bonus material, particularly the comic book-related features. --David Horiuchi
