Discuție Daredevil: Born Again

Here's the article — Vincent D’Onofrio Says ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ Overhaul Isn’t ‘Big News’ and ‘I’d Be Worried If We Were Settling for Less’

For those who are specifically fans of this character, or all of us as general movie fans, here's an encouraging insider insight:

“Every cool project I’ve been involved with has evolved constantly during pre-production, production and post,” D’Onofrio went on to explain. “It’s just reported on these days as if it’s big news. It’s not. It’s a bunch of creatives doing their best to get it right. It’s a constant in this business. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Frankly I’d be worried if we were settling for less.”

Cool. But then, here's a peek into the slimy side of the industry that has put creatives at odds with studios since James Cagney, since Mary Pickford (in other words, pretty much since the beginning):

“It’s an old Disney scam where they slightly rename a series to reset contract terms back to first season,” DeKnight wrote on X/Twitter. “Needs to be addressed by all the guilds/unions and crushed! From what I understand, I’m not going to see a penny from ‘Daredevil: Born Again’ because they added the ‘Born Again’ and can claim it’s a completely different show,” he explained. “You know, with the exact same two lead actors (who I love!) playing Daredevil and Fisk.”

We outsiders don't really appreciate how vile the movie industry can be and often is. The industry itself tries to tell us, revealing bits of itself in movies such as Swimming with Sharks, The Player, Babylon, Sunset Boulevard, just to quickly name a few, but noting the similarity running through these very different movies - people die, disappear, lose their way, are grinded up in the machinations of this industry...but the industry grinds on.

No way, so they completely sidestep legal obligations by adding a ": bla bla bla"? Sounds really slimy!

In all fairness though, I guess this is what happens when a tv series is made from an earlier source (comic book, movie, etc). The series itself is a remake, so any series writers & contributors have no rights as 'original' creators. Rights & royalties stay exclusively with the comic book or film's creator. In other words, no honor among thieves 😜

Still, it's unfair. If someone builds on an old idea in a significant way, the new creation should be acknowledged legally. I don't know how it works but I'm sure there's much room for legal slimery.

A really interesting example is the song "Hey Joe" which we all remember from Jimi Hendrix. Jimi's version was an altered rework of an earlier version by a guy named Billy Roberts. The funny thing is, after Jimi's version became insanely popular, Billy Roberts went back and did a "George Lucas" remake of his own song which was essentially a ripoff of Jimi's remake! I bet the lawyers had a field day with that one (either that or they decided not to touch it)!

If this concerns copyrights (not trademarks), then Disney might worry a bit about Mickey Mouse and other characters it created.
