Ben Affleck ("Jersey Girl") has been going around doing interview after interview promoting the crap out of David Fincher's
Gone Girl and it looks like it has paid off as the film is number one at the box office this weekend. To keep the good times rolling Batfleck chatted with
NPR (click here to listen), and during their discussion he shared his thoughts on the 2003
Daredevil film and the script Argo screenwriter Chris Terrio wrote for Zack Snyder's
Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice.
NPR: On whether he has any trepidation about starring in the upcoming Batman, given his regrets about the 2003 film Daredevil
BEN AFFLECK: Indeed I have regrets about Daredevil. I have regrets about all the movies that I don't think were executed properly. ... Look, if I thought we were remaking Daredevil, I'd be out there picketing myself ... and that goes for other movies as well that I haven't been happy with. You know, I'm hard on myself and I have exacting standards and I want to do excellent work and I don't always succeed, but I think you have to start out with that drive.
[Batman] was written by Chris Terrio, who wrote Argo, who's not a comic guy. And it's directed by Zach Snyder, who's a incredibly magical sort of visual stylist who's steeped in the comic world. And you have this sandwich of talents. I felt very confident about it. ... I thought it would be nice to make one of these movies really, really good.
BATMAN v SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE - Zack Snyder will direct. It's written by Chris Terrio, from a screenplay by David S. Goyer.
