Does the few scenes of Jon Favreau, director of IRON MAN, sway you into purchasing DAREDEVIL on Blu-Ray?
One of the more ridiculous attempts at cashing in on a recent successful film is the front cover image of the new Blu-Ray transfer of DAREDEVIL: THE DIRECTOR'S CUT which came out on Tuesday in the U.S. Can you see it? The stupid little grey box that says, "Featuring Jon Favreau, director of IRON MAN as Foggy Nelson"!. lol. Now you remember DAREDEVIL right? Jon Favreau was best friend to Ben Affleck's Matt Murdock, I believe he was only ever present in scenes with Ben. He was the typical support character for Ben, if you have ever seen the excellent show Curb Your Enthusiasim, he was much like Larry David's friend Jeff. So how can Marvel possibly justify putting his name on the front cover in front of the three leads Affleck (who is playing the title character no less but of course, he ain't that popular no more), Jennifer Garner and Colin Farrell? Well apparently because he directed (notice the word DIRECTED) IRON MAN, that juggernaut Paramount movie this year. Which he also, even more briefly, appeared in. So because he directed IRON MAN, does that suddenly mean there will be a rush on to see him support DAREDEVIL, a movie five years old? Not likely, I will be surprised if it even convinced one person to the buy the film. I could unstand if it were a Favreau led movie, like SWINGERS. But not as Foggy Nelson for a few scenes in DAREDEVIL. Pathetic!
