One of the best looking baddies I've seen in a while.
Some pretty substantial Elektra news today.
We first heard of reports of the teaser trailer and now new Elektra
pics/stills over at Empire Movies.
Elektra Teaser Trailer
No, there is no trailer out yet for Elektra, starring Jennifer
Garner in this off-shoot film of Daredevil. However, details are
starting to surface which claim that the film will be sweet, sick, and awesome.
The best description comes from the Natural Flux site with some of the description
stating:
I can proudly say i saw the Elektra trailer tonight. I can also safely
say that this movie....is going to kick ass.
It's feeling is very much "X-2" at this stage. The mutation of
the baddies that poor old hotty Jennifer Garner has to face is made clear
in the film via cgi shots, and the narration says something along the lines
of the X-2 trailers about being "unique" or "different"
.The trailer even mentions that Elektra comes "from the studio that
brought you X-MEN" but declines to give a similar mention to Daredevil;
from following material it's clear that FOX are trying to distance Elektra
from the mixed reaction that DareDevil garnered in 2003.
Typhoid Mary also features pretty prominently and theres considerably strong
CGI with an explosion blowing out a building at the ending of the trailer
and such features as computer generated snakes appearing on a female character
like the Medusa, with other snakes coming down some sort of passage plus
a CG wolf emerging from one bad guy's body before running into a forest.
Elektra also runs up a big old branch and splinters the wood by jumping
into midair ala "Crouching Tiger" .Theres some "Kill Bill"
and "Punisher" style action going on in the trailer, with kimonos
and swords a plenty, and Elektra apparently training in a white outfit on
an oriental stage next to a lake, but its all looking very dark and is done
in low saturated colour.

New Elektra Pics and Still Online
Empire Movies has recently got its hands on some good looking character
pics from Elektra. After looking at the pics, I can't say I have
any idea about the style the film will take or the setting. The characters
look pretty random; I never got into the character in the comics. However,
the coolest pic [again] is the one of Typhoid Mary,
played by the hottie Natassia Malthe.
