Discussions are taking place now with the Daredevil star, after Tom Selleck, the actor who originated the role on the television series, turned down the part for the silver screen.
Selleck, who played Thomas Sulllivan from 1980 until 1988, feels that the project has taken too long to come to life, and he is now too old for the part. One of the project’s producers said, "I think it will be wonderful. Unfortunately it won’t star Tom. He was asked to do six or eight TV movies and at that time he really wanted to do it as a feature, so he held out on it and probably now they will consider him too old to do it."
