I was impressed by Jennifer Garner's protrayal of Elektra in the Daredevil movie, so I've been keeping a close eye on the new spin-off movie, hoping it doesn't end up like Catwoman.
The new movie site, elektramovie.com, has just opened this week, with a synopsis, wallpaper, and video clips. The American synopsis is pratically useless, mainly namedropping who's in the cast, though it mentions that Elektra has "kimagure," the limited ability to see into the future. (What?)
The European synopsis actually says a lot more of the actual plot. Elektra's haunted by the death of her parents as well as her own death, and becomes an assassin to sate her rage, but she needs "something more than a reason to kill... a reason to live." It also mentions Typhoid Mary, but I doubt she'll be anything like DD's schizoid nemesis.
There's been very little hype or advertising out yet for this movie, despite it coming out in January. The costume looks okay, but I liked the DD costume better. I remain optimistic and hopeful that the movie will be cool. Just think: Terence Stamp as Stick!

How can there be different sites- american and european? Does this mean we focus on stars and Europeans focus on plot? Hmmm. At least it doesn't look like Catwoman- though it seemed like an X-men movie with all the "mutants around us" taglines.
oh, who the heck's stick? Is he a silent, walk-on role?
