According to the quesitonable www.aintitcoolnews.com, Jennifer Garner, star of Alias, has landed the part of assassin Elektra. Herer's the article AICN posted up: (take it with a grain of salt)

Hey folks, Harry here... This past Friday the word got out
that Avi Arad went on E! and announced that they had cast
the part of ELEKTRA in DAREDEVIL. He didn't mention the
name. Well not on TV, but I was sure that he talked to
people around him, people all over the place. People who
would have business with him. Avi's a pretty tight-lipped
guy, but this is a role he's been excited about casting right.
Avi knows good and well that he can put this character in
her own series if she connects with viewers. Like happened
in the book.

Sure enough, as I was making my rounds contacting
everyone on my 'Avi Arad contact type' list, I got a phone
call from a contact I didn't know could know this, but who
has been very reliable in the past. Well, she named
JENNIFER GARNER from TV's ALIAS as having nailed down
the part.

I don't watch much, if any TV, not because I hate it, but
because I don't need another addiction. Film occupies the
chamber behind my needle, but Robogeek knew this gal
right off. In fact in the Robogeek film of joint exercise
manuals he had pics of the lovely Jennifer Garner, he
suggested the leather big one... I found the others.

Asking about, this seems to be a pretty solid choice. Robo
felt this was the best choice of the 'names' he and his
contacts all over the land of the meet and greets... Now
some other sites have called around and they've been told
that Avi Arad jumped the gun in claiming the role was filled,
but apparently from what I've heard they've decided on
Jennifer Garner, they've agreed on a deal, it's just a
technicality at this point. A technicality that will be ironed
out quickly. Or so I've been told. She looks damn good,
hope they hire a great voice and accent coach.

Any comments on this potential truth. I still won't believe it until I get the offcial announcement, and AICN is iffy with "breaking" news...but if it's true it might be promising.

Don't worry about it. I snickered at this, too. I just put it up becuase I thought it was semi-interesting. Harry has a rep for putting up...less than reliable news. Heck - I can barely think of anything "exclusive" news he's put up that was actually true! No problem pencilsharp - let me share your laughter:

Ha! Ha! Ha!
