Blalock Confirms Elektra Tryout
Jolene Blalock, who plays T'Pol on UPN's Enterprise, confirmed for SCI FI Wire that she auditioned for the coveted role of Elektra in the upcoming Daredevil movie. Speaking to reporters at UPN's winter press tour in Pasadena, Calif., Blalock said she even dyed her long hair auburn for the audition. "I like to go all out for auditions," she said. "I rather enjoy auditions. And they asked to see me brown. So I went brown."
Blalock is one of several actresses reportedly up for the role, including Alias star Jennifer Garner, whom Variety reported was in talks for the part and near a deal. But as of Jan. 14, Blalock had not heard if a decision has been made. "I don't know yet," she said. "Hopefully we'll find out this week." But the actress is philosophical about the process. "I loved being in that room," she said. "It's all about meeting those people, getting into that room, because, you know what? You're going to run into them again. So, it doesn't mean I'm going to get the job. God, I hope, you know? But who knows? I can't hold too tightly. But I love auditioning. I love walking into that room and reading for those people and leaving something good and feeling good leaving that room."

Yeah its on Trektoday.com too. I have reservations about Ben Afleck as Daredevil. I mean Ben Afleck? Ok maybe it will be ok. But the one I can't wait for Incredible Hulk directed by Ang Lee. Looks like that could be a good one.

Jolene got some serious competition, though. Jennifer Garner from ABC's Alias is also in the running for the Elektra role. Although Jolene is athletic (she's a surfer girl, literally) I don't recall seeing her doing some serious martial arts stunts in any TV or film (correct me if I'm wrong).
Jennifer however, does most of fighting choreagraphy on Alias.
