ALIAS' STAR CAN'T HIDE HEARTACHE

By MICHAEL STARR

The strain shows as Jennifer Garner and hubby Scott Foley leave a gym in Brentwood, Ca., and head for separate cars last month. US Weekly now reports the couple has split.

April 2, 2003 -- 'ALIAS" star Jennifer Garner and her actor husband, Scott Foley, are having their own private cold war.
US Weekly reports that Garner and Foley, both 30, are putting their 21/2-year marriage on ice.
"They're going to separate and announce the split very soon," an insider tells the magazine.
Suspicions of trouble in their marriage began to surface last month when Garner showed up at the Oscars with a female friend.
She told reporters asking about Foley that she wasn't with her husband because it was a "girls' weekend" - a statement that now appears to have been a convenient excuse.
According to US Weekly, Foley watched the Oscars at home - alone with his dog.
The break-up puts Garner, one of the most sought-after stars in Hollywood right now, back on the dating circuit.
Garner's critically acclaimed ABC series has generated reams of good press. But her meteoric success has apparently also caused problems in her marriage.
It hasn't helped that Foley's new NBC midseason sitcom, "A.U.S.A.," has been a ratings disappointment. Foley shot to fame as Noel, Felicity's (Keri Russell) on-again, off-again boyfriend, on "Felicity."
A source connected to Foley's new show tells the magazine that "jealousy issues" seem to be playing a part in the couple's marital woes.
Garner and Foley were married on Oct. 19, 2000 after meeting on the set of "Felicity," where Garner played Noel's ex-girlfriend, Hannah.
A representative for Garner and Foley could not be reached.

Here's the scoop...

Garner Becomes Elektra! Batman Smackdown! "Things" Hit the Screen!

EDITOR'S NOTE: Welcome to 'Nuff Said, a new column bringing you fresh news on the ever-growing army of comic-book heroes going Hollywood. Look for it every other week at E! Online.

Elektra Company: The news broke as early as October that Jennifer Garner had signed up to spin her Daredevil character, Elektra Natchios, into her own franchise. Writer-director Mark Steven Johnson had agreed to take it on, too, possibly before a Daredevil sequel, if there is one.

And why not? Elektra's a sexy, hard-boiled, ninja-trained killing machine--and you're going to tell her she can't have her own movie? We didn't think so.

Elektra's plot will likely spring from the classic comic storylines, in which she works for New York crime lords, icing people for money. "That'd be fun," Garner told reporters this week. "As long as Shauna [Duggins, her stunt double for both Daredevil and Alias] is up for it, I'm up for it!"

Marvel Studios honcho Avi Arad added that Garner--and an army of other actresses--fought for the part in Daredevil, smelling the potential. "She knew, her management knew and every woman around the world knew this is the role," Arad told us. "Elektra is going to be a franchise all by itself."

Garner's busy with Alias and will soon shoot the romantic comedy 13 Going on 30, so chances are Elektra won't go into production until summer 2004.

Plans for a sequel for Daredevil and a spin-off movie for Elektra continue forward after Daredevil topped the box office last weekend, producer Gary Foster told The Continuum.

DAREDEVIL MOVIE TOPS BOX OFFICE .

Plans for a sequel for Daredevil and a spin-off movie for Elektra continue forward after Daredevil topped the box office last weekend, producer Gary Foster told The Continuum.
"We're very happy with things," Foster told The Continuum on Monday morning. "DD2 moves ahead, as does Elektra. Too early to know what goes first, but we are certainly going to get scripts going. All the cast, except Colin (Farrell, who played Bullseye), are signed up for sequel."
Daredevil easily was the No. 1 film at the box office in its opening weekend, drawing an estimated $43.5 million.
Official numbers will be released on Tuesday following the President's Day holiday.
Daredevil's opening was the second biggest in February, trailing only Hannibal $55.0 million in 2001. The $43.5 million was slightly better than the projections of movie analysts.
DD also marked the fifth consecutive Marvel movie to open at the top spot, following Blade's $17.0 million in August 1998, X-Men's $54.5 in July 2000, Blade II's $32.5 million in March 2002 and Spider-Man's $114.8 million in May 2002.
Daredevil, distributed by 20th Century Fox, opened in 3,471 theaters.

In real life, tough-girl actress plays nice

STARS LINE UP FOR OSCARS

Producer Gil Cates said Monday that Jennifer Garner will make her first Oscars telecast appearance as a presenter on the 75th Anniversary Academy Awards show.

Garner -- a Golden Globe-winner for best actress in a drama series for "Alias" -- co-stars with Ben Affleck in the box-office hit "Daredevil." Her other screen credits includes "Pearl Harbor," "Dude Where's My Car?" and "Deconstructing Harry."

The Oscars will be presented on March 23 at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.

The film is much darker than I expected, and I commend the filmmakers for that. The best Daredevil stories are dark. Ben Affleck, although he puts on a bit of a Batman voice does a good job as Matt Murdock, blind attorney, who swings from the roof tops in Hells Kitchen.
Jennifer Garner is fantastic as Elektra. And Frank Miller must be fine with it all because he makes a cameo appearance. Sure shes not as Greek as some people would have preferred, but I honestly cannot think of any other big name actress working today that has the fighting skills of Jennifer Garner.

Elektra Company: The news broke as early as October that Jennifer Garner had signed up to spin her Daredevil character, Elektra Natchios, into her own franchise. Writer-director Mark Steven Johnson had agreed to take it on, too, possibly before a Daredevil sequel, if there is one.

On the other hand, the supporting characters are so strong that Daredevil almost feels like a guest star in his own movie (a problem that marred the "Batman" films). Then again, when you have "Alias" hottie Jennifer Garner strutting her stuff in tight black leather as Affleck's love interest, what do you expect?
