Outlook Turns Gloomy For Carnahan's Daredevil
A testament to the speed by which deals are made, or undone, in Hollywood, it looks like we have an update on the recently proposed Daredevil reboot. If you recall, last week it was reported that Joe Carnahan ('The Grey') was in talks with Fox to direct their relaunch of the blind Marvel superhero Daredevil. His concept was that he was going to blend Frank Miller's iteration of the character with a 1970s era police drama. Sounds too good to be true, right? In fact that maybe exactly what it was. Carnahan revealed the not-so-cheery status on the project via his Twitter account...
"Think my idea for a certain retro, red-suited, Serpico-styled superhero went up in smoke today kids. We shall see. Time is NOT on anyone's side."
You know, you allow yourself to get excited, to hope, and then you're hit smack in the face with that old maxim about not counting chickens before they hatch. I am curious to know what it is that caused the dissolution of the deal. It's obvious that he was in fact in talks with the studio or there would have been no cause to tweet such cryptic, but unmistakeable, sentiments. What impresses me about Carnahan is how he can handle films of various tones and weights. Sure, he proved he could handle off-the-wall, silly action fare with 'The A-Team,' but he then showed he had the chops to carry a more bleak, dramatic, human thriller with 'The Grey.' The new Daredevil has to be a dark, weighty character exploration, but also feature enough comic book action to appease fans and drive audiences to the theaters. There's no doubt in my mind that Carnahan is the right man for the job, and I am holding on to the fleeting possibility that the stars will still align on this and he will be the guy to reinvigorate Matt Murdock.
What do you guys think? Anyone holding out hope for Carnahan? If not, who would be your pick for director?

The concept stuff from carnahan got me excited. I could really have seen daredevil working in a seventies action film.

I think because of the tragedy surrounding TDKR Aurora shooting, making another really dark, gritty and depressing superhero might not be in the studio's interest.

Well... I'm definitely sorry to hear this, but I can't really say I'm surprised.

Saw what he presented them. It looked great, and the 70's setting would have been a really good match for Daredevil. Hopefully Marvel will follow through with his idea, but knowing that they most likely won't just makes me sad. It's time that both Daredevil and the Punisher got new movies, but I don't think Marvel would be willing to make such gritty movies. I don't know, what do you guys think?

One man's gloomy is another man's glorious.
I want to see DD and the FF both at Marvel Studios within my lifetime.

My hope will still stand tall for Carnahan.
