Joe Carnahan Reflects on His Unmade DAREDEVIL Trilogy Set Across the 1970s and '80s — GeekTyrant
Back in 2012, director Joe Carnahan was circling a bold and brutal Daredevil film that was just months from becoming a reality, until it wasn't. As the clock ticked down on 20th Century Fox's rights to the character, the studio scrambled to keep Matt Murdock in their corner. Carnahan was hot off The Grey and The A-Team, and was their Hail Mary. But, then time ran out, and Marvel got the rights back, and Carnahan's vision faded away. Now, more than a decade later, Carnahan is opening up about the project, which would've given us a version of Daredevil unlike anything Marvel has delivered. Carnahan told CBR: 'You know what's funny? My Daredevil was a trifecta, and it was Daredevil '73 which was classic rock, Daredevil '79, which was punk rock, [and] Daredevil '85, which was new wave. That was, those are my movies, right?' Carnahan was building a Daredevil trilogy that pulsed with the heartbeat of Hell's Kitchen, each entry soaked in the music, grit, and unrest of a changing New York. Visually and thematically, it was shaping up to be Taxi Driver by way of Frank Miller. Fox, of course, was desperate to keep Daredevil. Marvel Studios, already plotting its massive Infinity Saga, offered a trade, Matt Murdock for Galactus and the Silver Surfer. Fox declined. Instead, they gambled on a last-minute Carnahan project. But development stalled, and Marvel got their Devil back. Carnahan, when asked whether he's watched Netflix's Daredevil or the upcoming Daredevil: Born Again, admitted, 'It's hard for me to get into that. I think I got my heart broken by not being able to do it. And I know Charlie Cox is great. My buddy Dario Scardiopane runs the show. I love [Jon] Bernthal to death. I should have better reasons for not having seen it, but I don't.' It's clear Carnahan has a complicated relationship with the genre. He added: 'The A-Team was as close as I ever came to, like a guy with a cape, you know? And then, I mean, the El Chicano that just died a horrible death, but it was a really cool, kind of, like, a Latino Punisher kind of a thing.' He continued: 'I enjoy the execution of those, like a fan, sitting in a theater watching them. But, is there stuff [I would work on in the genre]? Like Daredevil, but Daredevil is a blind guy that has this extra sensory thing. 'I'm interested in that, the kind of the street level [characters], you know, guys that aren't really blessed with anything other than this—something has been they've been deprived of something. So they have this extra sensory skill.' Carnahan's Daredevil would've been grounded, bloody, and drenched in style, a street-level character study and the concept seems like it would've been awesome. But, I guess the way everything played out was meant to be, and new Marvel Studios owns it all, and they are running with it. Would you have wanted to see Carnahan's 1970s-set Daredevil?

Charlie Cox Teases DAREDEVIL: BORN AGAIN Season 2, Saying It Has 'Some of the Best Writing' Yet — GeekTyrant
If you've been excited about the return of Daredevil: Born Again with Season 2 and what it will bring, Charlie Cox is teasing what's coming and hyping it up to the extreme, but he's trying very hard not to jinx it. 'I don't want to oversell it,' Cox told The Playlist, already knowing he might be doing just that. 'I do happen to think it's some of the best writing we've ever had on this show.' Cox isn't just hyping for the sake of press. He recently texted showrunner Dario Scardapane, who took over after Marvel hit the reset button mid-production, and gave him a personal nod of approval. It reads: 'Obviously we're still halfway through shooting it, but huge, huge credit to what you've pieced together here.' The original plan for Born Again was quite different. It started out as an 18-episode legal procedural, with Matt Murdock spending more time in court than in costume. A few episodes were even shot before Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige stepped in, scrapped the initial approach, and rebuilt the series into something closer to what fans loved. The result is two tighter, nine-episode seasons that will be packed more grit and ensemble depth. Scardapane, who returns to steer Season 2, is expanding the world around Matt. 'He's fleshed out characters that in the previous iteration of the show often get left behind,' Cox said. 'So, it feels much more like an ensemble than it's ever felt.' There's a good chance that Season 2 of the series will be even better than Season 1. Cox may not want to 'oversell it,' but his comments are sure to get fans excited about what's in store.
