In order for 20th Century Fox to keep the Daredevil franchise, the studio needs to be in production by October 10, 2012. Joe Carnahan had a gritty take on the character set in the ’70s, but the studio turned the idea down.
Now on the internet are two sizzle reels that were used to give the studios a feel for what he was aiming for.
A couple of weeks ago, we told you that 20th Century Fox was running the risk of losing the Daredevil property due to the director ditching the movie at the last minute. There’s a new twist in the tale, that may have Marvel giving Daredevil a pass in order to get bigger characters.
