Daredevil going to Marvel, Director Joe Carnahan Pitch

It's been a long last week with Daredevil being the center of attention for 20th Century Fox and Marvel Studios. Like I posted last week with the Marvel Swap and earlier with Daredevil being dead. Now, its basically official that Daredevil is going home to Marvel! or at least Variety says so.

Reports say that the extension on the deadline for the film by 20th Century Fox was rejected. So with no time to get the film set up after they turned down the pitch by Joe Carnahan. 

Joe Carnahan did release some trailers he put together and had shown them to studio executives on monday. They include the PG-13 and NC-17 trailers with little difference, but a very cool idea of it being in the 70's. The trailer just puts scenes from movies and comics together to give a feel for what it would be like. Not bad if I do say so. 

Here are the pitch videos that Joe said went over great with everyone but just wasn't the right time. I say give the same pitch to Marvel in 2 months while wearing a Marvel/ Howard Duck shirt to show your a true fan. They will love it. 

Daredevil Reboot is Dead Now?

Okay Okay last week I did an article about the swap between Marvel and 20th Century Fox that might happen. Well..that whole story is possibly dead just from one tweet from potential Daredevil director Joe Carnahan.

There has been reports that Fox was "luke warm" about the deal and maybe wanted to work it out, if Marvel wanted to co-finance the reboot. I think those plans all went south.

Joe Carnahan tweeted last night "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." 

Time is ticking away 20th Century Fox only 2 months until October 10th. My guess is Daredevil will finally be heading home to Marvel. This has had a surge of acceptance from fans, but I think the blind lawyer has better chance at a studio not owned by Disney. I don't want a kiddie Daredevil movie at all or in The Avengers line-up for that matter. We will wait and see what 20th Century Fox does soon enough.
