Joe Carnahan's unmade 'Daredevil' movie

>Before Marvel and Netflix took the reins of the Man Without Fear, he was still a property of 20th Century Fox. After the 2003 Ben Affleck film received neither the critical nor box office success they were hoping for, Joe Carnahan stepped in to attempt a different take on the character.

>Mixing in footage from the Affleck movie, Frank Miller comic book pages, and what looks like ’70s film footage, Carnahan created a sizzle reel that gave our hero a dark and gritty feel, just the like movies of that time period. Had his version been greenlit, it would have been a trilogy of films taking place in the ’70s and early 80s, with each film serving as a commentary on the time period. The movies would also have gone for a hard R-rating, so the grittiness of the film wouldn’t seem disingenuous. However, the movie was not approved in time and Marvel won the rights to the character back, bringing us the TV show we have today.

Wouldn't have even been better than the Affleck movie.

It would have been over-stylized and would probably only emulate the vague appearance of a 70s/80s gritty action movie while still being directed and shot like a modern action movie (think Terminator Genysis). I don't think Carnahan would be able to competently do anything outside of his balls to the wall nonsense action comfort zone.
