Looks like the movie has sadly fallen through. All we're left with is this glimpse at what might have been.

And also, the hope that Marvel might find better use for the character.

I really REALLY want Marvel to vulture Carnahan and get a movie going, his sizzle reels made me feel things in my nether regions that I haven't felt since reading Miller's run the last time I did.

that was amazing i doubt marvel will produce a DD movie anytime soon tho they are more into their avengers/intergalactic phase atm with guardians,thanos,avengers 2,etc.

not to mention they have

thor 2
cap 2
im 3
ant man

all in production

DD does'nt fit into the avengers what is he gonna do hit loki with his batons lol

you do realize DD is an avenger right now, correct?

"I was brought in pretty late in the game, and my take probably didn’t help matters since they had an existing script. But I just thought that if you were going to do it, this was the way to go. This is the way that intrigued me...It was initially something I passed on because Christopher Nolan had done such a lovely job with Batman and unless you’re going to go after that trilogy, then that’s how you have to think. You can’t out-hurdle that, then what’s the point of trying? So it set the bar extraordinarily high, and I thought ‘Well, if we’re going to do this, let’s have a discussion about Hell’s Kitchen, and how it was really Hell’s Kitchen in the 70s,” so that got me really excited. But as I mentioned, the clock ticking and this kind of October drop-dead date, it wasn’t tenable. And having gone down this road in the past when you’re trying to write something and shoot it at the same time is disastrous, and I think you’d need an adequate amount of time to put that script together in the right way. My brother [Matthew Michael Carnahan (The Kingdom)] was interested in writing it with me, so we’ll see."

"As I’m finishing my kind of reimagining of Death Wish, I think the 70s is figuring into my conscious and subconscious mind right now. I think it was the last time music and movies were just tremendous. We just cranked out some great stuff. I think that’s why the sizzle reel is able to be kind of abstract because people have such great fondness in their hearts for that decade, particularly the early part of that decade. I’m excited; you know the idea of having Daredevil on top of a building somewhere with the Serpico marquee in the background was enough, that image was enough, for me to want to make the movie.

And that's why comic book avengers now suck, anyone who's making enough money for Marvel gets a spot on the team, there's no true sense of achievement or merit to them anymore.

Actually he was an Avenger before Waid started the book, if I recall, it's more because Bendis really likes Daredevil and wrote a well received run on the character, so Bendis probably made the call... not the execs.
