Slade Talks About His Take On "Daredevil"

Before 20th Century Fox had lost the film rights to the Daredevil Movies, and before Joe Carnahan delivered his pitch, filmmaker David Slade was attached to an "Untitled Reboot" of Marvel 's vision impaired  superhero.

Slade had to drop out due to his commitments to the "Hannibal" TV series.

Chatting with Film School Rejects, Slade says his version would have been "really complex and exciting. It was complicated and the most unimaginable Fox way possible. I was really, really excited about."

Slade's version would have been set the 1970s and have Kingpin going through New York dealing with the Irish mafia. Also, our hero would have worn the yellow suit.

He has also seen Carnahan's video pitch - "It's funny. I remember Joe Carnahan went after it hard when the rights were about to go. He cut together that thing that was great and exciting, but it was kind of sad, in a way, because everything in that trailer we had attempted to do [laughs]. Every single thing".
