\u00a0So it set the bar extraordinarily high, and I thought \u2018Well, if we\u2019re going to do this, let\u2019s have a discussion about Hell\u2019s Kitchen, and how it was really Hell\u2019s Kitchen in the Seventies,&#8217; so that got me really excited.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But as I mentioned, the clock ticking and this kind of October drop-dead date, it wasn\u2019t tenable. \u00a0And having gone down this road in the past when you\u2019re trying to write something and shoot it at the same time is disastrous, and I think you\u2019d need an adequate amount of time to put that script together in the right way. \u00a0My brother [<em>The Kingdom<\/em>&#8216;s\u00a0Matthew Michael Carnahan] was interested in writing it with me, so we\u2019ll see.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Check out Joe Carnahan&#8217;s &#8216;sizzle reel&#8217; samples for his Daredevil reboot\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/news\/see-joe-carnahans-daredevil-pitch-videos\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A-Team director Joe Carnahan on what happened to his Daredevil reboot and why set it in the 70s<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":36,"featured_media":27471,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"MSN_Categories":"Uncategorized","MSN_Publish_Option":false,"MSN_Is_Local_News":false,"MSN_Is_AIAC_Included":"Empty","MSN_Location":"[]","MSN_Add_Feature_Img_On_Top_Of_Post":false,"MSN_Has_Custom_Author":false,"MSN_Custom_Author":"","MSN_Has_Custom_Canonical_Url":false,"MSN_Custom_Canonical_Url":""},"categories":[2615,3],"tags":[103,1824],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Daredevil2.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27464"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/36"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=27464"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/27464\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27471"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=27464"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=27464"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.scifinow.co.uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=27464"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
