Joe Carnahan
Joseph Aaron Carnahan (born May 9, 1969) is an American film director, screenwriter, producer and occasional actor whose films include Blood, Guts, Bullets and Octane, Narc, Smokin' Aces, The A-Team, The Grey, and Boss Level. He also wrote and directed several episodes for the NBC television series The Blacklist.
Carnahan was born in Dover, Delaware and spent his childhood in Shepherd, Michigan. His parents moved to Fairfield, California when he was a teenager. Carnahan graduated from Fairfield High School in 1987. He attended college at San Francisco State University for one year, but later transferred to California State University, Sacramento, and earned his B.A. in Filmography there. Carnahan eventually became employed in the Promotional Department of Sacramento's KMAX-TV, producing short films and television spots.
Carnahan's film Blood, Guts, Bullets and Octane premiered in September 1997 at the Independent Feature Film Market, and later at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival.
He directed the 2002 Detroit-set thriller Narc, starring Ray Liotta and Jason Patric. Following Narc, he directed an entry in the BMW Films titled Ticker starring Clive Owen and Don Cheadle.
In 2004, Carnahan was solicited to direct Mission: Impossible III, produced by Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner, but he left the production due to conflicting views on the tone of the film with Cruise, saying "you’re dealing with… a big movie star whose involvement tends to shape creative outcomes". He was replaced by J. J. Abrams. It was also announced in October 2005 that Carnahan would be directing a film based on the life of convicted drug dealer Will Wright, but the project was abandoned.
His next film, Smokin' Aces, was released in 2007. He also co-wrote the screenplay of Pride and Glory.
He was attached to direct an adaptation of James Ellroy's novel White Jazz with George Clooney producing and starring, but Clooney later pulled out from the production and in 2009, Ellroy stated that all adaptations of the film were dead.
In 2007, Carnahan penned Remarkable Fellows for Universal with Jason Bateman set to star, but the film never went into production.
