Film career
He received some cult and critical acclaim for his film Blood, Guts, Bullets, and Octane, which premiered in September 1997 at the New York Independent Film Market and later at the 1998 Sundance Film Festival.
Ray Liotta and Jason Patric co-starred in Narc, the 2002 Detroit-set thriller. Following Narc, he produced Ticker, a BMW Films film starring Clive Owen and Don Cheadle. He was offered to direct Mission: Impossible III, directed by Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner (who also produced Narc), but he later left the film due to differing interpretations of the film. Carnahan also revealed in October 2005 that it would be producing a film based on Will Wright's life, but the initiative appears to be cancelled.
Smokin' Aces, his next film, was released in 2006 and released in January 2007. He co-wrote Pride and Glory, a film that was released in 2008 about a year behind schedule.
He was slated to direct an adaptation of James Ellroy's novel White Jazz, with George Clooney producing and starring, but Clooney later dropped out, and Ellroy announced that all adaptations of the film were dead.
Carnahan wrote Remarkable Fellows for Universal in 2007, with Jason Bateman as the lead, but the film never went into production.
Fox recruited Brian Bloom and Carnahan for the redevelopment of their long-running A-Team project, which was based on the hit '80's television series. He also showed an interest in film adaptations for Garth Ennis' graphic novel Preacher and David Michelinie's Taskmaster.
Liam Neeson appeared in the thriller The Grey in 2011.
During its first season, Carnahan was one of the executive producers for NBC's The Blacklist, starring James Spader and Megan Boone. He supervised the pilot and went on to co-write and direct the ninth episode, "Anslo Garrick." Carnahan also wrote the story for episode 16, "Mako Tanida."
He is currently writing the script for Mark Millar's film adaptation Nemesis, which he and his brother Matthew will be directing. Killing Pablo is also expected to be directed by Mark Bowden.
The NBC political thriller State of Affairs, starring Katherine Heigl and Alfre Woodard, debuted on November 17, 2014. He directed and co-wrote the pilot.
XYZ Films announced in February 2017 that Carnahan will produce and direct the remake of The Raid, starring Frank Grillo as a producer, with Evans as the producer.
