Extended Trailer For #TheEqualizer

Sony Pictures has released an even longer trailer (about 40 seconds longer, which is a lot for a trailer) for its upcoming adaptation of the TV series, " The Equalizer ," starring Denzel Washington , which will be released on September 26, 2014. We've been pining for awhile about the upcoming reboot of the CBS spy drama The Equalizer. This 1980's series starred Edward Woodward as retired CIA operative Robert McCall who helps people in need in New York City. And while shows like Person of Interest have upped the stakes, it was The Equalizer that first set the bat. Now, we finally have a trailer from Director Antoine Fuqua's film, which stars Denzel Washington and Chloe Grace-Moretz. Based on the very good early test screenings, we think the Euro-style action and character exposition look pretty bad ass.

Lone Survivor Producers Face Fallout As Drug Trafficking Report Surfaces. Hollywood Couldn't Make Up This Story

An LA Weekly cover story detailing cocaine-dealing allegations and prison time done by financiers Remington Chase and Stepan Martirosyan has Hollywood distancing itself from the pair. In the wake of revelations of a criminal past, film financiers Remington Chase and Stepan Martirosyan have gone from indie darlings to radioactive. The U.S.-born Chase and Armenian Martirosyan, who financed 2013's Denzel Washington - Mark Wahlberg starrer 2 Guns and Wahlberg's Lone Survivor , are scrambling following a Jan. 2 LA Weekly report detailing cocaine trafficking convictions, prison time and stints as federal informants (both have gone by other aliases in the past). The pair have hired high-profile crisis lawyer Howard Weitzman, who is no stranger to controversy with a clientele that includes O.J. Simpson, Justin Bieber, the Kardashians and the Michael Jackson estate. Universal, which distributed both films, declined comment, but producers Randall Emmett and George Furla ,

2 Guns Review

2 Guns Review By: MattInRC 2 Guns's shallow character development and flashbang action doom it to a rainy day matinee. I love me some double cross in film. Look back into history and you'll see Payback, Jackie Brown, and even Iron Man with elements of the double cross. While the buddy-copy 2 Guns is a punchy action film ripped from a comic book, the film also channels about every action subgenre imaginable, and is full of wise-crackin' mirth-filled moments, sexual advances, and enough cussing and the aforementioned double-cross to fill a tip jar. Unfortunately, it's not very inventive and actually overdoes the double-cross by adding a third- and even fourth layer to muck things up. Bobby ( Denzel Washington ) and Stig ( Mark Wahlberg ) are criminals for hire, except that they're not really criminals. Stig is an undercover Navy officer, while Bobby is an undercover DEA agent, neither of whom knows each other's true identity. Circumstances

2 Guns Blu-ray Review.It's Entertaining, But Nowhere Near Unique

2 Guns Blu-ray Review By: MattInRC Universal's home release of 2 Guns looks and sounds great, but will its shallow character development and flashbang action doom it to the bargain Blu-ray bin? I love me some double cross in film. Look back into history and you'll see Payback, Jackie Brown , and even Iron Man with elements of the double cross. While the buddy-copy 2 Guns is a punchy action film ripped from a comic book, the film also channels about every action subgenre imaginable, and is full of wise-crackin' mirth-filled moments, sexual advances, and enough cussing and the aforementioned double-cross to fill a tip jar. Unfortunately, it's not very inventive and actually overdoes the double-cross by adding a third- and even fourth layer to muck things up. Its arrival onto home video gives us a chance to break down a film with enormous potential, but one which ultimately is just merely watchable. The Movie - 3.5/5 Bobby ( Denzel Washington ) and S

Bad Boys 3 Has Found It's Screenwriter

The mantra behind Sony Pictures’ recent restructure that brings in Michael De Luca as production co-president was to make higher quality tent poles. That means spending money on hot writers. I’m told the studio is in early talks with David Guggenheim to script Bad Boys 3 , which the studio hopes will bring back Will Smith and Martin Lawrence as fast-talking undercover cops who solve crimes with spectacular action, gunplay, and harsh language. Guggenheim scripted Safe House , the Denzel Washington-Ryan Reynolds action thriller. Bad Boys II was released a decade ago, and the sequel grossed $273 million on a $160 million budget. Michael Bay directed the first two, but he doesn’t seem to be involved, at least at this point. Jerry Bruckheimer is producing the pic. Sony is trying to do this with the original cast, which makes it different from the other big franchise reboots in the works, Men In Black and Ghostbusters. Those are being rebooted. With Ghostbusters, that has a lot to do w

Is Denzel Washington Most Bankable Hollywood Star?

Denzel does have a habit of delivering more than $20 million in box office receipts whenever one of his movies opens. The latest release, " 2 Guns ", is no exception, having logged $27.4 million this past weekend. That's certainly not as stellar as, say, " Safe House " ($40.2 million) or "T he Book of Eli " ($32.8 million) but it's better than " The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 " ($23.4 million). Even the Oscar-bait movie " Flight " has made money, and that's saying something for a movie where all the action comes in the first 15 minutes. In historical context, it's clear that " 2 Guns " didn’t, um, blow the box office away, but Washington still seems to be having a better summer than many. (Right, Ryan Reynolds ?) Sure, Johnny Depp's " Lone Ranger " brought in roughly the same amount in its opening weekend earlier this season — but that flick was a $250 million production. As opposed to, you know, &

2 Guns Shoots Down Competition

Worldwide, the box office belonged to the small, blue types called Smurfs, but American audiences seemed more inclined to watch Mark Wahlberg and Denzel Washington shoot a lot. Action thriller 2 Guns took the top spot across the pond, earning $27.3 million. It displaced The Wolverine , which fell to second and made $21.7 million. The Smurfs sequel still had an impact in the states, though, taking in $18.2 million. The Conjuring continued to do well, adding $13.6 million in fourth for a current US total of $108.5 million. Rounding out the top five was Despicable Me 2 with $10.3 million. Grown Ups 2 fell one place to sixth, making $8.1 million, while snail ‘toon Turbo dropped from fourth to seventh, taking in $6.4 million. Red 2 was eighth with $5.6 million, while The Heat was ninth with $4.7 million. Finally, Pacific Rim was 10th, earning $4.7 million, for a running total of $92.9 million in the States - which suggests it might yet squeak past the $100m mark and regain i

New 2 GUNS Trailer And Poster

We got our hands on the official trailer for 2 GUNS starring Denzel Washington, Mark Wahlberg, Paula Patton, Bill Paxton and Edward James Olmos . Academy Award® winner Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg lead an all-star cast in 2 GUNS , an explosive action film that tracks two operatives from competing bureaus who are forced on the run together. But there is a big problem with their unique alliance: Neither knows that the other is an undercover federal agent. For the past 12 months, DEA agent Bobby Trench ( Washington ) and U.S. naval intelligence officer Marcus Stigman ( Wahlberg ) have been reluctantly attached at the hip. Working undercover as members of a narcotics syndicate, each man distrusts his partner as much as the criminals they have both been tasked to take down. When their attempt to infiltrate a Mexican drug cartel and recover millions goes haywire, Trench and Stigman are suddenly disavowed by their superiors. Now that everyone wants them in jail or in the

Nicolas Winding Refn To Direct The Equalizer

The " Drive " helmer beats out a number of contenders for the Sony thriller based on the 1980s TV series. Nicolas Winding Refn is in early talks to helm Sony's big-screen remake of 1980s TV series The Equalizer . The project, scheduled to go into production in late spring, will star Denzel Washington as Robert McCall, a veteran covert operative who, seeking redemption for his dark deeds, quits a CIA-like agency and puts a classified advertisement in the paper that reads simply: "Got a problem? Odds against you? Call the Equalizer." Richard Wenk (The Expendables 2) penned the screenplay. Refn became a hot commodity following his breakout Drive , for which he won top directing honors at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. For the Equalizer gig, the New York-born Denmark-reared helmer beat out a number of contenders. Sony began meeting with directors back in August but took its time before making an offer to Refn.
