Quote:
Russell Crowe is on a quest for vengeance as The Equalizer.

Crowe will take on the role of Robert McCall, originally played by English thesp Edward Woodward in the hit 80s TV show. McCall is a former government spook who spends his time atoning for his past sins by doling out justice, free of charge, on the mean streets of New York.

The original series prided itself on its realism so Crowe is likely to be seen duffing up some unsavoury sorts for our viewing pleasure. We particularly hope that he keeps his trademark weapon, the aptly named 'ballistic knife', with a shooting blade.

Despite the recent lacklustre reception of fellow 80s telly remake The A-Team and middling interest Crowe's Robin Hood, the project is said to be drawing a lot of interest from studios.


Oh yes :D , so long as he won't be attempting an English accent... :oops:

I absolutely loved this show, and a lot of it is still edgy by today's standards :)

Sounds like a good reason not to watch it.

For some reason Crowe irritates me, perhaps it's his arrogance.

See, I've no problem with that sort of thing when the person is just doing their job (I don't care what they get up to elsewhere), see Bono, Oasis, Elton John... :lol:
