Need A Lyft? Check Out The New Trailer For THE EQUALIZER 2!

Well, I know what I’m doing on July 20, and it’s got plenty to do with Antoine Fuqua’s The Equalizer 2 which arrives on July 20. I’ve payed less attention to the sports-tethered promos that have went live and mainly because I don’t really watch sports, but it’s good to see Sony buckling down on the hype again. The first trailer has already sold me and so while that hasn’t changed, I only fear that I’ve spoiled myself some. Ugh. Denzel Washington returns to one of his signature roles in the first sequel of his career. Robert McCall serves an unflinching justice for the exploited and oppressed – but how far will he go when that is someone he loves? Check out the new trailer!

Start The Clock! The Official EQUALIZER 2 Trailer Is Here!

I’ve been busy in a cave somewhere the last 24 hours doing some editing for an interview which will go live soon. Going forward however, it actually has nothing to do with the latest arrival of the official trailer for Antoine Fuqua’s hugely anticipated sequel, The Equalizer 2, but I’m all for it all the same by the time it opens on July 20 from Sony. Denzel Washington is back in the role that originally inspired the classic CBS TV series of the same name as the monastic, stoic badass, clock-startin’, bone-breakin, people-stabbing-and-stomping do-gooder that all of us cheered for in 2014. Denzel Washington returns to one of his signature roles in the first sequel of his career. Robert McCall serves an unflinching justice for the exploited and oppressed – but how far will he go when that is someone he loves? Richard Wenk penned the script once more on […]

FIVE-A-DAY ROUND-UP XVI The Equalizer 2, Acts Of Violence, Den Of Thieves, Mandy, Alita Battle Angel

Antoine Fuqua’s The Equalizer was an explosive hit in 2015, readapting the classic TV show centered on a monastic former government operative who sets the wrong things right. Thus, Fuqua and star Denzel Washington are back at it once more in The Equalizer 2 with Pedro Pascal also thrown in the mix and with a release date set for August 3. Columbia Pictures I was going to include Eli Roth’s Death Wish remake, but I gave it some thought and decided a film of that kind still needed further analysis. That said, I’m leaving it to Brett Donowho for his sixth feature film, Acts Of Violence, which promises something a little more promising in both story and substance with Bruce Willis in the role of an uncorruptable cop who finds himself conflicted as three brothers take matters in their own hands to rescue the younger brother’s fiancée. Joining Willis are […]

Pedro Pascal Is Up To Join THE EQUALIZER 2

It’s funny. I haven’t had a lot of incentive to get into such a variety of streaming TV programs what with all the amime I’m already taking in. However, being already familiar with the work of actor Pedro Pascal and reading of his latest attachment to The Equalizer 2 for Sony Pictures and Escape Artists, I’m actually inclined now to check out Netflix’s Wagner Moura-led crime series, Narcos when I get around to it. But…yeah. Pascal is in talks now for a starring role opposite returning actor Denzel Washington whose 2014 presentation under helmer Antoine Fuqua not only generated box office promise, but garnered the celebrated actor his first-ever sequel. Due on September 14, 2018, Fuqua, as reported last September, is returning to direct the sequel further adapting its classic television show predecessor of the same name, centered on a former black ops agent who sets out to make the […]

Fuqua Will Return To Direct THE EQUALIZER 2 Starting Next September

Lee B. Golden III

This weekend begins the theatrical run of Antoine Fuqua’s latest endeavor, The Magnificent Seven, reinterpreting John Sturges’s own 1960 remake classic inspired by Kurosawa Akira’s earlier epic, Seven Samurai. The film has been on the campaign trail following a string of trailers and promos leading up to its premiere at TIFF earlier this month, and with select cast and crew on deck for the publicity tour as of late, fans and onlookers are getting a little more first-hand insight on the film, which headlines an ensemble cast led by actor Denzel Washington. The film reunites the actor/director duo following their stellar 2001 crime drama, Training Day, and their 2014 reunion, The Equalizer, inspired by the popular 1985 television series of the same name. Joining Washington with actress Chloë Grace-Moretz and actor Martin Csokas, Richard Wenk wrote the script which centered our lead actor in the title role – a former […]

THE EQUALIZER 2 Gets A 2017 Release Date!

Lee B. Golden III

Hopefully all of the glowing reviews published online (including mine) and the overall box-office success of Antoine Fuqua’s 2014 hit, The Equalizer, garnered enough reason for you to at least see it on disc or VOD by now. It’s one of the best action films in recent memory next to John Wick and led by Denzel Washington, a stellar actor with just the right amount of gravitas to give the main character the cinematic boost it needed on the big screen as it did then on television starring Edward Woodward. Surely enough the film finally greenlit the sequel back in April, which probably wasn’t much of a surprise for those who were able to attend test screenings for the film, and with delightful results to boot. Alas, various media sites including Collider are now reporting an official release date set for September 29, 2017. There’s no word yet on who […]
