It was just revealed over the weekend that, coming off the success of his The Grey, Joe Carnahan will bring to the big screen a remake of the 1974 revenge classic, Death Wish. Rather than specifically remaking the film franchise that starred Charles Bronson, however, Carnahan is planning to go back to the 1972 Brian Garfield novel.
"Guys," he writes on his Twitter feed, "I'm doing 'Death Wish.' But this version is a re-imagining of the book and set in present day Los Angeles. The L.A. of 'Collateral.' It's on buses, cabs, metro trains. I want to show an unseen version of L.A. L.A. on foot. Prowling. Hunting. The vast emptiness of downtown."
Among the major differences between the original novel and the 1974 film are the name and profession of the lead character. In the book, he's an accountant named Paul Benjamin and, in the film, an architect named Paul Kersey.
Though it's likely too soon to begin speculating about the rest of the film's cast, Carnahan does confirm that he plans to again work with The Grey actor Frank Grillo on the project and that the character he's now writing will mark the first time he's written a part with a specific actor in mind.
"Nobody said anything about Frank playing the Kersey part," Carnahan is quick to note, "Relax folks. We have a plan."
Je sais"encore un remakkke",bah oué qui plus ai d'un"Justicier Dans La Ville".Mais bon c'est Carnahan qui s'en chargera(Narc,Mise A Prix,The A Team et bientot The Grey),bref moi je l'adore
Il pourrait prendre l'acteur Frank Grillo dans le rôle principaux.Est la vous me dites quichaaaaa.On a pue le voir très récemment dans"Warrior" il jouer l'entraineur de Brendan(très good dans ce film),ou dans un autre film de Gavin'O Connor"Le Prix de la loyauté",est lui aussi a l'affiche de"The Grey".Les fan de"Prison Break"se souvient peut être de lui(premiére saison ),je l'aime bien cette acteur.

Merci pour la news Vendest
Par contre, non justement Carnahan précise que si il retravaillerait avec Frank Grillo , il n'a jamais dit que ce serait pour le role principal
