    Stallone has a Death Wish

    Stallone Considers Death Wish
    Rambo eyeing up another revenge thriller.
    by Chris Tilly, IGN UK

    UK, November 5, 2007 - Sylvester Stallone suffered a critical and commercial failure with Get Carter, his last attempt at remaking a revenge thriller, but that doesn't look like it will stop him from dipping his toe in the genre again for a remake of Death Wish.

    According to Variety, MGM is currently in talks with Stallone to direct and star in a remake of Michael Winner's hugely influential 1974 flick, which starred Charles Bronson as an architect who turns violent vigilante when his wife is murdered by a gang of thugs.

    Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines scribes Michael Ferris and John Brancato have been hired to update the story, with MGM hoping that the film will be the first in a potential series.

    "We are looking at our library to determine which franchise properties make the most sense for us to produce, and Death Wish was clearly one that jumped out," explained MGM chief operating officer Rick Sands. "We hope to get a deal done with Sylvester Stallone to direct and star, and like the Rocky and Rambo films, we see this as another potential franchise for him."

    A start date will depend on the length of the current writers strike, although MGM are keen to get the film into production by March.

    Seems like Rocky and Rambo back on the screens ain't enough for Stallone, now he wants to be Charles Bronson's Paul Kersey. I don't mind a remake of "Death Wish", I'm just not sure about Stallone being the lead.

    I loved Rocky Balboa, and I'm really looking forward to Rambo, and even though I'm sure Death Wish w/ Stallone would be good, it's one of those things where...it's like Charles Bronson is Death Wish. But Charles Bronson's dead now. So this is not Death Wish.

    Yeah, I would see it too, ubt it's like just by presenting the idea, it's already gonna be a disappointment because people are gonna be expecting someone that'll do it just as well, if not better, than Bronson, and the only person I can imagine doing that is MAYBE Clint Eastwood.

    Stallone's bring back everyone's series.

    He'll also be writing and directing Police Academy 8, playing the black guy who makes all the sound FX.
