Joe Carnahan (Smokin' Aces, The A-Team, The Grey) has been tapped by MGM and Paramount to write and direct a remake of the classic Charles Bronson revenge film Death Wish.
"The original starred Bronson as Paul Kersey, a liberal architect who morphs into an assassin after his wife and daughter are brutally attacked. Bronson's character then undertakes a one-man mission to hurt and kill a host of criminals on the streets of New York. The movie was a cultural phenomenon of sorts, helping birth the modern action movie and also provoking criticism for its intense violence. "
Not much else is known about the project.

I grew up watching the films since my dad was really into Bronson, and I remember how crazy violent they were (to me as a child anyway). I'm not entirely opposed by a remake, especially with Carnahan behind it. I'll keep an open mind until a trailer is released (assuming it even gets that far into production).
