Eli Roth’s ‘Death Wish’ Remake Coming This Thanksgiving
While that headline may leave you salivating for the feature length version of Eli Roth’s faux Thanksgiving trailer, we regret to inform you that we have no real update on that one. At this point, we’re thinking it’s probably never going to happen. But what’s actually coming next from Roth? A remake of Death Wish… starring Bruce Willis!
Variety reports today that MGM’s Death Wish, written by Roth, Dean Georgaris and Joe Carnahan, will be released on November 22 by Annapurna Pictures.
The original 1974 film was based on the Brian Garfield novel about vigilante Paul Kersey, who goes after criminals when his wife is murdered and his daughter is left catatonic after being sexually assaulted during a home invasion. Naturally, Roth’s remake has much the same plot.
Vincent D’Onofrio, Kimberly Elise, Mike Epps, and Elisabeth Shue also star.
In addition to Leigh Whannell’s upcoming Universal Monsters movie Wolf Man, Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel) has also joined the cast of Weapons, THR has announced tonight.
Weapons is the new horror movie from New Line Cinema and director Zach Cregger (Barbarian), with Julia Garner joining the previously announced Josh Brolin (Dune 2).
The upcoming Weapons is from writer/director Zach Cregger, who will also produce alongside his Barbarian producing team: Roy Lee of Vertigo and J.D. Lifshitz and Raphael Margules of BoulderLight Pictures. Vertigo’s Miri Yoon also produces.
The Hollywood Reporter teases, “Plot details for Weapons are being kept holstered but it is described as a multi and inter-related story horror epic that tonally is in the vein of Magnolia, the 1999 actor-crammed showcase from filmmaker Paul Thomas Anderson.”
Cregger was a founding member and writer for the New York comedy troupe “The Whitest Kids U’Know,” which he started while attending The School of Visual Arts. The award-winning group’s self-titled sketch comedy show ran for five seasons on IFC-TV and Fuse. He was also a series regular on Jimmy Fallon’s NBC series “Guys with Kids” and the TBS hit series “Wrecked,” and was featured in a recurring role on the NBC series “About a Boy.”
Weapons will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.
