I\’ve wanted to see two remakes for years now (before remakes got popular). One was Shane starring Michael Fassbender (but then he did Slow West, yawn) and the other was Death Wish. I wasn\’t sure who I wanted to be the lead but I was leaning toward a Robert Downey Jr. type. An everyman. I think Bruce Willis isn\’t a good choice because he\’s seen too much as a tough guy. Just my two cents.

Death Sentence is based on another book by Garfield, which is actually a sequel to Death Wish (but the film is very different). The Brave One is clearly an homage (or rehash of if you\’re being unkind) to Death Wish, but not a direct adaptation.

I thought they already remade Death Wish twice, the Brave One with Jodie Foster and Death Sentence with Kevin Bacon. I could be wrong, but for some reason I remember them being advertised at the time as remakes of Death Wish. Personally, I\’m more excited to see the original Death Wish this month at the New Beverly Cinema.
