Another 1980s TV series is headed to the big screen. This time, Denzel Washington will play Robert “The Equalizer” McCall in “The Equalizer”. Richard Wenk (“Expendables 2”) is writing the script. The film will have a small budget and the studio is looking for directors who can deliver bang on a budget. No official word on who they are considering, but rumors are swirling that Pierre Morel (“Taken”),  Nicolas Winding Refn (“Drive”), Gavin O’Connor (“Warrior”)  and Gareth Evans (“The Raid”) are all up for the job.
