We've been pining for awhile about the upcoming reboot of the CBS spy drama The Equalizer. This 1980's series starred Edward Woodward as retired CIA operative Robert McCall who helps people in need in New York City. And while shows like Person of Interest have upped the stakes, it was The Equalizer that first set the bat. Now, we finally have a trailer from Director Antoine Fuqua's film, which stars Denzel Washington and Chloe Grace-Moretz.
Based on the very good early test screenings, we think the Euro-style action and character exposition look pretty bad ass. As we look at the trailer, we see the appearance of Melissa Leo as a blonde talking to McCall: is this the famed appearance of the shadowy Control, who made McCall's life a living Hell in the series? Leo played Sally in 2012's very good Oblivion so now we're instantly hoping for her to repeat the memorable phrase, "Are you an effective team?"
As a huge fan of this series - and of Denzel in general - we're excited to see this come to fruition, but what do you think? Comment below!
