Carnahan's Wish

Commig off the weekend success of  The Grey director Joe Carnahan has been hired to write and direct a reboot of the Death Wish film series says The Los Angeles Times.

Might this lead to a third film with Liam Neeson?....

The original Death Wish with Charles Bronson from 1974 followed an architect whose wife is raped and murdered and his daughter savagely beaten by three hoods. He then becomes a one-man assassin killing criminals on the New York streets.

Jeff Goldblum, Denzel Washington and Saul Rubinek have small roles as Criminals in the first pic, as does filmmaker Christopher Guest who plays a cop.

Sylvester Stallone previously tried to mount a reboot five years ago but it didn't get past the talk stage.

Jules Daly will produce the remake
