Joe Carnahan has a 'Death Wish'

Joe Carnahan will write and direct a remake of the 1974 Charles Bronson classic "Death Wish."
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Sylvester Stallone had tried getting a remake off the ground a few years back but nothing materialized past the development stage.
"Death Wish" was a controversial 1974 crime thriller, loosely based on Brian Garfield's novel of the same name, that centered on New York architect Paul Kersey (Bronson), a man who becomes a vigilante after his wife is murdered and his daughter is raped by muggers.
The film, directed by Michael Winner, was denounced by critics for its glorification of revenge and vigilantism.
It was a commercial success, however, with four sequels following over a twenty-year period.
Carnahan's latest film, "The Grey," won the domestic box office over the weekend.
His other credits include "Narc," "Smokin' Aces" and "The A-Team."
