‘Death Wish’ remake pushed back to 2018

Annapurna Pictures have announced that they are postponing the release, originally set for November 22nd, of Eli Roth’s Death Wish remake, which stars Bruce Willis in the role of Paul Kersey – originally made famous by Charles Brosnan in Michael Winner’s 1974 original.

Based on a screenplay by Joe Carnahan, Death Wish follows Paul Kersey (Willis) whose life is destroyed by a violent crime against his wife and daughter. Frustrated the bad guys were not brought to justice for the violence and degradation the thugs inflicted on his family, he starts hunting for the perpetrators himself.

Willis stars in the film alongside Vincent D’Onofrio, Kimberly Elise, Mike Epps, and Elisabeth Shue.

Death Wish is now scheduled for release on March 2nd 2018.
