Death Wish is an upcoming American vigilante action film directed by Eli Roth, a remake of the 1974 film of the same name which starred Charles Bronson in the lead, based on the 1972 novel written by Brian Garfield. The remake will star Bruce Willis as main character Paul Kersey, and is scheduled to be released on March 2, 2018, by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Annapurna Pictures.
A doctor in Chicago becomes a vigilante when his wife is murdered and his daughter brutally attacked by robbers.
Development for the film began in 2006, when Sylvester Stallone announced that he would be directing and starring in a remake of Death Wish. Stallone stated, "Instead of the Charles Bronson character being an architect, my version would have him as a very good cop who had incredible success without ever using his gun. So when the attack on his family happens, he’s really thrown into a moral dilemma in proceeding to carry out his revenge." On December 20, 2006, however, Stallone officially announced that he will not be doing the Death Wish remake, due to "creative differences".
In late January 2012, The Hollywood Reporter stated that a remake was confirmed and would be written and directed by Joe Carnahan. the film was originally set to star Liam Neeson and Frank Grillo. However, Carnahan left the film in 2013 and director Gerardo Naranjo was then attached to the project, he was interested in casting Benicio Del Toro in the lead role, but this version also never came into fruition.
