Bruce has done some quality films over the years - Pulp Fiction, Sin City, Die Hard 1-3, Twelve Monkeys - but has also done a lot of cr4p! His CV in the past decade hasn't exactly been brilliant - Surrogates, Cop Out, Expendables, RED, G.I. Joe, Die Hard 4-5 - so I say fair play to Carnahan for sticking to his guns if he doesn't think he's right for the job. Since he's gone bald, Willis does have a tendency to 'just be Bruce Willis' in every film these days.

that was a great trailer. that film has been in development hell forever. i dont know about Clint now (10 years ago yes - same for Connery) so who? Bruce has done his own version with Looper, Arnie has already been CGed and doubled(T4, Sixth Day) but maybe Ford (fighting Deckard) or Gibson (fighting Mad Max Mel)

I'm just tired of seeing Bruce Willis doing Bruce Willis...I mean I enjoy Brucie but he doesn't need to be in everything! Why can't Hollywood just look for new faces...there are so many unemployed actors that would die for something like this. OR get forgotten people like Tom Selleck or Steve Guttenberg for a role like this. Something they never done bbefore...I would love to see that.

Death Wish won't work with Bruce Willis or Stallone or any of those action hardmen. We've seen them kill all the baddies and win too often. The hero of Death Wish has to be an average guy that the audience will worry for when he takes on the muggers. Benicio Del Toro would be in the Charles Bronson mould and could be a good choice. It would be hilarious to see King Nerd himself Jesse Eisenberg take on the muggers, you'd shit your pants every second for him, ha ha. Oh, and Jeff Goldblum has to have a cameo as he played a mugger in the first film, this time he should be a victim.
