According a Sony statement, Washington plays a solitary, monastic figure who hates injustice and devotes himself to helping people who are being victimized. With a no-nonsense attitude, compassion and experience with dealing with a wide variety of situations, he’s a powerful and useful detective.
The film will be heavily based on the hit 1980s CBS series of the same title, and will be reuniting Washington and Training Day director Antoine Fuqua.
“The Equalizer” is scheduled to be released Sept. 26, 2014.
