From Variety
With the success of Rocky Balboa and the anticipated success of the upcoming Rambo film, Sylvester Stallone is back in business. Now Stallone is eying up a remake of MGM?s 1974 action pic, Death Wish. Stallone is looking to direct and star in this film about a man who turns into a vigilante when his family is put in jeopardy. Screenwriters Michael Ferris and John Brancato (Terminator 3) will write the film pending a writer?s strike settlement. The original movie starred a young, handsome Charles Bronson, but with Stallone coming in to star in the remake, who knows what impact this could have on the industry. What?s next? Peter O?Toole in Falling Down? Wilford Brimley in Bullit!?
