Drive director Nicholas Winding Refn was in talks to direct Denzel Washington in The Equalizer, but those talks didn't pan out. The two parties were close to a deal, but, for unknown reasons, it fell apart in the final hour, Collider has learned.
Sony still plans to shoot the movie in May though, so the studio will be looking for Refn's replacement. As for who that will be, Sony probably has someone in mind since the studio met with a bunch of directors before settling on Refn.
Scripted by The Expendables 2's Richard Wenk, The Equalizer is an adaptation of the '80s TV series starring Edward Woodward as an ex-spook-turned- private-eye who uses his connections and unique set of skills to help out people in need.
Sony plans to release The Equalizer on April 11, 2014.
Refn will have a movie out sometime this year called Only God Forgives. In the movie, Ryan Gosling stars as a man who manages a Thai boxing club in Bangkok. When his brother is killed, he sets out to find his killer in the criminal underworld.
What's next for Refn after he's done with Only God Forgives? Well, there are no shortage of movies looking for directors. With Refn's resume, we'll hear something sooner rather than later.
