Sony have released the first poster for the theatrical version of the hit TV show The Equalizer. Up to now all we’ve seen is a single image so hopefully a trailer will follow soon.

The TV show was released back in 1985 and ran for four seasons. It starred British legend Edward Woodward as Robert McCall who worked for a secret US Governement Agency which was never named. The movie treatment sees Denzel Washington taking on the lead role as McCall alongside a great cast which also inclides Chloë Grace Moretz, Marton Csokas, Melissa Leo and Haley Bennett.

Starring Denzel Washington, it tells the story of a former black ops commando who faked his death and is now living a quiet life and returns to action to rescue a prostitute from evil pimps; his actions cause the Russian mob to send rogue CIA agents to kill him; he battles back against overwhelming odds, defeating them and becoming “The Equalizer.”

The Equalizer will be with us 10th October. We got to speak to the film’s Producer Mace Neufeld recently during the release of the latest Jack Ryan (Shadow Recruit) movie who gave us a little insight into what we can expect:

I think you can expect a really exciting film. We’re still in post production but Director Antoine Fuqua’s Director’s cut was one of the best Director’s cuts I’ve ever seen. Sony is very excited about it and hopefully it’ll be the beginning of another franchise. Denzel Washington of course is a superb actor and that’ll be with us later this year.
