The Equalizer gets pushed back
Five month delay for the big screen remake of the 80s TV show
The big screen adaptation of classic 80s show 'The Equalizer' has been pushed back five months.
Originally due out on April 11, 2014, it will instead emerge from the shadows seeking vigilante vengeance on September 26, 2014.
It's being directed by Antoine Fuqua, the man who helmed recent Presidential calamity flick 'Olympus Has Fallen' and the Oscar-winning 'Training Day'.

And like training day, Fuqua has Denzel Washington in the lead.
Washington takes on the mantle from the late Edward Woodward, who immortalised the role of former spook Robert McCall, who became a force for justice in the perilous New York of the 1980s.
McCall, who drove a classic Jaguar XJ6, would advertise his services in an iconic newspaper ad, which read: “Got a problem? Odds against you? Call the Equalizer. 212 555 4200.”

Starring alongside Washington are 'Kick-Ass' star Chloe Grace Moretz, Melissa Leo, Marton Csokas and Haley Bennett.
'Drive' director Nicolas Winding Refn was originally rumoured to be in the director's chair for the movie, as well as 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' helmsman Rupert Wyatt.
