Perhaps the only (or best) reason is that if successful the remake could be a hit and spawn sequels.<\/p>\n<p>In the original Bronson was an architect. \u00a0Making Willis a doctor does provide more conflict for the character. \u00a0After all, he did take an oath to save lives not end them. \u00a0Other than that it seems we have the same peaceful man turned into a killing machine. \u00a0In one earlier version of the script the idea was that the Bronson\/Willis character would be a peaceful man but after his family&#8217;s murder we learn that he was once a violent gang member. \u00a0THAT could have been an interesting back story.<\/p>\n<p>In the original film, Bronson&#8217;s wife and daughter get\u00a0raped, his wife murdered and his daughter left in a coma with little hope of recovery. \u00a0Bronson has lost everything and gained a death wish. \u00a0In the remake Willis&#8217; daughter appears\u00a0well on the road to recovery. \u00a0Willis has something to live for. \u00a0For him to just go out to kill muggers treads the line of wanting to be a hero. \u00a0That gives the film\u00a0a different vibe which still can work if done correctly.<\/p>\n<p>The poster is not bad. \u00a0Not great and definitely has an 80&#8217;s feel with the tagline&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;They came for his family. \u00a0Now he is coming for them.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>(&#8220;Murdock, I&#8217;m coming for you!&#8221; \u00a0Rambo, anyone?)<\/p>\n<p>The jury is still out on this remake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By now you&#8217;ve probably seen the poster and trailer for the new Death Wish movie coming out on November 22nd.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[51,54],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18565","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-crime","category-movies"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18565","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18565"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18565\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18567,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18565\/revisions\/18567"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18565"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18565"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18565"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
