THE EQUALIZER

Paul Haggis is in talks to draft the THE EQUALIZER, based on the popular 80’s television show created by Michael Sloan and Richard Lindheim. The story follows a veteran covert operative seeking redemption for his dark deeds, quits a CIA-like agency and puts an advertisement in the paper that reads simply: “Got a problem? Odds against you? Call the Equalizer.”

Russell Crowe was recently attached to star.

A former black ops commando who faked his death for a quiet life in Boston comes out of his retirement to rescue a young girl and finds himself face to face with Russian gangsters.
