#TRAILERCHEST: Bruce Willis appears to kill every last person in Chicago in the new Death Wish

“I loved my family, but when they needed me most… I failed to protect them…”

Welcome to #TrailerChest, where we’re taking a sneak peek at the brand new trailer for Death Wish.

Plot’s it all about? We’ve extracted the urine from Bruce Willis movie trailers before (like here and here), but that was mostly because those movies genuinely looked like Bruce had stopped caring about his career as an actor. But with Death Wish, ironically it looks like there’s a flash of life in the old boy yet.

In a remake of the 1974 cult classic, Willis takes on the role by Charles Bronson, as a mild mannered father and husband who becomes a one-man vigilante army when his family are violently attacked.

This time around, the movie is directed by Eli Roth (of Hostel and Cabin Fever fame) and written by Joe Carnahan (Narc, Smokin’ Aces, The Grey), so you can imagine that the capacity for violence has been turned WAY up.

If it works out, this could be a new franchise for Willis to front, but while Charles Bronson hung around for five of them, hopefully Willis doesn’t make the same mistake…
