Is Sly Stallone considering a remake of the Bronson classic �Death Wish�?

Sounds like it.

In his ongoing Q&A;�s with the readers of Aint it Cool News, the seemingly amiable but aged - and with age, comes understanding; understanding that you've gotta come down to yours fans' level sometime - action star hinted that he might be toying with a remake of the 1974 hit.

�I�d like to get your feedback on the idea of remaking DEATHWISH with a slightly different slant�, Sly begins, �Instead of the Charles Bronson character being an architect; my version would have him as a very good cop who had incredible success without ever using his gun. So when the attack on his family happens, he�s really thrown into a moral dilemma in proceeding to carry out his revenge.�

Hmm. I dunno. Anyone else see �Get Carter�? Wasn�t that a remake of a pretty slick vigilante classic?

Update : Upon listening to the talkback responses on AICN, many who turned their nose at the idea of a remake, Stallone tells the site today that he will NOT be doing the movie. Yep, he listened to the fans!
