I loved this show when I was little. While I liked the story, the Equalizer's sidekick Mickey, and the occasional appearance of Robert Mitchum, the strength of the show was the sheer personality of Edward Woodward. With a good script, Denzel Washington has the personality to pull this off.

The original series co-starred the guy who played Daniel Holtz on Angel. I only know that because of IMDB. I'd never heard of the show until this.

He's fictional, but you can't have everything.

Nicolas Winding Refn to Direct 'The Equalizer' Starring Denzel Washington
Nicolas Winding Refn is in early talks to helm Sony's big-screen remake of 1980s TV series The Equalizer.
The project, scheduled to go into production in late spring, will star Denzel Washington as Robert McCall, a veteran covert operative who, seeking redemption for his dark deeds, quits a CIA-like agency and puts a classified advertisement in the paper that reads simply: "Got a problem? Odds against you? Call the Equalizer."
Richard Wenk (The Expendables 2) penned the screenplay. . . .
