Death Wish (original) has Jack Lemmon slated to play Bronson's role before Bronson was cast instead. As much as Bronson lifted his name with Death Wish, I think a Jack Lemmon would have made it a better story, as you would fear for a less capable Jack Lemmon than you would for a more action proven capable Bronson. Since, they are taking a second go at this picture, I think they should attempt for that "Wow, is this guy (aka Jack Lemmon)really getting down like this?" factor.

Off the top of head, I would agree with the Gary Oldman suggestion,Kevin Costner, eh, not so sure about that one; Kurt Russel, maybe/probably could kill it, Danny Glover (most likely too old now), maybe Michael Keaton, reprising a Batman like role, Tom Hanks - now that would be f*&#ing good right there, Chrisoph Waltz - he would nail it, Daniel Day Lewis, but he can do anything, Robin Williams - another excellent choice by me, Kevin Spacey - he'll hit it right on the head, actually, I think that is my best choice, Kevin Spacey. Give it to Spacey! Don't agree? Refer to Usual Suspects, Swimming With Sharks, American Beauty, A Time To Kill, Midnight in Garden of Good and Evil, The Big Kahuna, or the more recent House of Cards; the guy leaves a major and lasting impact on the screen.

A younger Morgan Freeman would have been great in this role as well, but we can go all day like this...

Josh Brolin would be my first choice. But if you want to go older maybe a Nick Cage would do justice or possibly Gary Oldman would do justice and be a believable Paul Kearsey

your a *beep*

Pierce Brosnan, Gary Oldman, Michael Keaton, Liam Neeson, Michael Douglas (10 years ago) would all be good picks in my mind, though Michael Douglas is probably too old now.

EDIT: Mel Gibson would be good too! I thought he was great in Edge of Darkness.

So it's gonna be Bruce Willis! Surprised no one mentioned him. I can live with that casting choice.
