Denzel Washington may have two Oscars to his name, but the accomplished actor is part of just one film franchise. Though that may be the case, the franchise he is part of is blowing up on the streaming charts. Per FlixPatrol, Washington's The Equalizer 3is currently Number 12 in the U.S. among all the movies streaming on Hulu.

The 2023 threequel is ahead of The Heat, Just Go with It, and F Marry Kill, which are in the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth spots, respectively. The top spot on the Hulu chart belongs to Jason Statham’s Wrath of Man.

In The Equalizer 3, Washington reprises his role as Robert McCall, who, after giving up his work as a government assassin, tries to repent for his past. In the film, McCall is seen trying to adjust to a new life in southern Italy. But, he soon has to step into action...

After its Valentine's Day release, Netflix's latest rom-com, La Dolce Villa, took the number one spot on the streaming service's Top 10 movies. The film, which translates to "The Sweet Villa," stars Scandal actor Scott Foley as Eric Field, who rushes to Tuscany, Italy, after his daughter, Olivia Field (Maia Reficco), decides to purchase a crumbling villa to restore it herself. The two have an estranged relationship, and Eric isn't thrilled by Olivia's impulsive purchase, so he decides to leave his busy life and follow her to Italy to stop this rash decision. His plans, however, didn't account for a potential romance blossoming as he found himself falling for the town's mayor, Francesca (Violante Placido). It's a beautiful film...

Netflix's miniseries From Scratch is one of the most emotional and poignant series the streaming giant has produced. The story follows Amy, an American art student (Zoe Saldaña), who falls in love with Sicilian chef Lino (Eugenio Mastrandrea), while living in Italy. From Scratch resonated with Netflix viewers worldwide and became an instant hit. While the love story drew audiences in, it was the show's exploration of the couple's hardships that made it special. After Lino is diagnosed with cancer, the couple struggles with his health issues, navigates the culture clash between their judgmental families, and eventually adopts a child.

Many viewers were surprised to learn that the limited series is based on a true story. Series creators and real-life sisters Tembi and Attica Locke drew inspiration from Tembi's memoir, From Scratch: A Memoir of Love, Sicily, and Finding Home. While some details of their lives were altered for the series,...

Zoe Saldaña starred in a Netflix drama, From Scratch, that flew under most people's radars and now viewers may be wondering if it's worth returning to. From Scratch is a 2022 Netflix show that stars Saldaña as Amy Wheeler, a Georgetown law student who takes a break from her studies to travel to Italy. While she's there, she falls in love with a free-spirited chef, Lino (Eugenio Mastrandrea), and begins to realize that maybe there is more to life than just what she planned for herself. In only eight episodes, From Scratch explores the ups and downs of new romance.

The series premiered in October 2022, and it's not correct to say that it caught Zoe Saldaña in the middle of her hot streak, because it hasn't been so much a streak as an entire career. Since 2009, with her dual roles in Avatar and Star Trek, Saldaña has been one of the...

Exclusive: Bulgarian actress Irmena Chichikova, seen recently in SXSW 2024 breakout The Black Sea, has signed with L.A.-based boutique management and production company Rewind.

Chichikova appeared opposite Derrick B. Harden in his critically acclaimed American-Bulgarian comedy The Black Sea, co-directed with Crystal Moselle, revolving around a charismatic dreamer from Brooklyn who inadvertently ends up as the only Black person in a small town on the Black Sea in Eastern Europe.

The film was acquired by Metrograph Pictures for the U.S. shortly after its SXSW run and has just opened in L.A. on December 13.

Chichikova previously made her U.S. debut in 2023 in a recurring role in Marvel’s miniseries Secret Invasion, alongside Samuel L. Jackson and Emilia Clarke.

She also starred in the drama Viktoria, which made its debut in the World Dramatic Competition at the Sundance Film Festival, and won the Golden Rose National Film Festival...

Exclusive: Colby Holt and Sam Probst, the Chicago-based filmmakers behind the indie horror thriller Ganymede, have signed with Rewind for management.

Released earlier this month through Kino and Vmi Releasing, Ganymede follows Lee Fletcher IV (Jordan Doww), a high school wrestler who develops a crush on his openly gay classmate Kyle (Pablo Castelblanco). Suddenly, Lee finds he is being haunted by a creature that not only lives in his bedroom closet, but also has the ability to invade his thoughts. Joe Chrest and David Koechner also star.

The directing team’s first feature, Pig Hag, premiered in Narrative Feature Competition at the 2019 SXSW Film Festival.

Denzel Washington's The Equalizer 3 continues to impress on Netflix with a strong performance months after its debut. The action-packed thriller marks a successful conclusion to Washington's reboot of the popular TV series. While initially concluding the story, the potential for a fourth movie is teased by the writer and director in interviews.

Denzel Washington scored a huge box office hit with The Equalizer 3, and that success has continued with the action movie climbing up the Netflix movie chart almost three months after its debut on the platform. Having delivered a strong theatrical performance last year, Washington’s threequel landed itself a ninth place position in Netflix’s Top 10 chart for the week ending March 31.

The cast and crew of The Equalizer 3 filmed in Italy, utilizing locations in Rome and Campania to capture the essence of the film's setting. Cinecittà Studios in Rome served as a significant filming location, offering spacious and famous film studios for certain sequences in the movie. The picturesque Amalfi Coast and Naples in Campania provided a backdrop that made it seem like the film was set in Sicily, even though the actual Sicilian scenes were shot on the other side of the Tyrrhenian Sea.

It likely serves as Denzel Washington's last outing as Robert McCall in the franchise, and The Equalizer 3 filming locations took them to Italy for the final movie. Aside from Washington, the rest of the cast included Dakota Fanning as Emma Collins, Eugenio Mastrandrea as Gio Bonucci, David Denman as Frank Conroy, Sonia Ben Ammar as Chiara Bonucci, and Remo Girone as Enzo Arisio.

Despite being marketed as the final chapter, a surprise fourth installment of The Equalizer franchise is in very early development. The success of The Equalizer 3 at the box office makes the idea of a fourth movie less surprising. Writer Richard Wenk is tasked with figuring out how the franchise can continue.

Last year’s action sequel The Equalizer 3 was marketed as the final chapter in director Antoine Fuqua and star Denzel Washington’s saga, but writer Richard Wenk, who has written all three installments in The Equalizer franchise, has now hinted that a surprise fourth movie could be on the cards. In a recent interview with Empire Magazine, Wenk explained that, while he felt that the third outing was the last and provided closure, he has now been “tasked” with finding out how the franchise could continue...

“I felt it was over. It felt like the final chapter for this guy.

The Equalizer films explore the inner struggle of protagonist Robert McCall, who questions his own principles and morality. Symbolic storms and rain in the films represent McCall's violent tendencies and the conflict between his past and present selves. The religious parade scene in The Equalizer 3 serves as a metaphor for McCall's spiritual regeneration and redefining himself through acts of violence.

Loosely based on a TV series that first premiered on CBS back in the 1980s, the 2014 big-screen adaptation of The Equalizer starring Denzel Washington did an excellent job at retelling the action-packed tale of the infamous retired Dia agent. The Man on Fire actor was praised for his sturdiness in the role, and fans welcomed the slower pace of the action movie and hard-hitting payoffs.

Because of the film’s success (who doesn’t like a good nail gun death scene?), a sequel was released in 2018, which saw...

The siblings, who already adapted Tembi’s memoir as the Netflix series From Scratch, have signed an overall deal with Universal Television and set up their first project under the pact: an adaptation of Attica’s novel Bluebird, Bluebird.

The drama, which does not yet have a network/platform attached, revolves around Darren Mathews, a Black Texas Ranger who is deeply ambivalent about growing up Black in the lone star state and was the first in his family to get as far away from Texas as he could — until duty called him home.

The Lockes will co-write and exec produce the series alongside Richard Abate, Jermaine Johnson and Will Rowbotham for 3 Arts Entertainment.

“From our first meeting with Universal Television, we felt instant creative alignment,” said Attica and Tembi Locke. “As authors, we understand storytelling across different formats and platforms.

Featuring Washington as the former marine-turned-vigilante Robert McCall, The Equalizer 3 has enjoyed a respectable stretch since its Sept. 1 debut, with the Sony Pictures title grossing $148.7 million against a $70 million budget to date. Helmed by Training Day director Antoine Fuqua, The Equalizer 3 has received the most positive feedback of any film in the trilogy, attracting a 75% critical rating and 94% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, praising its entertainment value and action sequences.

The Equalizer 3 is the final installment of the trilogy and takes place in Sicily, where Robert McCall goes on a vigilante mission to protect his friends from the Italian criminal organization, the Camorra. The movie features new characters, including Emma Collins, Gio Bonucci, Frank Conroy, Chiara Bonucci, and Vincent Quaranta, as Robert's storyline moves to Italy. Major characters from the previous movies, such as Teri, Brian Plummer, and Ralphie, do not return for The Equalizer 3, as their storylines were complete and did not fit with the new location and focus of the movie.

While The Equalizer 3 sees Denzel Washington return as Robert McCall, multiple major characters sat out the sequel. Robert McCall is once again on a vigilante mission, now in Sicily, to protect his friends from the Camorra, the Italian criminal organization. The Equalizer 3 was released in theaters and set a box office record for...

The Equalizer 3 did not bring back original characters because it was always intended to have separate storylines. The focus of The Equalizer 2 was on the Dia and dangerous assassins, making it difficult to bring back characters, such as Ralphie and Alina. The addition of new characters, particularly Emma Collins-Plummer, created excitement and still maintained a connection to Robert's past associates.

Director Antoine Fuqua explains why The Equalizer 3 didn’t bring back two original movie characters. The trilogy began in 2014 when former Dia officer Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) came out of retirement to handle the Russian mafia who had trafficked a teenager. In the seemingly final installment, Robert discovers his new friends are being threatened by the Italian mafia and decides to take the criminal organization on by himself. The Equalizer 3 also stars Dakota Fanning, Eugenio Mastrandrea, David Denman, and Remo Girone.

The Equalizer movies have featured a range of supporting characters,...

Spoilers for "The Equalizer 3" follow.

Antoine Fuqua's new film "The Equalizer 3" takes place in a placid, seaside Italian village where the vicious vigilante Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) has come to rest. Well, more specifically, McCall is there to recover from a bullet wound after having infiltrated a gangster's Italian lair and murdered him and about a hundred of his thugs. While he recovers, McCall finds that he likes the town's quaint storefronts and friendly locals, eventually realizing that he'd like to retire to this place as soon as possible. Before that can happen, though, he first has to murder several hundred more mafiosi who aim to bully the hamlet's shopowners from their buildings, tear the town down, and build garish casinos in its place. 

One evening while enjoying a dinner out, McCall witnesses a tattooed, gun-toting fratboy criminal shake down the only good cop in town (Eugenio Mastrandrea...

While it’s certainly nice to get a change of scenery from the Boston travelogue of the first two films in the Equalizer series, Italy, at least on paper, might seem like an odd, random choice of locale for Antoine Fuqua to wrap up the trilogy. But not long after The Equalizer 3 opens on an Italian man and his son cruising toward a Sicilian vineyard, it all starts to make sense: The fertile soil and pathways to the main villa are strewn with mutilated bodies, all the way down into a basement where the shadowy figure of Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) looks upon the aforementioned man with a casually predatory indifference.

Those opening minutes justify the trek to Italy more than any of the delicious-looking cappuccinos that McCall downs later in the film. Despite always being on the side of swift justice for the little guys of the world,...

The Equalizer 3 hopes to be as hard-hitting at the box office as it is with its action sequences as the upcoming thriller looks set for a solid opening weekend in theaters.

Per Variety, The Equalizer threequel is expected to earn between $28 million and $30 million in domestic ticket sales between Sept. 1 and 3 at it's expected the movie will comfortably top the box office going up against another new release in Neill Blomkamp's Gran Turismo. The projected box-office tally could reach as high as $40 million by Sept. 4 to round out Labor Day weekend.

Despite the solid projection, The Equalizer 3's opening weekend pales in comparison to the previous two installments of the titular film series, which is based on the popular CBS series of the same name which aired from 1985 to 1989. The Equalizer enjoyed a debut weekend take...

Denzel Washington takes a final bow as heroic vigilante Robert McCall in The Equalizer 3. Severely wounded after a mysterious mission in Sicily, an unconscious McCall is found by a kind policeman (Eugenio Mastrandrea). He's taken to the idyllic seaside town of Altamonte on the Amalfi Coast and nursed back to health. McCall is generously accepted and finds peace for the first time in his life. That's shattered when the Camorra, Italian organized crime, targets the locals with brutal extortion methods. McCall must defend his new friends but also complete what he started before getting injured.

Director Antoine Fuqua brings a symphony of masterful violence to the trilogy's conclusion. He comments that "filming in Italy was like a dream." Fuqua wanted an "unexpected setting" for McCall's "final masterpiece." Shooting with "the people in the village" in their "actual language" adds a "layer of texture to cinema you can't fake."

The Equalizer 3...

Nobody can threaten someone quietly better than Denzel Washington.

Oh, our man can pump up the volume when he needs to, in terms of letting people know he’s bringing the pain — our ears are still ringing from his “King Kong ain’t got shit on me!” taunt from Training Day. But when he lowers his voice to a basso profundo rumble and he fixes that dead-eyed stare on someone, the one that suggests the unflappable, untouchable Teflon Denzel has officially entered the building, and issues some sort of oh-you’ve-stepped-in-it-now promise of bodily harm?...

Director Antoine Fuqua and Denzel Washington orchestrate a symphony of masterful violence in the summer's best action film. The Equalizer 3 brings bloody vengeance to Italy's beautiful Amalfi Coast. An unstoppable killer burdened by loneliness discovers friendship and belonging in the company of kind strangers. He'll return the favor when their price of extortion becomes intolerable. The saga of heroic vigilante Robert McCall comes to a thrilling conclusion in an unexpected storyline. His reasons for leaving Boston and confronting a merciless new enemy opens a different path of possibilities.

In Sicily, Don Lorenzo Vitale (Bruno Bilotta) arrives at his palatial estate to a shocking surprise. The gate guards have been killed. He cautiously drives into the courtyard. More dead bodies litter the path. The nervous crime boss gets a gun from his glove compartment. He approaches the front door. A terrified soldato shakes as he answers the simple question, "Why are you alive?...

Returning for the third installment in the gritty action saga, The Equalizer 3 aims to deepen the mysterious world of Robert McCall. With Denzel Washington’s undeniable charm at its helm and Antione Fuqua’s seasoned direction, the film promises a continuation of its intense street-justice narrative. Yet, does it deliver the high-octane thrills we’ve come to expect, or does it falter under the weight of its own legacy? In addition to Washington, the film also stars Dakota Fanning, Eugenio Mastrandrea, Andrea Scarduzio, and Remo Girone. Richard Wenk returns as screenwriter.

The film starts with one of the bloodiest intro scenes, beginning with Robert McCall (Washington) captured by thugs. They don’t stand a chance, though, as McCall delivers his famed countdown smackdown, and just like that, the bad guys are rendered useless. After the encounter, he ends up in the small Italian town of Altomonte to recover. He stays with the local doctor,...

Just who is the Equalizer? Despite a hit TV show in the 1980s and another with Queen Latifah still running, that title has become synonymous with Denzel Washington, who returns as government-assassin-turned-vigilante Robert McCall. Billed as the final chapter in a trilogy, “The Equalizer 3” sees McCall finding community in a picturesque part of Italy and being forced to protect its people from the mafia. The film also reteams Washington with director Antoine Fuqua for the fifth time, and their comfort with one another ensures a seamless action movie that might not attract new fans, but should play well to those already fond of this franchise.

Fuqua throws the audience directly into the action. The camera follows a man as he walks through an Italian vineyard strewn with bodies, knives and bullet wounds jutting out of them. McCall must be close by, a point reinforced by Marcelo Zarvos’ quietly alarming score.

To enjoy the (allegedly) final entry in Antoine Fuqua’s “The Equalizer” trilogy, it’s not at all crucial to understand the particulars of how former Marine and intelligence operative Robert McCall (Denzel Washington) lands in Italy for this latest outing. It’s safe to assume the vigilante is there to kick some bad-dude butt, with more convoluted revelations to come. Wherever Robert McCall lands, even a luxurious private winery, there are villains afoot for him to kill off in the most gruesome manners, details be damned.

And “The Equalizer 3” opens with Robert skulking around said winery, offing dark-clad mercenary types, and apparently setting right some sort of horrible injustice. As we might expect, he gets much more than he bargained for — and so will fans of Fuqua’s brutal action series, which closes out in fine style.

His foray into Italy begins with snappy, bloody vignettes, putting both...

September 2023 brings a variety of movies to theaters, including horror stories from major franchises like The Conjuring and Saw, along with new stories from different genres.

Don’t mess with Denzel Washington.

The Oscar winner is back as former CIA agent Robert McCall in “The Equalizer 3,” helmed by Antoine Fuqua. The third film in the franchise follows Robert (Washington) as he relocates to Italy in hopes to forget his past. Of course, danger follows Robert everywhere, and the ex-assassin cannot truly escape his killer instincts.

According to the film’s official synopsis, Robert McCall (Washington) has struggled to reconcile the horrific things he’s done in the past and finds a strange solace in serving justice on behalf of the oppressed. Finding himself surprisingly at home in Southern Italy, he discovers his new friends are under the control of local crime bosses. As events turn deadly, McCall knows what he has to do: become his friends’ protector by taking on the mafia.

The film marks a “Man on Fire” reunion for Washington and co-star Dakota Fanning,...

"You seem like a man who understands violence." Sony has unveiled an official trailer for The Equalizer 3, another highly anticipated sequel arriving in theaters later this year. The production just wrapped filming in January, and the release is set for September - this is looks totally awesome already. This sequel to The Equalizer (2014) and The Equalizer 2 (2018), originally loosely based on the 1980s TV series, sees Robert McCall in Italy taking on an entirely different kind of crime kingpin. After settling down in Southern Italy, his friends start to end up dead and he realizes he must now confront the dangerous Italian mafia head on. Denzel Washington returns as McCall, with an ensemble cast including Dakota Fanning, Sonia Ben Ammar, Remo Girone, Andrea Dodero, Eugenio Mastrandrea, and Andrea Scarduzio. Let's go!! I don't know how they pulled this off, but it looks even more badass than the first two movies?...

Sony has revealed new footage for The Equalizer 3. A follow-up to 2018’s The Equalizer 2, The Equalizer 3 will see Denzel Washington return to action as Robert McCall. While not much has been disclosed about the movie, the highly-anticipated action movie is slated to release on September 1, 2023.

Recently, Sony unveiled The Equalizer 3's first look at CinemaCon. According to a Screen Rant representative, the footage splices together Equalizer 3’s action violence with more lighthearted banter between Washington and The Equalizer 3 co-star Dakota Fanning. The reel set the scene for The Equalizer 3’s plot.

After retiring from equalizing and seeking a peaceful life, Robert McCall (Washington) is thrust back into violent chaos after witnessing a mafia car bomb and child abuse. The subtitle “The Final Chapter” also played in the trailer.

In between doling out Oscar-worthy performances and making Shakespearean monologues feel like something you haven't heard a thousand times before, Denzel Washington has spent the past two decades cracking skulls and taking names, going back to at least "Man on Fire." In fact, he's been doing it so long, his co-star in Tony Scott's sublime 2004 action-thriller, Dakota Fanning, had the chance to go off and grow up into a fully-fledged adult actor. That noise you just heard was the sound of millions of Millennials popping the vertebrae in their backs as they abruptly jerked upright, crying out in terror.

Washington and Fanning are now in the process of reuniting for "The Equalizer 3." The vigilante movie franchise is based on the 1980s series of the same name, which was also re-imagined as a TV show starring Queen Latifah in 2021. Both reboots retain the basic setup of the original show,...

After a sequel in 2018, Washington is slated to re-team with Fuqua for a third film, which will transport the action out of the U.S. and into Italy.

Denzel Washington is slated to return in The Equalizer 3, and a new synopsis teases that he'll have his hands full facing off against the Italian mafia.

While short on specifics, the synopsis makes clear that McCall's main new enemy in the film will be the Italian mafia. Check out the film's synopsis below:

Since...

“Deep, deep down, I knew it was going to be an uphill experience, and I was ready. I was all for it, and it ended up being much harder than I was expecting, but we showed up every day,” admits Zoe Saldana about starring in and co-producing the hit Netflix limited series “From Scratch.” For our recent webchat she adds, “the cast, the LA crew, the Italian crew; we showed up every day, and we gave it 120%. It didn’t matter if it was 16 hour days or 10 hour days. We were in it because we had all been moved by [writer and co-creator] Tembi’s story. But also we all had our personal share of grief, and we were there for ourselves as well, and Tembi gave us that space. That’s the thing about death and grief is it’s not an exclusive walk in life, it is inclusive of everyone and of everything.

Remember that your mind knows that you’re acting, but your body doesn’t and so your body is reacting is reacting like a cancer patient.’ In my in my body it’s been very difficult portraying him.
