How The Equalizer came into existence!!

EQUALIZER: THE ORIGIN

Producer: I want to make a movie, I got the money. Let’s make a big action flick.

Director: You mean like Armageddon, Matrix…something like that. Maybe I can do it.

Producer: No No, I ain’t got that much money. I was thinking more like Rambo, Van Damme style one-man action.

Director: Right, I’ve got plenty of inspiration for something like that.

Producer: Right, so when do we start shooting?

Director: Well, I’ve to write a script first.

Producer: Why don’t you make one up as we go along. I want this movie to release this year.

Director: Right then, if you don’t care about the script, why should I? Who do you want in the movie, Arnold, Sylvester, I can get them if they are not too busy over Expendables 4.

Producer: Nah… old guys. Let’s try someone different. Maybe that guy who was running on top of the train in Unstoppable. He had a very serious look about him.

 Director: Denzel…right, he’s a serious guy. Usually asks for a script before he accepts an offer, he’s quite old school. But I’ll give him a call.

Director (on the phone): Denzel, what you up to?

Denzel: Nothing much, cooling my heels. You got something for me?

Director: Yeah, got a producer who liked the way you ran on the train. Wants to make a movie with you.

Denzel: Yeah yeah, I get that a lot. So what’s my role?

Director: You’ll know when I know. But there’s going to be a lot of shooting. And you better practice your Jujitsu and serious looks and scowl. We’ll need that a lot. And, we start shooting next week. Movie’s got to be ready before December.

Denzel: What’s the hurry? No one’s going anywhere.

Director: I don’t know too. Maybe the producer guy’s got a feeling that the world’s coming to an end in 2014. Anyways, he’s got the money and that’s what matters.

Denzel: Okay, if you say so. But don’t make me look like an idiot!

Director: Oh Denzzz…. Would I do that to you!!!

Cut to scene: After the movie is completed!

Denzel: Damn it dude, you did exactly what I told you not to. There, I’m looking like an idiot. I don’t even know who I am. Where did I get those skills from. I know everything about how the bad guy killed his parents and stuff, and I don’t know where the f*** I come from. What the hell man?

Director: Hey Denzz…It isn’t as bad as you think it is. About your role and your past. Look, I swear, I would have told you if I had the slightest clue about it. Why would I lie to you about it?

Producer: mmmm…. Director, maybe you could have amped the action up a bit, is our guy killing enough bad guys? There could be more bodies lying around. I’ve still got some cash left.

Director: Well, if you got the bodies we could use them… what do you say Denzz, shoot one more scene. Maybe that’ll fix the film well.

Denzel: Man…you’re the director, whatever you say. But I got just one more day to give to this b***s*** freakshow, just one day.

Director: One day..hmm..gonna be tough. But, I know exactly what to do. You walk into a room and walk out…and lots of bodies are lying all over the place. How does that sound?

Denzel: Sounds like the end of my career!

Producer: Well, your end or not, it’s the end of my cash. Get the goddamn movie ino theaters. Its gonna be great!

Cut to scene: After release

Audience: What the f***?
