Case in point the big screen remake of The Equalizer, made famous on the small screen for four seasons by Edward Woodward, as a retired intelligence officer turned private detective, from 1985 to 1989.
Twenty five years later and Denzel Washington steps into the equalizing shoes of 'Robert McCall', this time a former Black Ops agent looking for a quiet life who becomes embroiled in a battle with the Russian mob when saving a young girl (Chloe Grace Moretz).
Hoping the nostalgia would draw in audiences and changing the lead actor from white to black for a fresh take didn't work with NBC's TV remake of Ironside, so let's hope that the reboot formula succeeds on the big screen this time around.
These enigmatic movie billboards were snapped along Highland Avenue in Hollywood on August 5, plus high over Sunset & Vine on August 21, 2014.
If you're a fan of the actor, be sure to check out these other movie billboards featuring Denzel Washington, like these Safe House film billboards, Flight movie billboards and the 2 Guns outdoor ad campaign.

And remember, 'Got a problem? Odds against you? Call The Equalizer'.
UPDATED: Here's another landscape billboard for the movie with this penetrating eyes, spied along L.A.'s busy Sunset Strip, along with multiple posters for the reboot spied on the side of the Whisky A Go-Go club on September 11, 2014.
