CELEBRITY Q AND A: DENZEL WASHINGTON! (EXCLUSIVE!)
I was at a local, L.A. movie palace,watching The Equalizer starring America's Brother- Denzel Washington. I'm such a fan, I stayed through the entire end credits,enjoying Eminem's latest single,Guts Over Fear.
Anyway,the film ended with the Sony tag-line,"Be Moved" and the lights go up. I heard a curious,Southern voice state,"So, how was the film?" I really didn't hear him,as I was gathering my items from the mall.
He repeated his question,continuing a tad confused "You've spent two hours watching me,and you don't know who I am? " I then hear a lady shout from the back, "Fuck, that's Denzel!"
I look over and see the two time Oscar winner,dressed not unlike- as he was in the film: A blue dress shirt, grey dress pants,with a small bag of items of his own,under his arm.
The lady then begs Lincoln Rhyme for an autograph.He quickly looks at his watch,and simply states "I can't. Sorry,my family." As the lady audible sighs over this development, The Man on Fire turned back to me, and for the third time and restated "So, how was the film?"
"WHO'S THE BOSS, WHO'S THE BOSS, WHO'S THE BOSS!!!"-Denzel from Man on Fire: 2004.
I leaped to my feet, startling the both of us for a moment. I then demanded, "IT WAS GREAT!" The Mighty Quinn looks fairly pleased with response,nods happily. He then cocked his head & answered "Great,huh?" I then get kind of nervous,like I had sold out and revise my answer,"It was VERY good."
Washington smirked and then stated- like a game show host, "Well, I have to take your first answer-Great." He then turned around,laughed triumphantly and quickly made his way to the exit.

PUT A JACKET ON DENZEL, YOU'RE THE EQUALIZER NOW.
Sony Pictures Entertainment today announced that The Equalizer, the highly anticipated reteaming of Academy Award® winner Denzel Washington and acclaimed director Antoine Fuqua, will be digitally re-mastered into the immersive IMAX® format and released in IMAX® theatres worldwide starting September 26.
Fuqua directed Washington in the critically lauded 2001 box office hit Training Day, for which Washington won the Academy Award® for Best Actor.
In The Equalizer, Denzel Washington plays McCall, a man who believes he has put his mysterious past behind him and dedicated himself to beginning a new, quiet life. But when McCall meets Teri (Chloe Grace Moretz), a young girl under the control of ultra-violent Russian gangsters, he can't stand idly by – he has to help her.
Armed with hidden skills that allow him to serve vengeance against anyone who would brutalize the helpless, McCall comes out of his self-imposed retirement and finds his desire for justice reawakened. If someone has a problem, if the odds are stacked against them, if they have nowhere else to turn, McCall will help.
He is The Equalizer.
Directed by Antoine Fuqua. Written by Richard Wenk. Based on the Television Series Created by Michael Sloan and Richard Lindheim. Produced by Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, Denzel Washington, Alex Siskin, Steve Tisch, Mace Neufeld, Tony Eldridge, and Michael Sloan.
"Antoine Fuqua is one of the most provocative filmmakers working today, and Denzel Washington is nothing short of being one of the greatest American movie stars," said Greg Foster, Senior Executive Vice President, IMAX Corp. and CEO of IMAX Entertainment.
"We're excited to be working with our long time partners at Sony Pictures Entertainment to bring this exciting film to IMAX moviegoers worldwide."
Rory Bruer, President, Worldwide Distribution for Sony Pictures, said, "The Equalizer is a visceral action-thriller, and Denzel's character – a man driven by a relentless pursuit of justice – is one that is compelling for everyone. It's the kind of picture that is perfectly suited for The IMAX Experience®."
The IMAX release of The Equalizer will offer consumers the image and sound quality of The IMAX Experience® with its proprietary IMAX DMR® (Digital Re-mastering) technology. The crystal-clear images, coupled with IMAX's customized theatre geometry and powerful digital audio, create a unique environment that will make audiences feel as if they are in the movie.
