Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington has always struck me as the kind
of guy who could stop traffic, but who knew he'd literally be doing it
in the streets of New York, with a gun, no less?
The 53-year-old actor was on location in the Big Apple yesterday, filming scenes for his new movie, which is actually a remake (aren't they all anymore?) of the 1974 thriller 'The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3.'
Denzel stars as transit cop Zachary "Z" Garber, a role originally played by Walter Matthau, who must take on a group of hijackers, led by John Travolta. The hijackers take over a subway train and hold the passengers hostage, demanding a large ransom. James Gandolfini also co-stars as the mayor of New York - that's a far cry from Tony Soprano, isn't it?
IMHO, I still think Denzel could stop traffic without the gun.
