The first trailer for Hostel director Eli Roth's remake of Death Wish is now online - and you can watch it above!

Bruce Willis will be stepping into the role played by Charles Bronson, in a story that has been updated for modern times by Roth and A-Team reboot director, Joe Carnahan. Along with Willis, Death Wish features actors like Vincent D'Onorio (Daredevil), Elisabeth Shue (Leaving Las Vegas), Dean Norris (Breaking Bad) and Mike Epps.

As you can see above, the remake's story revolves around a vigilante who starts to become a social media trending topic. That vigilante turns out to be Paul Kersey (Willis) a peaceful family man whose life is up-ended when his wife and daughter are the victims of a violent home invasion. In the aftermath, Paul gets his hands on some guns and decides that the law isn't doing enough to clean up the streets - so he sets out to correct the problem himself.

Eli Roth isn't known for restraint or subtlety in his his films, and Death Wish definitely looks like it will indulge in revenge fantasy without a second thought or pause to contemplate things like gun violence. That will probably be a relief for some action movie fans, who prefer the throwback approach - meaning, bigger body counts and less moral or political messaging in their action flicks.

Death Wish will be in theaters on November 22nd.

Laugh as much as you want at 'Armageddon,' but seeing Bruce Willis say one last goodbye to his daughter and save the world brings tears to my eyes every time.
'Speed' never stops moving and has Dennis Hopper in perfect form.
Nic Cage as Castor Troy is really the only reason anyone needs to see 'Face/Off.' That, and doves. Lots and lots of doves.
John McClane taking on Hans Gruber's relative? Yes, please. 'Die Hard With A Vengeance' is another great edition to the franchise.
'Independence Day' was a pillar in absurd, but addictively enjoyable '90s action films. Randy Quaid is my hero.
An engaging, fun plot? Kathryn Bigelow behind the camera? And Patrick Swayze as the one and only, Bodhi? 'Point Break' is '90s action movies in a bottle.
From start to finish, 'Con Air' is probably the most action-packed '90s film that features a beautifully maniacal John Malkovich and a hilariously campy Nic Cage as Cameron Poe.
One of the best sequels ever to be created. 'Terminator 2: Judgement Day' is another testament to James Cameron's sequel skills.
'True Romance' may be unexpected, but its a great first screenwriting run from Quentin Tarantino and displays some awesome characters, specifically Gary Oldman as the creepy as hell Drexl Spivey.
'The Rock' is hands down the best action film of the '90s. Michael Bay made a popcorn flick masterpiece with this film. Green Flares!
