Hi Magenta,
Yes, I'm pretty sure it was just for CALLAN; As far as I know, they didn't make an EQUALIZER movie.
I have a book chapter on this, but needs updated.
The EQUALIZER was made a movie.
I always have low expectations since movies don't do the books justice. The best TV series would likely result in a disappointing remake in a movie version. I'm glad that I was wrong.
I made the mistake of not taking up my brother's invitation to see The Book of Eli on the big screen. It was Denzel Washington's best up to that point. The theme was amazing. His personal input for a new script to contain Bible references turned it into something Hollywood big wigs did Not want in the theaters.
The same actor played the Equalizer in the movie.
Anyhow, I took my brother and friends to the EQUALIZER movie and was moved. That's all I'll say for now. I was able to identify with Denzel's interpretation of the character in a way that I just can't describe yet.
Everything from the direction to the martial art choreography was as if it was custom designed personally for me.
I think I know why, but that would take me way past my bedtime.
