A Tribute to Denzel Washington

Those of us who have been watching Denzel Washington since the St. Elsewhere days can attest to this fact: he is a remarkable actor. His performances are powerful, intense, intelligent and extremely compelling. So he didn't bring home the Best Actor Oscar for his wonderful portrayals of Malcolm X and Hurricane Carter he got one instead for creating rogue cop Alonzo Harris in Training Day. And the honors, as well as the great acting, will keep coming. We expect nothing but great things from him and we know we won't be disappointed. We're going to honor him here with our glowing Destination Hollywood Tribute to Denzel Washington.

Coming Soon

Denzel Washington is re-teaming with director Tony Scott in a remake of the thriller The Taking of Pelham 123. Denzel Washington is the good guy and John Travolta the bad guy in this story of a hijacking of a New York City subway train. This will be the third remake - the most famous is the 1974 version (Taking of Pelham One Two Three) starring Walter Matthau and Robert Shaw. Expect this one in the Summer of 2009.
