While he’s not starring in the film, the music of Eminem takes center stage in the latest trailer for Denzel Washington‘s “The Equalizer.” It minimizes the role of Chloe Grace Moretz in the adaptation of the 1980s action series, instead focusing entirely on just how tough Washington is.
This is based on an action television series, after all, and Washington has proved throughout his career that he can be one intimidating action star. Here he’s menacing, glowering, and intense in all the right ways.

Waging a one-man war on the Russian mob, Washington’s actions were perfectly complemented in the trailer by snippets from Eminem’s upcoming collaboration with Sia, “Guts Over Fear.”
The trailer was released through Eminem’s official YouTube channel. The track was written for the film, and will be available via iTunes on August 25.
