The Magnificent Seven (Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke) (9-23)

[MR.CJ]

It’s been over a decade since Ethan Hawke, Denzel Washington and director Antoine Fuqua patrolled the mean streets of Los Angeles in “Training Day” and it looks like that team is looking to head to the wild west for their next collaboration.

Sources say the Oscar-nominated Hawke is in final negotiations to join Washington in MGM’s “Magnificent Seven” remake with Fuqua directing.

Chris Pratt and Haley Bennett are also on board to star.

The 1960 original, itself a remake of Akira Kurosawa’s “Seven Samurai,” starred Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen. It centered on seven gunslingers who protect an oppressed Mexican village from a group of outlaws.

The script was most recently reworked by John Lee Hancock, with “True Detective” creator Nic Pizzolatto writing the previous draft.

MGM is hoping the pairing of Hawke with Washington leads to the same success the two saw on their crime drama, which overperformed at the box office and led to both men receiving Oscar nominations with Washington eventually taking home the prize.

Hawke is coming off his Oscar nominated role in “Boyhood” and has several upcoming projects that include Andrew Niccol’s “Good Kill” and the docu he directed, “Seymour: An Introduction.” He is repped by CAA.

So is this on a collision course with the Hateful 8?

So is this on a collision course with the Hateful 8?

Which is kinda weird considering that Hateful 8 is clearly influenced by Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Seven.

Seems like yet another Volcano/Dante's Peak and Deep Impact/Armageddon type of situation.

after watching Boyhood I gotta admit Ethan Hawke is an underrated actor. Dude does his thing on the screen

 

[Broddie]

Boyhood sucked but I always knew that Hawke was one of those child stars who grew into a pretty good actor. Before Sunrise solidified that for me back in the day.

Sony Pictures and MGM (via USA Today) have released the first official photos from the upcoming remake of The Magnificent Seven, which marks the third pairing of star Denzel Washington and director Antoine Fuqua after Training Day and The Equalizer. Check out the Magnificent Seven photos in the gallery below!

With the town of Rose Creek under the deadly control of industrialist Bartholomew Bogue (Peter Sarsgaard), the desperate townspeople employ protection from seven outlaws, bounty hunters, gamblers and hired guns – Sam Chisolm (Denzel Washington), Josh Farraday (Chris Pratt), Goodnight Robicheaux (Ethan Hawke), Jack Horne (Vincent D’Onofrio), Billy Rocks (Byung-Hun Lee), Vasquez (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), and Red Harvest (Martin Sensmeier). As they prepare the town for the violent showdown that they know is coming, these seven mercenaries find themselves fighting for more than money.

With a screenplay by “True Detective” scribe Nic Pizzolatto and The Equalizer‘s Richard Wenk, The Magnificent Seven also stars Haley Bennett, Matt Bomer, Billy Slaughter and Vinnie Jones in a remake of the 1960 film directed by John Sturges that itself was inspired by Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 classic Seven Samurai. Sturges’ version starred Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, James Coburn and Robert Vaughn as a group of disparate gunmen who come together to protect a Mexican village from bandits led by Eli Wallach.

The Magnificent Seven is slated to hit theaters on September 23, 2016.

Hope it has a long ass/bloody action scene ala 13 Assassins. Like an hour of greatness in that one.
