Magnificent Seven Remake gets a Writer and Director?
If you’re a fan of westerns, you have no doubt heard one of the few films in development by a major studio is a remake of the classic Magnificent Seven. The project suffered a bit of setback when Tom Cruise dropped out of the project, but it seems things are once again moving ahead. Screenwriter John Lee Hancock, whose previous films include Saving Mr. Banks and The Blind Side, has been hired to rewrite the script and it seems that Antoine Fuqua is currently in talks to direct the film. I’m not too sure about this pick. I liked Training Days, but I can’t say I've enjoyed any of his other films. Still nothing has been confirmed yet, so if you don’t like this idea I wouldn't get too worked up about it yet.
