Chief Rick Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Not sure what to think about this... Maybe it could be as good as the original (I did like the new True Grit). Why can't they just make a new western based off one of Louis L'Amour's great/proven stories? Would love to see Jubal Sackett on the big screen.

Dantankerous Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 That's Denzel Washington. It'll be good. He don't make no bad movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugs Bonney SASS # 10171 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 It appears that movies are so expensive to make that they are afraid to make anything that isn't already a proven hit. So, rather than anything new we get remake after remake after remake. The new things are on TV Things like the Jessie Stone Series, The Sopranos and the made for TV movies.

Utah Bob #35998 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt are box office gold. Stick em on wa story that was a success already and you probably have a profit.The big Hollywood studios don't like to take risks these days.

Lead Monger Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Magnificent Seven is an American remake of Sevan Sameri . Woo! Copied a Japanese flick . Realy. I'm happy to see any new Western theme movie even if it's old. I hope it's better than Bone Tomahalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I'll go see it!! The only thing I didn't like about the original was Yul Brynner as Chris. I thought Yul was a good actor but not as a cowboy! The accent and shaved head, gimme a break! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Yul was a good actor but not as a cowboy! The accent and shaved head, gimme a break! He wasn't a cowboy. He was a gunman. And I'd be willing to bet there were all kinds of accents in the old west. But Yul certainly didn't fit our notion of a silver screen hero did he?

Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Speaking of remakes, I think they remade that movie about the brave good gunfighter or gunfighters who save the townies and the sodbusters, about a thousand times.... at least. Sometimes the outlaws were hired by the greedy cattle baron, sometimes not.....a few hundred movies each, I suppose..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trailrider #896 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I'll go see it!! The only thing I didn't like about the original was Yul Brynner as Chris. I thought Yul was a good actor but not as a cowboy! The accent and shaved head, gimme a break! Even though Brynner's accent had somewhat of a Russian flavor, if you recall, "Harry" called him a Cajun, and said, "You don't talk so good, but you always know what's going on!" If you look at the opening song from "Paint Your Wagon", the lyrics switch from one accent to another. The West was full of people from all over. So far as Brynner's shaved head is concerned. maybe "Chris" suffered from some disease as a child, resulting in permanent loss of his hair! I've read of that happening...somewhere.

Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Denzel W, Chris P. , Vince D.and Ethan H. doing a remake of Magnificent Seven, which is based off Kurasawa's Seven Samarai. Get me some popcorn. I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Sure does look politically correct. Because... No offense to the late Yul Brynner but I'd rather see Denzel as Chris!! I liked the TV series with Micheal Biehn as Chris the best! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0129695/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugs Bonney SASS # 10171 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I've watched "Seven Samurai" and if it hadn't been made into a western it would be a Japanese movie nobody ever heard of. The idea was great the movie, not so much. Magnificent Seven was, in my opinion, a much better film. Will the remake be better than the original? I'll have to see it to know, and I will! What makes it politically correct? I must admit that I'm not surprised that in the current atmosphere Chris is a black man but where is the woman who is really better than them all, who plays the gay cowboy and which one is transgender and doesn't know what outhouse to use??
