Forget righteousness. The new trailer for Antoine Fuqua’s starry, bullet-holed remake of The Magnificent Seven arrived early Wednesday morning, ready to serve up a helping of revenge.
Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D’Onofrio, Byung-Hun Lee, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and Martin Sensmeier star in the film as the title seven avengers, with Peter Sarsgaard playing the villainous outlaw they’re out to kill (before he kills them first). As the trailer sets up, Washington’s Sam Chisolm is asked by a young woman (Haley Bennett, who also stars in this fall’s The Girl on a Train) if he’ll provide retribution to the evil Bartholomew Bogue (Sarsgaard), who previously rode into their town, burned a church, and shot her husband (Matt Bomer makes a brief appearance as the doomed spouse). Chisolm will, but he needs some help first. Enter the motley crew of ne’er-do-wells to lend support, including Pratt’s gambler and Hawke’s Civil War veteran.
“These guys are gunslingers, and when they walk into the room, you notice them,” Fuqua told USA Today on Tuesday when first-look photos of The Magnificent Seven were released. “These are people you want to be with, or you want to protect you.”
A remake of the classic 1960 Western starring Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen (itself based on 1954’s Seven Samurai), Magnificent Seven rides into theaters on Sept. 23.
D’Onofrio was good in Law and Order early seasons but I will miss this flick due to the line-up.
Too bad they couldn’t cast DT in there:-)
I don’t care WHO they have in the cast, they will never measure up to six of the original seven - Yul Brynner, Chas. Bronson, Robert Vaughan, Steve McQueen, Chas. Coburn, even Brad Dexter. Horst Bucholz?? Maybe.
There are some movies that should not be remade, and this is one of them.
Sounds more like the remake of BLAZING SADDLES than MAG 7.
Could not agree more.
LOL, they didn’t have fat cowboy heroes with orange skin back then.
The bad guys are all white men not Mexicans as in the original.
Mexicans? That would be too offensive. o.O
And I will bet you right now that one of the white guys is going to have to be queer.
You can't see hardly anything in the movies or television without them introducing some sort of queer sh*t into the script.
"Magnificent Seven" was an American remake of The Seven Samurai. (Great sword-fighting scenes)
“D’Onofrio was good in Law and Order early seasons but I will miss this flick due to the line-up.”
He also was fantastic as Kingpin in Daredevil on Netflix.
Amen!!
I get chills up and down my spine when I hear the Magnificent Seven musical theme by Elmer Bernstein.
Amen!!
and Amen!!!
I liked him better here.
I want to lite up a Marlboro.
