EXCLUSIVE: Saddle up! One of the great westerns is getting a remake.

Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood classic A Fistful Of Dollars is set for a movie remake from Euro Gang Entertainment, the company founded by Hollywood vet Gianni Nunnari (300) and Simon Horsman (Magazine Dreams), alongside Italian production vet Enzo Sisti (Ripley) of FPC, and Rome-based Jolly Film, which produced the original movie.

Hit western A Fistful of Dollars is the story of a wandering gunfighter with no name who plays two rival families against each other in a town torn apart by greed, pride, and revenge.

“ No guns so they’ll shame each other to death ?”

They will mis gender each other and use the wrong pronouns.

The remake of “The Magnificent Seven” was bad, really bad.

"Bad" is indeed listed as an antonym for "magnificent". I prefer "inferior".

Of course, it was weighed down with a DEI cast, late-career Denzel, and white capitalism as the bad guy. Hard to think it could have been good.

THAT was the nugget of information that made coming here today worthwhile.

I’ve had mixed feelings about Clint Eastwood ever since the ketchup on hot dogs comment. I put everything on my hot dog.

WTF is going to do the Eastwood role? It’ll be like Steve Martin trying to channel Peter Sellers on the Clouseau remake. A disaster.

Its’ already been remade a bunch of times in different settings, in different eras, and with different names.

I’m still waiting for a remake of 1978’s “The Wiz” but with an all-white cast. Now THAT would be different!

That was a flop even with an all-star cast.

I don’t think it even made back its production budget.............................

Let me guess. The protagonist is a black lesbian tranny.

One gang family are white supremacists keeping the bruthuhs down.

The other gang family are wealthy MAGA hat wearers ripping off the townsfolk with their high priced dry goods store.

Don’t forget handicapped and undocumented. Might want to throw in “talks with a lisp” as an incidental. Also, make all the “bad guys” dumb and white. And weak.
