When it comes to western films, the The Magnificent Seven from 1960 has become a timeless classic. Most of its actors have gone to become Hollywood legends, while the film’s score has become so iconic you’d be hard pressed to find anyone in the civilized world that would not recognize the memorable tune. The film was a remake of the highly regarded Japanese film Seven Samurai from 1954, and now it finds itself being remade as we are treated to the first teaser trailer for the new The Magnificent Seven.
The teaser trailer of director Antoine Fuqua’s modern vision of the classic story shows off its cast, including Denzel Washington, Josh Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D’Onofrio, Byung-Hun Lee, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, and Martin Sensmeier. With award-winning films like Training Day under his belt, we can’t wait to see how Fuqua will bring his unique vision to update this classic western. The Magnificent Seven opens in theaters 9/23/2016.
