Tom Cruise Saddles Up For A Remake Of THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN!!
The Kidd here...
This doesn't appear to be happening anytime soon, but Tom Cruise is now attached to a remake of THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN for MGM, who is quickly turning into a remake factory after settling their financial problems. According to Variety, there's no director or writer set up just yet, which means only the idea for remaking John Sturges' classic exists for now... and who knows when something might come together... but it is in the pipeline.
Cruise is involved with a lot of projects right now that there's no telling where THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN falls in the pecking order. He's got the Jack Reacher series, another MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE at some point, VAN HELSING, the Les Grossman flick, the TOP GUN sequel and ALL YOU NEED IS KILL, not to mention OBLIVION which he's currently shooting. That's a lot of films, some of which will continue on without Cruise... but will one of them be THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN? At some point THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN will get redone... it's just a matter of whether it'll involve Cruise or not. So would you rather it be in his hands or someone else's?
Let's remember that THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN is in and of itself a remake of Kurosawa's SEVEN SAMURAI, so it's hard to rail on this being another remake... but it is a classic, and that's a little bit harder pill to swallow.
Could a retelling of THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN work with an updated cast, sort of how OCEAN'S ELEVEN worked (different format, same idea)? Sure. It's just a matter of if Cruise is the right guy to front it.

This will be a western right?

Or to put it another way: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because then I will actually need to jump from this ledge. I think I will need to research both the Magnificent Seven & Seven Samauri tonight. Just so I can keep my mind pure and unpolluted in defense against this remake.

Kurisawa made The Seven Samurai out of his love of westerns
by impossibledreamers
So, its a cycle. And there a number of good John Wayne movies they could try too if they're rehashing (Rio Bravo, Rio Lobo, Sons of Katie Elder etc.)
-
Mark my words, naysayers.
-
He can actually play a cowboy. Get Selleck, Keith Carradine, Dennis Quaid, a few others... This would be an interesting project if someone like Kasdan would get involved to write and maybe direct. But Cruise needs help to pull this off.
-
I hate this idea, just like I hate the idea of him as Reacher as much as I do the idea of him doing the Magnificent 7 remake. The man's got a family of dead doll eyed wives and daughters and possibly aliens to feed at home so I can't be too harsh on him trying to secure a day's work.

It won't be like Mission Impossible where everyone works around Ethan Hunt. He'll need to be able to work with a Clooney, a Pitt, a Daemon, and Willis.

You want to see a movie about a load of dudes that save a town full of just dudes? ok, man.
-
In whatever incarnation. The guys running it now are beyond lame and creatively bankrupt. They should be making toilet paper.
-
He's going to be using one of those Minority Report jetpacks to accomplish it, isn't he? That's going to look awfully anachronistic unless they're going the 'Wild Wild West' route.
-
The thing is that the cast of the Magnificent Seven weren't A listers at the time. Brynner was the Big Star, the rest were up and coming actors who had TV and minor film roles up to that point. It was this movie that got them noticed and led to the bigger roles and superstardom.
-
*bump* *bump* *bump* *Ba-bump* *bump* *bump* *bump* *Ba-bump* The original Magnificent Seven is untouchable, it has a bunch of great little moments that will never be replicated (I'm thinking when Yul Brenner turn to McQueen to get his opinion an he shakes his hand because he's unsure). That being said, If this is done right, it could actually be a lot of fun, so I say go for it.

by Talkbacker with no name
He has been in quite a few ensemble A list casts. Magnolia, Lions for Lambs, The Firm, Interview with the Vampire, A Few Good Men and most recently Rock of Ages. From all accounts he's one of the easiest people in hollywood to work with. Where'd you get your information from huh? You think that you can front when revelation comes?

I agree. At the Mountains of Madness needs to be made.
-
Come on, the original wasn't just fluff and music. Steve, the king of cool was in it, Yul Brynner at his peak, Eli Wallach as the villain?? perfect cast, perfect story, perfect score. While I appreciate some of the things Tom Cruise has done, he should leave this alone. I agree with the_malese_vulcan

You can´t beat that remake.

then Cruise is the perfect fit. Even better if they've abandoned lollipop making for fudge packing. In which case I smell Oscars for all.

by Wcwlkr
With that being said I really like Tom Cruise's movies, he's nuts, but he makes damn good movies. So I'd have more faith in him doing a remake of this awesome film as opposed to some others. Now are they going to make people expendable is the question. Are the characters going to bite it as in the original Mag 7
-
Actually, there's a breeder farm in the San Fernando valley that breeds horses specifically for pint-sized actors like Tom Cruise. They're not dwarf/midget horses as that particular breed obviously looks compact. The fuzzy heads and quick movements betray their tiny aspects quite readily. People can't see the tiny Tom Cruise on a circus mini-horse and expect to believe he's at all serious as a "cowboy". People need to think that really tiny movie stars are actually huge and big, standing upwards of 2 meters tall and barely able to fit through the average doorway. The horses are between 4 to 5 feet in height but yet retain their cousin's normally sized dimensions. You've seen them before in a number of movies..one of the actors in Young Guns was so slight that they had been considering green screening him...but then they found that horse farm and brought in a tiny horse...a few forced perspective scenes later and our tiny heroes are larger than life, barely able to fit on the giant screens. It's one thing to make a wire and molded clay puppet move on camera...another entirely to make a human being barely bigger than a shoebox appear as a giant, impossibly huge mountain of a human being on the screen. F/x artists never get enough credit.

Maybe Cruise will play the part he's most suited for...
by carlotta_valdes
...the Robert Vaughn character. "I have the most stylish corner of the filthy storeroom out back. That an a plate of beannnssss...ten dollars a day."
-
...regarding the kind of actors from films like Mag 7 an Dirty Dozen vs what we have today. There are no Lee Marvins, Bronsons, Jim Browns, Cassavetes, McQueens, Coburns, Ryans, Clint Walkers, Savalas' today. Many of these guys fought in real wars (actually shot at) AND could act. There is no modern equivalent to their onscreen authenticity. Any attempt to replicate what those films were in the modern era is laughable. Lee Marvin would piss on a Stallone an he'd explode. Just don't call it the Magnificent 7 please...that's too big a lie even for hollywood.
-
The story has been told a few times since Samurai. But it's a fun story, so I don't mind Tom producing another version of it. If it's a straight-up Western, I sure hope he doesn't cast himself. At least, not as the lead. I also hope they keep it character-based and not "lets see how many things we can blow up" based.
-
is the only reason this is even happening.
-
it'll work if it's a mob gang trying to defend a boss in exchange for territory, or if it's bad cops/swat team defending a boss or key witness in exchange for not ratting them out. I only hope it's not a western and leave mark whalberg the fuck out of it...

Lee Child addressed the Cruise casting of Jack Reacher a while back..
by openthepodbaydoorshal
"I wasn't surprised [by Cruise's casting] because this was on the cards for a very long time... we've been dealing with his people for six years." "Obviously, Tom Cruise doesn't match the physical description of Reacher in the books... but the movie is not going to match the book anyway. More than that though, which actor does match Reacher physically?" He doesn't seem a bit fazed by the choice, in fact he's goes on to call Cruise one of the best actors currently working. So, what's the problem again?
-
Cause you know it's gotta be percolating in some suit&tieguy's tiny mellon shaped head out in movie-land somewhere. We're getting a Poltergeist remake right? I wonder if the new BR movie is Scott's way of trying to make sure weaker sequels don't inevitably come down the path? Or worse, unwatchable offshoots like the AvP series? Is it possible to remake these classic movies and have the end result be good...or even great? Of course. But, seriously, what do you think the odds are? How many cover songs are actually better than the original? They do exist...but not many. Now, how many suck compared to the original? They number in the millions, if not billions (any local bar/pub will likely have terrible cover songs aplenty every weekend night) I even wonder if Scott himself might not be able to create and present an end result that is akin to BR in any genuine way. Have you ever tried to recreate something you created years earlier? It's all but impossible...the process itself gets in the way of any pure attempt to recapture the inspiration that drove the original...even the greatest talents would have trouble doing this successfully. But I wonder what stands between us and a Jaws remake? Is it the beard? Does he own the rights? The studios? Production? Or is it an unspoken agreement that no one will ever touch it? No one would ever go there? Precedent then? That's it? None of this is very reassuring you know...
-
I look at the people involved in the originals (Japanese and American) and then look at Cruise and, oh yeah, one big joke, to be sure.

"original" Magnificent Seven as a remake; if anyone should touch this, it should be Kevin Costner directing
by C Magna
While the "original" Magnificent Seven was a remake of Seven Samurai, it was a very clear love letter to Kurasawa's film, and treated it with respect by not trying to change what wasn't broken. I once watched the two at the same time, alternating about 45 minutes of SS with 30 minutes of MS. MS literally lifted dialogue verbatim from SS, and in many cases even the exact shot framing. No one debates that SS was a brilliant film. MS, in copying SS, was able to keep the characters, story, and pacing close enough to SS that it captured the essence of the film, and drew the viewer in enough to care about the characters. I only hope that "remaking" MS doesn't mean rebooting and "updating"--we don't need shaky-cams, we don't need a hard rock soundtrack. MS is a western, which John Ford always said meant you know where the horizon is and let the landscape be a character of its own. This dictates a certain pace of film which is rarely seen in Hollywood films these days. While I don't think we need a MS remake (weren't the sequels enough of that already?), I do have a crazy idea if they plan to go through with it. Regardless Tom Cruise's involvement, I'd suggest getting Kevin Costner behind the camera (potentially in front of it as well--he's certainly played enough cowboys before). The first half hour of "Open Range," it could be argued, very little happens, but Costner allows the landscape to set the tone and be an extra character. By the end of the film, you get plenty of solid, well-filmed, briskly edited action, and characters you're invested in. Just like the Avengers, the action means more because of the characters. The only other possible director I'd nominate would be Eastwood, but I think he's done with westerns.

You talkbackers fail at casting this Magnificent Seven preboot-i-magining franchise $$$$ opportunity
by lv_426
Obviously the most qualified cast would be: Michael Fassbender Tom Hardy Benedict Cumberpatch That French guy from The Artist Jason Stathem Bruce Willis The Rock (as a bad ass Indian that knows martial arts) Directed by: John Woo (action scenes), Sir Ridley Scott, and M. Night Shyamalan (the twist -- they're all robots in WestWorld [there will of course be a cameo by Josh Brolin], as well as Peter Dinklage as a medieval dwarf robot when the Magnificent Seven break into MedievalWorld) Produced by: JJ Abrams and Christopher Nolan Written by: Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, and Charlie Kaufman
-
Then these are your Seven.. Dwayne Johnson (Brynner) Cruise (McQueen), Keifer Sutherland (Coburn), Garcia Bernal (Chico/Bucholz), Vince Vaughn (Robert Vaughn), Andrew Lincoln(Harry Luck) and in the Bronson role I would put Colin Farrell. Johnson would retain the "unusual" quality that made Chris a leader. Cruise would be a better Vin and Sutherland would be a good nod fans of the Young Guns movies while still being the closest Hollywood has to Coburn. Despite the irony of surnames, Lee and Vince Vaughn seem tailormade for each other, looking to lie low and keep out of trouble but biting off more than he expected. and Colin Farrell could pull of the slightly crazed Bronson character.

by Jay
If they can remake the Seven Samurai (you know, one of the greatest films of all time) and none of you bitch about it. Than I'm sure you can handle a remake of the Magnificent Seven. It's not like it hasn't been adapted in countless forms already. It's ironic you complain about the current state of films while championing a decade that did the exact same thing.

Mach 7 On a future terraformed Mars, a remote town is being harassed by genetically engineered giant mutant men, forcing them to hire a group of seven cocky mercenary fighter/mech pilots to defend the town from the giants.

@bantuwind, name a recent remake with one tenth the artistry, conviction, talent, thoughtfulness, and sheer entertainment value as Magnificent 7
by kevred
That's the problem with today's remake culture. It's just a shortcut cash grab. Nothing today is made with the sheer magnificence of, say, Heston's Ben Hur or the Mag 7. If Hollywood could assemble and focus the kind of talent and conviction that characterized the classic remakes/reimaginings of the 50s and 60s, and even some of the 70s, it'd be something. As it is, there's a dearth of ambition that results in forgettable, thin junk. There are remakes that are tributes and love letters, and remakes that are petty larceny.
-
...please do not let Tom Cruise star in this unless he is the antagonist/nemesis/horrible c**t. Now that would make this a more interesting prospect.
-
and prop him in the back of every scene with Tom Cruise just to piss of Yul (I mean Tom). Otherwise leave the movie alone.
-
He could sell tough on screen, but in real life he got his ass kicked by Roger Moore on the set of, I think, "Shout At the Devil." Unless anyone wants to claim that Roger Moore was the epitome of tough guy, give it a break.
-
...on one of the Bond dvd's, a stuntman says that Roger Moore had the hardest punch he'd ever been hit with. And considering Marvin's alcohol consumption at the time, it doesn't surprise me. But who knows, maybe Moore was a tough guy. I remember reading that Rod Taylor once decked JIm Brown and still find that hard to believe. Oh, and for the talkbacker above, they did remake the Sons of Katie elder as Four Brothers.
-
Rod Taylor was an amateur boxing champion. The fight took place at the Playboy mansion. I've yet to locate an eyewitness account, but it may have been motivated by Brown's aggression toward a Bunny. He was kinda known for that. I'm not suggesting that Roger Moore was soft. In The Saint, he had several topless scenes, and he was very well built. But suggesting that Lee Marvin was tough beyond the dreams of current stars only makes sense if one also thinks Moore was beyond them. It makes more sense to me to assume that Lee Marvin was a great movie tough guy, but not some exemplar. Stallone, for instance, would have creamed him, I'm willing to bet.
-
This concept is built for taking into another area completely. Not to be remade as another western. Like Yojimbo you can take the basic concept and use it in another genre and have your own fun with it. Making another western is a real lack of imagination. As for Cruise being involved, he takes me out of films. Every time he's in something I just think it's Tom Cruise acting and never the character.
-
...and in fact I doubt I would put any money on Marvin in your scenario. And considering how modern stars train(look at Cruise for instance) I would put quite a few up there as tough, at least as far as hand to hand fighting. Don't think there are too many that would walk away from a hollywood career to fight in a war(which many did and is a whole other kkind of toughness). As far as this movie goes, I'm torn. I love to see westerns on the big screen but wish it were something original, or at least something that wasn't quite so iconic(like Duel at Diablo, one of my favorite titles). But ya know what? I'll take what I can get. I read reviews, if it sounds like it sucks, it doesn't get my money. If not, I'm there.
-
My favorite film...I wouldnt mind seeing it remade justso a new generation coould discover the original. Interesting note is you only see yulss dome in one scene. ? Del toro as calveera....
-
not just hell no but fucking hell no. Tom Cruise fucking blows and would completely ruin this movie. Im not against a remake but with Tom Cruise starring in it just fucking no man.
-
I think you might be right about walking away to fight in a war...right now. The culture has changed massively, and there is no longer an expectation that all healthy men will fight. The wars have changed...but I suspect that if the culture was different, many of them would indeed do as so many fine actors did during WW2. I really don't think the national character has devolved.

He gets killed by Emilio Estevez. Not many people know that.

The idea of putting Louis CK in a western is brilliant. I can picture him with brown teeth a mouth full of chewing tobacco and drunk on whisky in an old saloon.

Ya know, I went and looked a Cruise's IMDb page the other day...
by Jaka
...and I was surprised by a few things. <p> First, he hasn't done NEARLY as many films as I thought he'd done. Only around thirty since 1981 that have already been released. For some reason I thought it would be more than that. <p> Second, A LOT of them are very high profile films that were largely considered good and/or successful. <p> Lastly, considering I'm not really a Tom Cruise fan (I've never gone to a see a movie because he was in it), I realized that I actually like quite a few of them. He'll never be a favorite, but the guy has been in a lot of films that are enjoyable to watch. <p> That being said, no need for him to be in The Magnificent Seven, because there's no need for a remake (of a remake) to be made. I realize it will probably get made anyway. But Far & Away, the only movie he's made that comes close to looking like a Western, is the movie he looked most out of place in (to my eyes, anyway).

Tom Cruise is a cunt for gays, he has no business making or remaking films about with red-blooded men boiling with real testosterone, stick to the gay films that's all you're good at

The thought of Cruise in this just made me reboot a little in my mouth
by Shankapotomus
Seriously! What part can he play? Yul's role? Certainly not McQueen - that would be an afront to heterosexuals everywhere. Hopefully, he'll just produce and not totally F this up.

I'm personally boycotting this film and will watch the original again instead
by Joe Plumber
The original is perfection and a masterpiece. The only character Cruise could pull off is the cowardly pretty boy character played by Robert Vaughn. There are no modern equivalents of the likes of McQueen, Bronson, Coburn and Brynner.
