First Look At The Magnificent Seven

The first official pics from ‘The Magnificent Seven’ are online, see below.  With a script written by John Lee Hancock and Nic Pizzolatto, the new version of The Magnificent Seven kicks off when a woman (Haley Bennett) hires a disparate group of gunslingers to protect her town from rampaging varmants.

Maybe the best news about this though is that Antoine Fuqua is directing.  I think that guy has quite a successful track records of putting real gritty manly movies to screen.  Good director.

The original movie starred starred Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson andRobert Vaughn, now that was some heavy fuckin’ firepower right there.  So Fuqua is going to have his work cut out for him.  Good to see a bunch of westerns coming out of the woodwork though.

Let’s get a renaissance going.
