Seven Samurai Remake

[bryant]

Oh, yay, the Weinsteins are investing money in Asian film…

“Titles slated for the fund include… a remake of Japanese director Akira Kurosawa’s 1950’s epic The Seven Samurai.”

What the hell?

Indeed. Transferring it to a different genre, well, that's kind of intriguing. But...

I dunno, maybe they'll turn it into a Hong Kong bullet ballet John Woo flick with a worthwhile director. Maybe I'm too pessimistic.
