[Trailer here.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deSRpSn8Pyk) Looks like fun. With Denzel Washington in the Yul Brenner role.

Bad guy is some robber baron rich guy with a hired army rather than a gang of marauding bandits. There seems to me a conscious effort on the part of the producers to make a more culturally diverse team of heroes. And of course a hot chick thrown in for … some reason as the person who goes out and recruits Denzel in the first place.

I have hopes. I was really leery of a remake of the classic _True Grit_, but I was wrong. They did the original proud. I hope they can do as well with this film icon.

If we’re going in the direction of remaking classic westerns, I’d like to see another _Shane_ and another _The Outlaw Josey Wales,_ though again I’m hard pressed to think they can be improved.

You know what would be a bad assed original idea for a remake? (wait does that even make sense in english?)

Take a remake like this, add in some dreamlike states, and Make a remake that blends The Magnificent 7 with the movie that inspired it in the first place 7 Samurai. So you Remake both movies into one.

I am not really sure how it would work but it could be cool. This one looks like they might do a good job with it though.
