Ethan Hawke And Denzel Washington Reteam On ‘Magnificent Seven’

[Big Boss]

It’s been over a decade since Ethan Hawke, Denzel Washington and director Antoine Fuqua patrolled the mean streets of Los Angeles in “Training Day” and it looks like that team is looking to head to the wild west for their next collaboration.

Sources say the Oscar-nominated Hawke is in final negotiations to join Washington in MGM’s “Magnificent Seven” remake with Fuqua directing.

Chris Pratt and Haley Bennett are also on board to star.

The 1960 original, itself a remake of Akira Kurosawa’s “Seven Samurai,” starred Yul Brynner and Steve McQueen. It centered on seven gunslingers who protect an oppressed Mexican village from a group of outlaws.

The script was most recently reworked by John Lee Hancock, with “True Detective” creator Nic Pizzolatto writing the previous draft.

MGM is hoping the pairing of Hawke with Washington leads to the same success the two saw on their crime drama, which overperformed at the box office and led to both men receiving Oscar nominations with Washington eventually taking home the prize.

Hawke is coming off his Oscar nominated role in “Boyhood” and has several upcoming projects that include Andrew Niccol’s “Good Kill” and the docu he directed, “Seymour: An Introduction.” He is repped by CAA.

It's incredible the career Hawke has carved for himself, was never a fan but he deserves respect.They would put him in those Depp, pitt, cruise,mcconaughey conversations and dude could have easily rested on that and ended up a skeet ulrich but he put in the work.


Career seems to have had a 2nd wind

The cast they are building for this is starting to look interesting. Hopefully we could get a bit more mixed ethnic cast. Like I could see Michael Pena and maybe an Asian actor in there some where in one of the main roles.

you can one say that about a 30 year veteran that's been acting since his teens?

I got this title confused with tarantino's next flick "hateful eight".
This looks like it'll be dope tho.

 

[Roman Brady]

they need to get in a Mel Gibson and this shyt will start taking shape. As it stands the only magnificent one is denzel

I would prefer a better director for this (The Equalizer and Brooklyn's Finest were terrible), but maybe Fuqua can bring it this time.
