They're remaking everything lately. There's even a listing for "Coming to America" 2009 on IMDB... lets hope that's not a remake.

travesties galore.

they already kinda did that with The Magnificent Seven

Yeah, I can't really complain about this one. It'd be like complaining about a Body Snatchers remake, or a Hidden Fortress or Yojimbo remake to stick with the Kurosawa theme.

Just for funzies, lets think of all the movies that are remakes of Seven Samurai.

The Magnificent Seven
A Bug's Life
Three Amigos
Samurai 7
Battle Beyond the Stars

Lol this will be very nice movie http://smileydatabase.com/s/931.gif

Weinstein's "Seven Samurai" remake!

Weinsteins tap 'Samurai' director Scott Mann to helm remake of the 1954 original

British helmer Scott Mann has signed on to direct a remake of Akira Kurosawa classic "Seven Samurai" that the Weinstein Co. and Japan's Kurosawa Prods. are producing.

Pic, which has an estimated budget of $60 million, will be a contempo interpretation of the 1954 original, which inspired 1960 oater "The Magnificent Seven" and whose style has infused samurai pics all the way through Takashi Miike's "13 Assassins," currently in release.

In the "Seven Samurai" remake, a town in northern Thailand recruits seven paramilitary contractors from around the globe to defend it from attack.

Mann, who most recently helmed Robert Carlyle-Ving Rhames starrer "The Tournament" -- which gained cult status on both sides of the Pond -- will help TWC develop the screenplay. They hope to shoot later this year.

Scribe John Fusco ("The Forbidden Kingdom," "Young Guns") has been developing the project at TWC for 18 months.

Mann recently announced several projects in development under his Mann Made Films banner with U.K. producing partner James Edward Barker, including horror pic "Saint Mary's," with helmer Michael Bassett ("Silent Hill 3D") attached.
