Denzel and Antoine Fuqua to ride with The Magnificent Seven

[Eddie Dean]

Ohh yeah.

 

[roach]

If they stick to the Mag 7 characters, I can see Hawk in the Charles Bronson role.

They don't. It's a whole nother group of characters

 

[Pink Ranger]

They don't. It's a whole nother group of characters

What I meant is that it's going to be roughly the same archetypes. You're going to have a stoic leader, a stone cold assassin, a naïve rookie, a nutcase; there's only so much variation in those characters.

I figure Hawke is more of a James Coburn or Robert Vaughn type role. If we're sticking with Antoine Fuqua's buddies, the Bronson equivalent might be Gerard Butler or Wesley Snipes.

 

[StarLord]

Hawke and Denzel back together. Yesh pleash.

If Denzel is the leader, then it might be an interesting twist to make Hawk a close equivalent of the Brad Dexter role (or Shichiroji from 7 Samurai) as the one guy on the team who the leader has had long history working with.

Ethan Hawke and Denzel Washington Team for 'Magnificent Seven' Remake

Moose... When are you gonna get around to watching the Yul Brynner version?

 

[RockSP]

Worth checking out of is it one of Keenan Ivory Wayans' flops?

It's his first (and only good, IMO) movie. It's a satire of the 70's Blaxploitation movies. Black Dynamite is the bastard son of I'm Gonna Git You Sucka.

they did change some things up...some of the archetypes are there but reworked very well

Vincent D’Onofrio Eyed to Play Villain in ‘Magnificent Seven’ Remake (EXCLUSIVE)

Yeah, I like that. He has the same kind of sleazy charisma that Eli Wallach had.

‘American Sniper’ Actor Luke Grimes Joins ‘Magnificent Seven’ (EXCLUSIVE)

 

[gwynplaine]

Yeah, I like that. He has the same kind of sleazy charisma that Eli Wallach had.

Maybe, but he's not as good. Eli Wallach is or was on another level.

He should be good. From all I hear, he's amazing in Daredevil.

Wagner Moura Is One of ‘The Magnificent Seven’

https://***********/vincentdonofrio/status/587323812716408832

HEY FOLKS ! The reports I'm playing the baddy not true . I'm one of the #THEMAG7 a great role . V.

Wagner Moura Is One of ‘The Magnificent Seven’

https://***********/vincentdonofrio/status/587323812716408832

Another Brazilian making a splash in the States.

Why haven't we seen more? It's been (for a long time) Alice Braga and Rodrigo Santoro and now Moura.

 

[CaptainWagner]

Okay, using the original archetypes, my best guesses as to who will fill those roles would be:

Denzel Washington: Chris Adams
Ethan Hawke: Vin Tanner
Luke Grimes: Chico
Chris Pratt: Lee

I'm pretty suprised that D'onferio is one of the 7, but he'd be a good fit in the role of either Bernardo (the "gentle giant" archetype) or Harry (the selfish fortune-seeker). Either of those roles could alternativly go to Moura, unless he's one of the villains or townspeople.

As for Britt, I think Doug Jones would be an amazing fit for that role.

your archetypes are off...there are seven main characters but they are nothing like the original Magnificent Seven

I was just going by the discussion in here, it made it seem like they were sticking with the same archetypes.

The script I read had different archetypes. I can go back and list them here is people want. Off the top of my head I know there is a Bounty Hunter, a Gambler and a Native American

So Adam Beach? Or Wes Studi?

Because those are the only two Native American actors I can think of.

Johnny Depp or Adam Sandler.

 

[roach]

The main character/leader is a bounty hunter.
There's a gambler who is very much like Doc Holliday.
There's a gunfighter who is supposed to be the best.
There's a chinese martial artist...an ex railroad worker.
A young caballero or mexican outlaw
A grizzled mountain man with a dog
And navajo who may not be all there.
