Tom Cruise in...The Magnificent Seven

[Doctor Jones]

He's playing one in a film he's just attached himself too. Gonna be awesome.

 

[dude stannis]

That one with Mickey Rourke?

 

[Doctor Jones]

The one with Juno Temple.

 

[dude stannis]

Same difference.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I like the Joseph Gordon Levitt pick especially. I can't remember the character's name in the Magnificent Seven but JGL would be great as the young cocky kid from that film.

Chico. That would be an inspired casting choice, actually.

 

[The Morningstar]

Nic Cage as the villain would be... AHHHHHHHHHHH!

 

[Daniel Thompson]

Loving the Nic Cage love. Usually people hate on Nic Cage.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

I'll always love Nic Cage, even when I hate his films.

 

[The Morningstar]

People who hate Nic Cage should be hated. Even when he's terrible, he's awesome.

 

[Raiden]

People who hate Nic Cage should be hated. Even when he's terrible, he's awesome.

I think that's because Nic Cage always act with a relish, like he knew how awful it is but he doesn't care or give a damn. Just check out his movie Drive Angry and see how he screwed the scenes up like a fat man at an all-you-can-eat buffet.

 

[The Morningstar]

haha exactly. I'd rather watch a terrible, insane Cage performance that most actors serious performances.

 

[terry78]

He's scrapin' at the door.

" ... That's high praise. And now off to my next adventure ... I'm gonna steal the lost city of Atlantis."

He's scrapin' at the door.

"How am I NOT in this movie!"

 

[The Morningstar]

 

[Daniel Thompson]

Haha his acting is so bad at times its good at sametime.

I rewatched Kurosawa's Seven Samurai yesterday. So eff this.

 

[Rowsdower!]

I'm liking this idea. The original is a classic and thus a remake might put Westerns back on the map a little bit more in Hollywood. And if you don't like Cruise in (probably) the Yul Brenner role, then watch Guns of the Magnificent Seven with George Kennedy. If you can make it through a half hour of that movie without gouging your eyes out at the awfulness, you'll probably warm up to Cruise a lot more.

 

[Daniel Thompson]

Thats of course if this is a western flick.

 

[Rowsdower!]

True, true. But if it isn't, then it might just feel like The Expendables with (presumably) better acting.

 

[Daniel Thompson]

Nothing wrong with that at all.

 

[Rowsdower!]

Yeah, it could be okay, but it also would probably feel kinda played out. Westerns are few and far between these days, so a big budget western with Cruise and what will hopefully be an all-star cast could be awesome.

 

[cherokeesam]

I could see a modern version of the story become political and topical if they still set it in Mexico, but in 2012, with the bandit leader becoming a cartel boss. Not sure if even that, though, wouldn't have a been there, done that feel.

Hey if the action is good and characters badass I be sold.

 

[Pink Ranger]

I'd be interested in seeing a female gunslinger as part of the 7. In all incarnations of the M7, they've never had a woman member.
