SEVEN SAMURAI first got the Hollywood treatment in 1960 when John Sturges remade the picture as a Western, THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN with an all-star cast, including Yul Brynner, Eli Wallach, Steve McQueen and Charles Bronson.
Miramax Films and MGM will co-produce a contemporary retelling of Akira Kurosawa's classic saga of dueling Japanese warlords, THE SEVEN SAMURAI. One of the Japanese auteur's most influential films.
