I never thought Weinstein of all people would buy into the "pre-sold" methodology of filmmaking/marketing. Sad day for us all. This just ruined my day.

I could care less. It's been remade so many times anyway, some of them even considered classics. It's a classic tale that can be told many times over in a different setting. Meh. I could care less.

The boys over there are going to hit a brick wall at some point and have to pack it in. A remake of Seven Samurai? Are there <b>no</b> original scripts left? I'm with everyone else, this is a stupid idea but to be honest, I don't really care either way. If it sucks - there's a very high probability of this - I'll just revert to the original. The sad part is that a load of people will probably go out to see this and never even realize that a (likely better) original even exists. TWC has a death wish.

I have the second criterion release and it's on my long list of films to watch. Just so I’m not as predictable as I might seem, I will say that I have NOT seen Seven Samurai.

Cocksuckers." To quote Greg: "I haven't even seen the original, so I don't care." To quote Sean: "It could be okay-- I guess we'll see." I say-- enough with the remakes. Half of the people today don;t even know what Seven Samurai is, and would probably not be in for a remake. It's a shame people refuse to just watch old movies. To quote Jay: “It’ll be shit.
