"Seven Samurai" will start shooting in the fourth quarter for release in 2009. The cast will feature American, European and Asian stars, and a director is in advanced talks with TWC.
I understand that American's dislike watching subtitled movies. And I understand that classic movie remakes are a Hollywood cash cow. It seem to me, though, that some movies are beyond that. Nobody can remake Citizen Kane, or Casablanca, and NOBODY can remake a Kurosawa movie. While Seven Samurai has been re-imagined and mined for inspiration dozens of time, it has avoided a direct remake so far. It looks like that has changed...

The only way that movie would be any good was if they cast Jessica Alba and called the movie "Snow White and the Seven Samurai"
I an totally with you TG. But nothing is sacred in Hollywood.
