Movie News: Action-Thriller "The Magnificent Seven" Launches FirstTrailer


Director Antoine Fuqua brings his modern vision to a classic story in Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures’ and Columbia Pictures’ “The Magnificent Seven” starring Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt and Ethan Hawke.  Watch the film's first trailer that has just been launched here at





With the sleepy town of Rose Creek under the deadly control of industrialist Bartholomew Bogue (Peter Sarsgaard), the desperate townspeople employ protection from seven outlaws, bounty hunters,
gamblers and hired guns – Sam Chisolm (Denzel Washington), Josh Farraday (Chris Pratt), Goodnight Robicheaux (Ethan Hawke), Jack Horne (Vincent D’Onofrio), Billy Rocks (Byung-Hun Lee), Vasquez (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), and Red Harvest (Martin Sensmeier). As they prepare the
town for the violent showdown that they know is coming, these seven mercenaries find themselves fighting for more than money.

Written by Nic Pizzolatto and Richard Wenk, “The Magnificent Seven” is produced by Roger Birnbaum and Todd Black, with executive producers Walter Mirish, Antonine Fuqua, Bruce Berman and Ben Waisbren.


For those of you who don't know, the film is actually a remake of the 1960's American Western "Majestic Seven" -which is of course a take on Akira Kurosawa's 1954 film "Seven Samurai".

I just love that they used "House of the Rising Sun" in the trailer, the classic 1964 hit from The Animals is given a new twist by The Heavy Young Heathens. 

Opening across the Philippines on Sept. 21“The Magnificent Seven” is distributed in the Philippines by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.
