Variety published a press release today in which U.S. pay-tv channel SHOWTIME and THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY announcing a newly signed deal. Since this is all business talk, I just quote the important part of the release, which kinda stunned me:
Other TWC/Dimension movies coming up for scheduling on Showtime include a modern remake of "Seven Samurai"; "All Good Things," with Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst; "The 6 Billion Dollar Man"; "Scream 4"; and "Piranha 3D."
Okay, that we could sooner or late expect a SCREAM sequel ain't that stunning. But a remake of AKIRA KUROSAWAS THE SEVEN SAMURAI which is without a doubt one of the top ten movies in movie-history, is BIG NEWS. Since not much is known about this project I can't write anything more about this. But as soon as I get new information on the remake, you'll find it here!
*UPDATE*
I did some research on that curious SEVEN SAMURAI REMAKE. So basically what I found out is that it's kinda old news. So sorry if you already knew it, I for sure didn't. The remake was already announced in August 2007 when THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY published a studio briefing annoucing an investment of $ 285 million in Asian-themed projects.
Status Quo is, that JOHN FUSCO will write the screenplay for the remake and probably direct the movie aswell. Fusco wrote the scripts for several known movies including YOUNG GUNS I & II, HIDALGO and the recent JET LI and JACKIE CHAN crossover FORGOTTEN KINGDOM.
