The Weinstein Company Plans Seven Samurai Remake

In case The Magnificent Seven and Barenaked Ladies' "One Week" don't contain enough Akira Kurosawa references for you, here comes another remake of the legendary Japanese filmmaker's classic film The Seven Samurai. British director Scott Mann is set to helm the $60 million project developed by scribe John Fusco (The Forbidden Kingdom, Young Guns) for The Weinstein Company. I'm excited! But why not just make the Movieline approved Red Steel adaptation instead? [Variety]
