Yesterday, I saw a couple of more items about the possible 7 remake. One claimed that Kevin Costner and Morgan Freeman were in talks to be in the cast.
At least Horst Buchholz won't be in it. That's one thing in any remake's favor.
from what I have heard, Cruise is set to play the Yul Brynner part (Chris) and Damon the Steve McQueen role (Vin). I have the Magnificent Seven series on DVD and on the "Special Editio DVD" there is... more

whatever.... I just can't see a remake of MAGNIFICENT SEVEN.... Even the TV series was kinda funky to me.... Guess I'm not old fashioned, just OLD! LOL Did you attend Winter Range this year? I miss... more
