The movie was not an exact replica of "SEVEN SAMURAI" or the 1960 film, "THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN". Why on earth did Lombardo come close to dressing her as one, as shown in the images below?ĭespite these quibbles, I enjoyed "THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN". Emma Cullen is not a 19th century prostitute. They struck me as unnecessarily revealing for the wife-later-widow of a respected man from the late 19th century. But her costumes for the Emma Cullen character, proved to be a problem for me. Lombardo's costumes for each male character not only clicked with the time period - late 1870s - but also with each character. I found her costumes for the main male characters to be spot on. Why not portray Red Harvest from a region a bit closer to the movie's setting - like the Paitue, the Ute or the Pomo? I also had a problem with some of Merissa Lombardo's costume designs. The latter lived along the Southern Plains that stretched between Nebraska and Northern Texas. I wonder why screenwriters Nic Pizzolatto and Richard Wenk had portrayed the Red Harvest character as a Comanche. There were some aspects of the movie that I found questionable. But a relative of mine convinced me to give it a chance. I never really had any intention of seeing this new "THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN" in the movie theaters, considering my views of the 1960 film.

But knowing that the businessman would be determine to strike back with a bigger force, the seven riders set out to prepare the town's citizens for what might prove to be an ugly, minor war. *Red Harvest - an exiled Comanche warrior and youngest of the groupĬhisholm and his colleagues manage to rid Rose Creek of Bogue's men.

*Jack Horne, a religious mountain man/tracker *Vasquez - a Mexican outlaw who is also a wanted fugitive *Billy Rocks - an East Asian immigrant assassin with a talent for knives and Goodnight's close companion *Goodnight Robicheaux - a Confederate veteran and sharpshooter who is haunted by his past *Joshua Faraday - a gambler and explosives man who takes on the job to rid himself of debt Chisholm sets out to recruit a group of gunslingers who can help him battle the powerful businessman:

They come upon Union Army veteran and warrant officer Sam Chisholm, who initially declines their proposal, until he learns of Bogue's involvement. Matthew's wife, Emma Cullen, and her friend Teddy Q ride to the nearest town in search of someone who can help them. "THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN" - or this version - begins in 1879 when a corrupt industrialist named Bartholomew Bogue and his men besiege the mining town of Rose Creek, California and slaughters a group of locals led by Matthew Cullen, when they attempt to stand up to him and his attempt to coerce them into selling their land to him. I also feared that I would face the same in this latest adaptation, but with even less success. But there was something about it - the performances of the lead, if I must be honest - that I found somewhat off putting. The reason behind my leeriness is that I am not a fan of the 1960 film. But I was more than leery of this particular film. I have always been leery of remakes, even if some proved to be pretty damn good. Worse, the movie would not only be a remake of the Japanese film, but an even closer remake of the 1960 film that had re-staged the story as a Western.

The Western spawned a number of sequels such as Return of the Magnificent Seven, The Magnificent Seven Ride!, Guns of the Magnificent Seven and a short-lived TV series.When I first learned that there was to be another remake of the 1954 movie, "SEVEN SAMAURAI", I nearly groaned with displeasure. The movie itself was a remake of Akira Kurosawa's 1954 classic Seven Samurai. The original Western The Magnificent Seven was released in 1960, starring Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, Brad Dexter, James Coburn and Horst Buchholz as the seven gunmen, with Eli Wallach playing the villainous Calvera. The cast also includes Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, Luke Grimes, Jason Momoa, Wagner Moura and Byung-hun Lee, although no specific details were given regarding their characters. The actor will play the husband of Haley Bennett's character, the woman who hires seven mysterious gunmen to protect her town from a gang of bandits, lead by a nefarious robber baron. The cast of MGM's Western remake The Magnificent Seven continues to grow, with actor Matthew Bomer signing on. Matthew Bomer will play the husband of Haley Bennett's character, who hires seven gunmen to protect her village in The Magnificent Seven.
