The Magnificent Seven remake starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt is going to be a blast, if this trailer is anything to go by.
The Magnificent Seven, directed by Antoine Fuqua and also starring Ethan Hawke, Vincent D’Onofrio, Byung-Hun Lee, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Peter Sarsgård and Martin Sensmeier, is a remake of the classic 1960 Western by the same name. (Now watch it not be the most downvoted trailer in YouTube history.)
So far all we’d seen from the gunslinging spectacle was a few pictures and a teaser trailer, but now there’s a full-blown trailer! Check it out:
This honestly looks like it could be the Western we’ve been waiting for. There’ve been a lot of gritty Westerns recently including The Hateful Eight and True Grit, with comedies like The Ridiculous Six and Cowboys vs Aliens trying and failing to capture the brazen fun of the classics. Based on this trailer alone, The Magnificent Seven might just strike the right balance.

The movie will see the seven titular gunmen come together to defend a village from a horde of invaders. Haley Bennett stars as Emma Cullen, the woman who hired Denzel Washington’s Sam Chisholm to avenge her late husband. Matt Bomer, Vinnie Jones, and Cam Gigandet also star.
The score for the movie is composed by the late James Horner, who managed to complete his work on the film before he passed away last year.
