The cast of Antoine Fuqua’s remake of The Magnificent Seven is nearly complete, with Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Luke Grimes, Wagner Moura, Byung-hun Lee and Vincent D’Onofrio as the titular septet, and the likes of Haley Bennett and Matt Bomer joining.
What’s been slightly more difficult is getting the bad guys, as while Jason Momoa was supposed to be one of them, he’s now out, but Deadline reports that Peter Sarsgaard is now in final talks to play the main villain in the movie.
In this new takes on the classic tale, seven gunslingers are hired by a young woman (Bennett), to protect a town and it’s nearby gold mine from a wild west villain (Sarsgaard) and his henchmen, who have killed the woman’s husband (Bomer).
The film shoots soon for a January 2017 release.
