Thanks for sharing.

Not terribly excited based on the trailer. Feels like a Tarantino movie. Which means y'all will like it but I won't.

But these days, I am happy just to see that a Western is being made.

What a long way we are from "Seven Samurai"...

It all looks too green and too PC don't ya think?

Probably got one black man, one asian, one woman, one hispanic, one white man, one transgender, one gay.

You're forgetting the Native American who kills with bow and arrows.

It doesn't look for a second like a QT film. And with a director like Fuqua there ain't much hope that it will work for me.

Actually QTs westerns are not that good either.
Well, actually it's a mess. Mediocre genre directors like Fuqua and Mangold make westerns, and when great directors like QT or los Coens shoot one, it will be inevitable one of their weaker films.

Where are the reincarnations of Peckinpah and Leone?

[Groggy]

Why.

There's money to be made in a place like this.

We deal in profit margins, friend.

To make things worse, it's made by Sony, so any chance this of thing having a shred of creative integrity is out the window.

It's good they remade just the title: didn't even try to find lookalike faces of the original. It could have been called "Dirty Dozen" or "The Professionals" or "Seven Men Army" with nobody objectioning to it. Still looks like a not bad b-grade timewaster. I'll watch it.

"I feel like we're bonding." There's some great 19th Century dialog for you.

Why doesn't somebody make a Western where, at the beginning, a bunch of 21st Century men and women show up in their usual clothes, change into Western garb, and then go into a holodeck or something to act out the action?
