"What a bunch of misfits we are." Sony Pictures has unveiled the second official, full theatrical trailer for The Magnificent Seven, Antoine Fuqua's remake of the action western of the same name (which was originally a reinvention of Kurosawa's Seven Samurai). The new "seven" who come together to defend a town are: Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, Byung-Hun Lee, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo and Martin Sensmeier. The villain is played by Peter Sarsgaard; also featuring Haley Bennett, Vinnie Jones and Cam Gigandet. The first teaser trailer was actually pretty good, and this new trailer ups the ante with plenty of wild west action and sly glances from nearly the entire cast. I also dig the introductions to each of the new seven. Feels weird to say, but this doesn't look so bad. Fire this up!
Here's the new full theatrical trailer for Antoine Fuqua's The Magnificent Seven, from Sony's YouTube:
And here's an alternate international trailer of the new The Magnificent Seven trailer, also on YouTube:
You can still see the first teaser trailer for The Magnificent Seven here, to compare footage from these two.
With the small town of Rose Creek under the deadly control of industrialist Bartholomew Bogue (Peter Sarsgaard), the desperate townspeople employ protection from seven outlaws, bounty hunters, gamblers and hired guns - Sam Chisolm (Denzel Washington), Josh Farraday (Chris Pratt), Goodnight Robicheaux (Ethan Hawke), Jack Horne (Vincent D'Onofrio), Billy Rocks (Byung-Hun Lee), Vasquez (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo), and Red Harvest (Martin Sensmeier). As they prepare the town for the violent showdown that they know is coming, these seven mercenaries find themselves fighting for more than money. The Magnificent Seven (2016 version) is directed by Antoine Fuqua, of Training Day, King Arthur, Shooter, Brooklyn's Finest, The Equalizer and Southpaw previously. The screenplay is by John Lee Hancock & Nic Pizzolatto, remaking Akira Kurosawa's original Seven Samurai (which was also remade into 1960 in a western by John Sturges). Sony Pictures will release The Magnificent Seven in theaters starting September 23rd this fall.

The cast is amazing. Denzel Washington and D'Onofrio are two exceptional actors. But will the script be good enough to rival with the original? I hope so. Please, don't make a shot for shot remake.

I know exactly what you mean. But I am an anti-remakes guy, unless the remake fulfill the following conditions: 1- The original movie has a great concept but didn't age well or was poorly directed. 2- The remake brings something new and fresh to the table. The original Magnificent Seven still holds well, so I hope at least it will explore the mythology from a fresh perspective. Actors with this tremendous amount of charisma like McQueen, Yul Brynner, James Coburn, Eli Wallach, and charles Bronson are really missed. Henry Fonda, Robert Mitchum, Burt Lancaster, Lee Marvin, William Holden, Richard Widmark, Lee Van Cleef, Ernest Borgnine, Lee J. Cobb... We no longer make actors like those.

It looks promising except for that migraine-enduing trailer music which I hope was just a dumb decision to appear hip for sake of the trailer and no such noise will be present in the film.

That scene in Django Unchained... Can't understand Tarantino's inclusion of that song. Terrible.

I tried posting a youtube video of the scene, but it looks like it wasn't allowed. The song is called 100 Black Coffins by Rick Ross. Just doesn't fit. Plays while Django was on horseback with Candie's caravan.

Fair enough. I'm a huge fan of his, and that sequence completely turned me off. See you around.

Because they are trying to sound cool, to appeal this hip hoppy young generation. Shake your @ss baby! Rihanna is proud of you.

I love Western films and I will see this, but damn, my hopes are not very high.

Wasn't this going to be set in modern day Mexico vs the cartel? Can't help thinking that would have been more interesting.

You just read my thoughts. I can not but agree with you ...

I can pretty much watch Denzel in anything and I do like Pratt, D'Onofrio and Sarsgaard so I guess I'm in.

This is going to be a real mindless fun. I have no expectations for anything else. And I hope that mr. A. Kurosawa sleeps very deeply and is not seeing this; wherever he is in his otherworldly existence ...

I'm so tired of hearing songs in situations where they shouldn't be. Referring to the second trailer.

Dig the cast. I'm sure it'll be a fun watch, but ultimately forgettable.

None better than Denzel, but he looks a little frumpy in this. Fire the wardrobe guy.
