The Weinstein Co. and Japan’s Kurosawa Productions report that Brit director Scott Mann ("the Tournament") will helm a contemporary remake of director Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 Japanese 1954 adventure feature "Seven Samurai", from a screenplay by John Fusco ("Young Guns").
The action will reportedly shift from medieval Japan to present day Northern Thailand following seven paramilitary contractors who try and protect a peasant village from attack.
"Seven Samurai" previously inspired director John Sturges' 1960 ensemble western "The Magnificent Seven".
