On the other hand, one of the main bandits will be Peter Sarsgaard. In the beginning, former Game of Thrones star Jason Momoa was in talks for a role as Peter Sarsgaard's sidekick in the remake buteventually declined the offer.
It is said Momoa declined the role because they didn't give him enough things to do and say in the movie. Though, the production denied it. Rumors have it that Momoa might have declined the role offer because of his role as Justice League's Aquaman.
Other cast members are Haley Bennett and Matt Bomer, which will play as a married couple in the movie.
The plot of the new film will be the same as the old one. It is about a woman who asks help from a bounty hunter to to protect their town with the bandits. The bounty hunter then hire other six gunslingers to help him out. Despite the fact that this movie is a remake of a movie of the same title, the 1960s movie is also actually just a reboot from another movie: Akira Kurosawa's The Seven Samurai.
Filming of the remake started last May. With a cast line up as amazing as this, everyone's already excited how this will turn out. Magnificent Seven will hit the big screen on January 13, 2017.
