The Magnificent Seven is one of the few successful relocations of a foreign classic (along with The Man Who Knew Too Much, 12 Monkeys, and The Departed), and a rare example of Hollywood taking something great and not making it worse. Seven Samurai is one of the true classics of action cinema.

The Magnificent Seven is a 2016 American Western action film directed by Antoine Fuqua, and written by Nic Pizzolatto and Richard Wenk. It is a remake of the 1960 film of the same name, which itself was a remake of Akira Kurosawa's 1954 film Seven Samurai.

Seven Samurai It is a skillful adaptation of Akira Kurosawa's “Seven Samurai” (1954), an epic adventure film set in 16th century Japan during a time of civil war. Vil- lagers hire samurai to protect them from the bandits who've been preying on neighboring farmers.

Is Magnificent 7 a sequel to Hateful 8? No, apart from being a western they are unrelated. That said, the title of Tarantino's film was some kind of homage or allusion to 'The Magnificent 7'.

While Brynner starred in Return of the Seven (1966), none of the original cast members appeared in the other sequels, Guns of the Magnificent Seven (1969) and The Magnificent Seven Ride! (1972). The movie also inspired a television series (1998–2000). In 2016 Denzel Washington starred in a remake of the first film.
