		<description><![CDATA[The Weinsteins are remaking Akira Kurosawa&#8217;s &#8220;Seven Samurai&#8221;. Yes, that statement should give you shudders. The Weinsteins don&#8217;t exactly have a good track record of handling current Asian films, so why would anyone in their right mind give them the rights to a Kurosawa classic to remake? I know, I know, this thing has &#8220;travesty&#8221; written all over it. But consider this: John Sturges remade the film in 1960 with cowboys in &#8220;The Magnificent Seven&#8221;, and anyone who loves Westerns would be hardpressed to argue that it is NOT one of the best Westerns of all time. And now screenwriter John Fusco has talked about the &#8220;Seven Samurai&#8221; remake for the Weinsteins, and you know what? I could dig it.
Here&#8217;s what Fusco told Geeks of Doom:
“I would never be crazy enough to attempt to write a remake of one of the greatest films of all time&#8230; It is simply a re-imagining.&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[Remember a few months ago when the Weinsteins (pictured, left) announced that they were going to be putting close to $300 million into an &#8220;Asian fund&#8221; to make Asian-based movies with American and Asian stars? Well, they&#8217;ve now revealed two of their projects: &#8220;Shanghai&#8221; from &#8220;1408&#8243; director Mikael Hafstrom, and a remake of Akira Kurosawa&#8217;s &#8220;Seven Samurai&#8221; (pictured, below). Yes, a remake of the legendary master&#8217;s legendary movie. I shit you not. Read on for more details &#8212; if you dare.
Variety:
&#8220;Shanghai&#8221; will be directed by Mikael Hafstrom (&#8221;1408,&#8221; &#8220;Derailed&#8221;) from a script by Hossein Amini (&#8221;The Wings of the Dove&#8221;).
