The Magnificent Seven will ride again, and again. The iconic 1960 western directed by John Sturges has already spawned three sequels and even a TV series, but now it looks like it will be the latest iconic adventure to be fed into the remake machine.
If reports are to be believed, MGM are throwing a truckload of money at the movie, hiring a gaggle of A-list actors along the way. They have big boots to fill however, so join us on the casting couch as we try to imagine a modern day septuplet that will be every bit as magnificent as the originals.
Click through the pictures to meet the stars cast in The Magnificent Seven and our suggestions for the remaining roles.

The Magnificent Seven is an iconic film - IT DOESN'T NEED OR WANT A REMAKE!
NO WAY is Tom Cruise or Matt Damon gonna be as good as Yul Brynner or Steve McQueen!!!
Leave it as it is and stop trying to ruin something good
12/06/2012 19:20
Leave well alone, the original cast are what you call great Actors, and no matter who you put in the role, they could never live up to the legends....:-)
12/06/2012 16:00
Yul Brynner
Steve McQueen
Horst Bucholtz
Charles Bronson
Robert Vaughn
Brad Dexter
James Coburn
Nuff said
Forget the re-make
12/06/2012 15:45
The Magnificent Seven was itself a remake of the film The Seven Samurai. Having said that, who today, could replace any of the original brillient cast?
12/06/2012 18:59
tom cruise to play yul brynners part,,yeah right he will have to grow another 2 feet and stop super imposing pictures of his stuntmen and pretending its him for a start, one big headed midget with the personality of a knat,not in mr brynners league and never will be,
12/06/2012 15:40
Who the heck is Jack Colburn? Do you mean James Coburn?
12/06/2012 19:21
It's quite pathetic remaking films when there are original screen plays and books etc that are excellent and haven't been made into films yet.
Not a big fan of cruise myself and find the idea of him playing a role played by yul brynner similar to joe pasquale playing one of clint eastwoods cowboy roles.

Lol...who the heck is Jack Colburn...right on Thomas.
As good as the cast goes for the re-make of this film, and they are a top bunch, they will never better the original ! I mean Steve McQueen......come on !!
12/06/2012 15:52
Why try and re-make a classic?, remember the Italian Job, another great film ruined by someone in Hollywood who couldn't be arsed coming up with his own ideas
12/06/2012 18:30
One of the classic westerns. It will never be surpassed with a remake.
12/06/2012 17:35
Nobody can replace the old Magnificent Seven - stop making cheap re-runs of excellent films, just show us the originals, or try getting someone to write something new that is actually worthwhile. Nothing compares to the old box office classics. You may say you are throwing a truckload of money at a remake, but why - cant they think of something new.
12/06/2012 16:04
We dont need a re make of a TRUE CLSSIC WITH TRUE STARS IN THE OrIGINAL NO ONE can replace them no matter who they are as for Tom Cruise he will NEVER EVER be as good as Yul Brynner Leave well alone thats what in sY
12/06/2012 20:07
it'll never beat the first one.
12/06/2012 19:26
Even hollywood special effects wont be able to make the rocking horse Tom Cruise would have to ride look real.
12/06/2012 19:15
Who wrote this article? It's James Coburn, not jack Colburn, or James Colburn. Do the guy a favor and at least get his name correct.
Please get the clothing and leather work correct, none of those 'Hollywood' holsters hanging down to their knees!
Oh, and Vin Deisel would be better as Chris,,,,well, taller at least!

Shame on you!! It's James Coburn not Jack Colburn, and how shoddy is your research...........?
12/06/2012 18:00
Have a feeling this will be really awful like most remakes
12/06/2012 16:32
great film don't bother trying to better it.
12/06/2012 16:16
How lazy and arrogant are they in Hollywood to even think of remaking these classic films. Not one has been better or even as good as the original! Have Hollywood run out of talented original script writers? Maybe they should stop being so lazy and put some time, effort, and money into making some original films!!
