Film: Flight.

Denzel Washington in a western? I'd buy that for a dollar! [RoboCop reference, in case you're wondering]



First Showing reports that the Flight star might reunite with Training Day director Antoine Fuqua for the upcoming Magnificent Seven remake. If the rumor is true, that film will be the powerful duo's third collaboration, following their latest movie, The Equalizer.



More details below:

"

The remake train keeps on plugging away for better or worse. We've heard that there was a gestating remake of the classic The Magnificent Seven, which in itself is a remake of Seven Samurai, and Tom Cruise was attached back in 2012. However, it sounds like the actor has since moved on, because The Equalizer director Antoine Fuqua has been mulling over an offer from MGM to direct the film. It's not clear if he's officially on board, but Schmoes Know reports that he's already taken the job, and he's already trying to get Denzel Washington on board to lead. It makes sense following their work on Training Day and The Equalizer.
