I love the cast they assembled, really hope the script is strong. 

One site said they start filming May 18, which probably changed if they're still casting...

Is this a straight up remake or is the setting different ?

From the description, it looks to be a straight up western remake, but I imagine there will be some differences.

I think the period is basically the same but the individual characters will be different. It's not a 1-for-1 remake.

Honestly he's not one of the actors I was excited for so I'm cool with him departing. Just hope they cast someone else quickly, if this was really already supposed to start filming.

Oh This Movie Is Happening. Calling It

They should make this as a kids movie where a group of bugs help a colony of ants fight grasshoppers

[CoolioD1]

I agree. they need to change it up a bit, we've already seen the cowboy version of this story. make it about samurais this time.

No no no, they should make it as a samurai movie where some ronin help some villagers.

No no no, they need to make it about a government agent who recruits a team of people with special abilities to defend against an alien marauder

Haven't they tried to get this shit off the ground since like 2002? It's not fucking happening.

It is happening though. Very soon, even.
