1960 THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN western remake will film in New Mexico

The 1960 western THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN will be remade with Denzel Washington. It will film around the state of New Mexico. The New Mexico Film Office announced this news today. MGM owns the rights to the 1960 film that has gained cult status over the years. The studio was in early talks in 2014 with a remake & getting Denzel on board. It looks like another cool western is coming to "The Land of Enchantment."

Denzel & the rest of the cast have a lot to live up to because of the 1960 cast with Yul Brynner & Steve McQueen. Just my opinion, because back then, they were big movie stars.
