Ethan Hawke in Talks to Join Denzel Washington in THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN Remake

Ethan Hawke ("Boyhood") is in negotiations to re-team with "Training Day" co-star Denzel Washington in director Antoine Fuqua's "The Magnificent Seven" remake. The MGM production will be an update of the 1960 western starring Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen and Charles Bronson. That film was also a remake of Akira Kurosawa's 1954 classic "Seven Samurai". The first draft of the remake's script has been penned by "True Detective" creator Nic Pizzolatto and John Lee Hancock ("Snow White and the Huntsman") was tasked with writing a new treatment. The film also stars Chris Pratt ("Guardians of the Galaxy") and Hailey Bennett ("The Equalizer"). No release date has been set, so far.

Drew Goddard to Write and Direct SPIDER-MAN Reboot

As we last reported, Sony and Marvel have joined hands to reboot the "Spider-Man" franchise after the failure of "The Amazing Spider-Man". And now we know who will be assigned this gigantic task. Drew Goddard, director/co-writer of "The Cabin in the Woods" as well as "World War Z" and "Cloverfield" scribe, has been hired to write and direct the new reboot. Goddard was previously set to direct Sony's "The Sinister Six", a spinoff for "The Amazing Spider-Man", but now that the series has been dropped, the fate of that movie is also in question.

According to various reports, the "Spider-Man" reboot will not be a new origin story and will start out with the superhero already established. The studio is currently looking for a fresh young actor for the part of a high-school Spider-Man who will grow up along with the franchise. It is also reported that the first film will involve Spider-Man fighting Iron Man and trying to join the Avengers, which would be similar to the Marvel comics. It will also introduce the Sinister Six which could lead to that spinoff movie Goddard was attached to before these current events. Marvel and Sony also plan to give Spidey supporting roles in other Marvel Cinematic Universe films, including "Captain America: Civil War", while MCU character are expected to appear in Spider-Man films.

The "Spider-Man" reboot is expected to be released on July 28th, 2017.
