Seven Samurai is what The Magnificent Seven was based on. Kurosawa’s films are also based on Shakespeare’s plays in some instances; Ran on King Lear, Throne of Blood on Macbeth…
The last film I’ve seen was Star Trek on (Orange)Wednesday; bloody excellent, couldn’t believe how much fun it was. Never much of a fan of the cheesy original, and the various offshoots I never bothered with at all, but they’ve got a great cast who look like the originals could look when younger, and there’s a lot of humour in it. Before that Coraline in 3D, Monsters v Aliens in 3D, Fast and Furious, Bolt in 3D, and looking forward to Transformers, Terminator Salvation, Up, Ice Age 3D…
