Chris Pratt In Talks For ‘Magnificent Seven’ Remake
With the massive success of Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy and his upcoming role in Jurassic World, Chris Pratt is quite the popular commodity right now. Recently he was offered the role of Nathan Drake in the planned movie adaptation of the Uncharted video game series, but turned down the offer.
Now comes word that Pratt has entered into early negotiations to star in Magnificent Seven, MGM’s remake of the classic 1960 western directed by John Sturges and starring Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson, and Eli Wallach. If all works out Pratt would play a character named Farraday, and would join Denzel Washington on the cast.

‘The Equalizer’ Trailer: Denzel Washington Takes Down The Russian Mob In Record Time
Denzel Washington was one of the best things in Antoine Fuqua‘s Training Day, and the two are reuniting once more for an adaptation of The Equalizer, an 80’s TV show that follows a former special ops who redeems himself for his past sins by performing random acts of kindness for people in desperate need of help. And since this is a film from the guy who brought us Training Day and Olympus Has Fallen, Washington will help with severe brutality.
Sure it’s not completely original, but when Washington reteams with the director who helped him win an Academy Award, and see him pull off killer moves while timing himself, what more do you need?
Hit the jump to see the new trailer.

Denzel Washington Turned Down Role In ‘Fast & Furious 7’
The headline is no joke. Denzel Washington was offered a role in Fast & Furious 7 and its follow-up, but ended up turning it down. If this is the kind of talent that Universal is aiming for, the confirmed actor for the James Wan-directed film should be in or around the same tier. But don’t be surprised if it’s not.
Those who stuck around for the end of the Fast and Furious 6 (or Furious 6 as it was seen on its title card), saw that Jason Statham had killed a member of Dom Toretto’s crew and was seeking revenge on the rest for what they had done to his brother, Owen Shaw (Luke Evans), in the film.
