"Cowboys, Ted! They're a bunch of cowboys!"
While
Father Liam Deliverance may have been talking about the shoddy workmanship in the Craggy Island parochial house, we're borrowing his legendary line to describe the cracking cast of the brand new remake of the 1960 cowboy classic,
The Magnificent Seven.
You may have grown up watching Steve McQueen, Yul Brynner and their posse of pals kicking some badguy bandito butt, but now Antoine Fuqua's new-look version of
The Magnificent Seven is hitting the big screen in the latest adaptation of Akira Kurosawa's seminal Seven Samurai.
The film shoots its way into Irish cinemas on Friday 23 September and you may (or may not) be sitting there wondering just who the heck these new gun-slinging guys are, seven strangers fighting as one.
Wonder no more though, because here's a really handy guide to
The Magnificent Seven...
