Ethan Hawke Talks about The Magnificent Seven in New Interview
The Magnificent Seven is still on the way with a script partially by Nic Pizzolatto.
There is no indication that Nic Pizzolatto will have any projects this year. Next year will most likely be the time for True Detective season three. What is coming this year is a remake of The Magnificent Seven that will star an ensemble cast. One of the stars, Ethan Hawke, recently talked about the film.
Ethan Hawke spoke with Collider about his career, and eventually the topic turned to The Magnificent Seven. At one point the western remake had a script written by Nic Pizzolatto, but two other writers have had a crack at it since then. How much of Pizzolatto’s work is still intact is unclear, though two rewrites can change a lot.

Ethan Hawke talks about The Magnificent Seven for literally under two minutes. It was, according to a him, a very difficult and intense shoot and the weather did not help. He didn’t have much to add in terms of other production details or anything like that, unfortunately. The Magnificent Seven hasn’t yet hit maximum exposure yet. At this point it’s barely being promoted at all.
The interview focuses more on Ethan Hawke’s career as a whole, including his work in the Before trilogy directed by Richard Linklater. Hawke is rarely seen in major studio films, though his arthouse game has consistently been on point. The Magnificent Seven will be the exception to the rule.
