Hollywood is constantly re-making the Seven Samurai.

Besides The Magnificent Seven (and it's many sequels and TV spin offs)

There was:

Battle Beyond The Stars -- Screenplay by John Sayles and starring, among others, Robert Vaughan who was also in Magnificent 7.

A Bug's Life -- This is essentially 7 Samurai Disney/Pixar style.

No doubt someone is working on yet another remake right now.

Kurosawa was a fanatic for detail and accuracy. He was offered the job of director for the mini-series Shogun but passed -- not authentic enough.

Would that such a director approached a film about Rome with the same attitude and skill.

Perhaps some day we will be so lucky.
