It looks like Tom Cruise wants to be a gunslinger.
The "Mission: Impossible" star is loading his six-shooter and riding into the sunset of the remake of "The Magnificent Seven," according to Variety.
The original "The Magnificent Seven" (1960) took the basic premise of Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai" and reworked it as a western, in which a group of mercenaries are hired by the citizens of a Mexican village to protect them from bandits. The film definitely had "true grit" — and star power galore, provided by an amazing cast that includes Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen, Eli Wallach, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, Brad Dexter and James Coburn.
