Luke Grimes lands a role in Antoine Fuqua's "The Magnificent Seven" remake. The "American Sniper" actor is expected to join the cast that include Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke, Chris Pratt, Haley Bennett, and Vincent D'Onofrio, AceShowbiz reports.

A revamped version of John Sturges' 1960 film of the same title, the film is written by "True Detective" creator Nic Pizzolatto and "The Blind Side" scribe John Lee Hancock. It is reportedly set after the Civil War as the Wild West era is coming to an end.

The original "Seven", adapted from Akira Kurosawa's "Seven Samurai", followed the story of seven elite gunslingers who protect an oppressed Mexican village from a group of outlaws. It starred the likes of Yul Brynner, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, and Steve McQueen.
