Director of the 'The Magnificent Seven', Antoine Fuqua, left no stone unturned to make the first costume experience for his actors a grand event. To get the feel of being 'Magnificent' the director bought huge speakers playing the track from the original film, giving them an amazing memory that will last them a lifetime.
The Magnificent Seven stars Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, Byung-Hun Lee, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Martin Sensmeier, Peter Sarsgaard, Haley Bennett and Matt Bomer is all about seven distinctly different people with different qualities fighting to help a village against savage thieves.
'It was pretty amazing. The first time all seven of us appeared in costume on the set Antoine had brought out these speakers and actually was blasting out the soundtrack to (the original) The Magnificent Seven (laughs). He was blasting out the music as we came riding into town. It was really fun (laughs),' said Ethan Hawke.
Agreeing to which Chris Pratt added 'The first time you put that costume on and walk out on set? Oh, man, there was this moment where we were walking down the town, devising a plan, and there's the seven of us all lined up in a row. We're just walking down the road, saying whatever we want. It was awesome! I was smoking a cigar, standing next to Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D'Onofrio, and all the other cast members, and there was dust everywhere. Man, it was really, really, really, cool - definitely a 'pinch me' moment.'
