Singapore: Director Antoine Fuqua says removing Academy Award-winning actor Denzel Washington onboard for ‘The Magnificent Seven’ was not easy.
The executive combined that Denzel tortured him on purpose.
When asked about how easy was it to remonstrate Denzel to do a film, Fuqua said: “It wasn’t that easy. He tortured me for a while.”
“The Magnificent Seven” is a reconstitute of a 1960 classic, that is itself a reconstitute of a mythological 1954 Japanese film “The Seven Samurai”. The film will recover in India on Friday. The press eventuality was organized by Sony Pictures Entertainment here.
The film also stars Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke and Vincent D’Onofrio.
The expel is really diverse, and Fuqua feels that “it’s one of these things where we don’t get to make these kinds of cinema anymore”.
“We arrange of have deserted some of those classical films like that. Denzel, like we said, he only tortured me on purpose. He kind of dragged me out and afterwards he finally done me fly to New York and have lunch and paint a whole design — that is kind of what he does to me sometimes. But he pronounced yes,” Fuqua said.
He combined that Hawke threatened him to expel him in a film.
Fuqua said: “When we did ‘The Equalizer’ we was in New York and he listened that we might do ‘ The Magnificent Seven’. He literally grabbed me and put me opposite a wall and pronounced ‘If we do this effen film but me I’ll kill you’. So we was like, ‘Don’t worry, you’re in’. So he was there.
“Vincent D’Onofrio we’re friends. We called Vincent and said, ‘If we do this film are we in?’ He said, ‘I’m in’. Chris was, we know, he had so many offers and we wasn’t certain if we was going to get Chris or not. But ironically, when we got Chris on a phone — we was in my office, they said, ‘Okay, Chris is on a phone, wants to speak to we about ‘Magnificent Seven’. As shortly as we picked adult a phone he started singing ‘Oh Shenandoah’ this aged Western song. He only starts singing. And we knew he was in.”
