The Tournament director Scott Mann has been signed to helm the upcoming Seven Samurai remake for the Weinstein Brothers. Scripted by John Fusco (Young Guns, Hidalgo, The Forbidden Kingdom), the flick will reportedly be set in Thailand. Here's the plot according to IMDB:
I haven't seen the original Akira Kurosawa film, but I did see the anime Seven Samurai, which is also based on it and really loved it. I'm not sure how well this remake will translate, but at least it's not being set in the US.A town in Northern Thailand recruits seven Blackwater-type paramilitary contractors from around the world to defend against an imminent attack.
