Have we come up with a term for remakes of remakes yet? Someone better get on that, because Variety is reporting that Tom Cruise has signed on to headline an MGM remake of the 1960 Western classic The Magnificent Seven, itself a re-imagining of Akira Kurosawa's iconic 1954 masterpiece Seven Samurai.
