Denzel Washington and Ethan Hawke are also on board for the project. “The Magnificent Seven” stars Chris Pratt, Denzel Washington, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D’Onofrio, Haley Bennett and Luke Grimes. According to the IMDB page the film is about seven gun men in the old west gradually come together to help a poor village against savage thieves. “The Magnificent Seven” will be filming in the Baton Rouge area May through August 2015.

I’m an up and coming actor looking for speaking roles to showcase my talent. I recently did a movie called Joe, a costar in that movie. I’m also currently in a movie pilot called the man of the house. Looking forward to hear from you soon. Thank you for the opportunity.
