The Seventh Samurai

When Tarantino's new reboot of Seven Samurai is called out for whitewashing the cast, the actors must all issue apologies, much to up and coming actor Kevin Samuels' disappointment, having hoped this would be his big break in Hollywood.

Directed by Otis Cary, Judah Goldman, The Seventh Samurai leans on a strong ensemble — Daniel Fissmer, Eric Jackowitz, Alexandra Kopko — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2025.
