'Fistful Of Dollars' remake set at Euro Game Entertainment

A remake of Sergio Leone's western starring Clint Eastwood A Fistful Of Dollars is in development at Euro Gang Entertainment, alongside Italian production vet Enzo Sisti of FPC, and Rome-based Jolly Film, which produced the 1964 original.

The film follows a wandering gunfighter with no name who plays two rival families against each other in a town torn apart by greed, pride, and revenge. The original film was made at Italy's Cinecitta Studios.

It has yet to be confirmed if the remake will be an English-language one, and further details such as screenwriter, production start date, and cast have yet to be revealed.

A Fistful Of Dollars was an unofficial remake of Akira Kurosawa's 1961 Yojimbo; Toho successfully sued over the similarity in material, which Leone settled out of court. 

Leone's film has been said to have inspired the Spaghetti Western genre, and the film resulted in two subsequent sequels, For A Few Dollars More and The Good The Bad And The Ugly, both of which starred Eastwood.
