Sergio Leone’s A Fistful of Dollars, starring Clint Eastwood, is set for a remake now in development. The 1964 classic film created the “spaghetti Western” and was itself a remake of Akira Korosawa’s 1961 Yojimbo. The latest version will come from Gianni Nunnari and Simon Horseman’s Euro Gang Entertainment and Italian production partner, Enzo Sisti and FPC S.r.l., and Rome-based Jolly Film, the film’s original producer and distributor.

Leone’s A Fistful of Dollars, about a drifting and detached gunfighter who plays two rival families against each other in a town torn apart by greed, pride and revenge, made Eastwood a star. A Fistful of Dollars was also the first of a trilogy that included For a Few Dollars More and The Good the Bad and the Ugly, films about the “man with no name” that starred Eastwood.
