Directed by the Italian filmmaker Sergio Leone, the original movie was a pioneer in the 'spaghetti western' genre and spawned a whole trilogy of Dollars movies, all starring Eastwood.
Clint Eastwood 's classic western A Fistful Of Dollars is officially being remade 60 years after it first bowed in theaters.
Jolly Film, an Italian production company that helped back the original movie, is also one of the outfits behind the new version, according to Deadline. He inserts himself into a feud between two local smuggling families, the Rojos and the Baxters, and takes advantage their battle of wills to extract a profit for himself.
A Fistful Of Dollars was released five years after Eastwood got his big break as an actor on the successful western series Rawhide. Eastwood and director Sergio Leone went on to make For A Few Dollars More in 1965 and The Good, The Bad And The Ugly in 1966; they are pictured on the set of the latter The Unforgiven star - who was seen looking frail this March - cast Nicholas Hoult as a man who comes to a chilling realization while sitting on a jury.
