We’re just a few weeks away from the high-octane remake of The Magnificent Seven exploding onto the big screen, and in order for us to get to know the characters they’ve released a series of character promo videos where the actors give a brief rundown of their characters – with some new footage to boot.

I wrote about Regression quite a while ago and was keen to see it. It not only has Emma Watson, who I think is very talented, but an actor who recently climbed into my really good books with his performance in Predestination, of course that being Ethan Hawke.
