He was slated to direct Tupac Shakur's official biopic.〔(Production On Tupac Film To Begin This Spring ) AllHipHop.〕 The project was postponed to allow Fuqua to direct rapper Eminem's second feature film, ''Southpaw''. However, Eminem put ''Southpaw'' on hold to focus on music, and was replaced with Jake Gyllenhaal. Fuqua moved on to ''Olympus Has Fallen'' (2013), an action thriller starring Gerard Butler and Morgan Freeman. ''Southpaw'' was released in 2015.

Fuqua is currently directing ''The Magnificent Seven'' (2016), a modern-day remake of the 1960 western of the same name (''The Magnificent Seven'') and Akira Kurosawa's ''Seven Samurai'', on which the western was based. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Antoine Fuqua」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
