Janus Films is proudly flying the flag for its 4K restoration this year of Akira Kurosawa’s classic jidaigeki epic, Seven Samurai. Deadline broke the news on Thursday with plans to screen in New York at the Film Forum on Friday, July 5, before holding its Los Angeles premiere at the American Cinematheque’s Egyptian Theatre on Sunday, July 7, and then opening wide on July 12 in Los Angeles at Laemmle Royal.
