FYC, #5 is problematic because its 2022, not 2017 and the Clint Eastwood's 2021 Cry Macho fits the broader definition of a Western as a neo-Western.
FYC Unforgiven - Trivial Fact Alternatives (4)
* Prior to Clint Eastwood optioning the rights for the project, Francis Ford Coppola had previously held the option rights in 1984.
* Oddly, The first classic western Eastwood starred in, 1964's "A Fistful of Dollars," was itself a remake of a classic Japanese samurai film, Akira Kurosawa's 1961 "Yojimbo." The last classic western Eastwood has starred in to date, 1992's "Unforgiven" was itself remade into a classic Japanese samurai film, "Yurusarezaru mono" in 2013.
* The screenwriter, David Webb Peoples also wrote the screenplays for the upcoming Mandrake the Magician, 1995's 12 Monkeys, 1992's Hero, and 1982's Blade Runner.
