The web statements would presumably be derived from a large set of
records, not from an individual record. The bib record for Sturges'
"Magnificent 7" if constructed the same way as the Kurosawa record would
inferentially provide the data needed to create the statement
establishing his connection. The logic would break down, though, when
the bib record describes multiple objects. A MARC bib record describing
a 3-DVD set of the three "King Kong" movies would have a hard time
associating individual directors with their movies in a way that
machines could process. As Adam observed, an authority record focused on
a particular work or expression in a way that many bib records are not
would provide a better basis for establishing these kinds of relationships.

In today's record, we would code this somewhat like:
100 $a Kurosawa, Akira $e director
245 $a Shichinin no samurai
246 $a Seven Samurai
500 $a Adapted as "The Magnificent 7"
730 $a Magnificent 7
Well I would change your 100 to a 700 to make this more like what we
do in a bibliographic record. But there's no reason all of this could
not be in an authority record instead:
130 $a Shichinin no samurai
430 $a Seven samurai
500 $a Kurosawa, Akira $e director
530 $w r $i adapted as $a Magnificent 7
