We all remember the last time Andrew Dominik chose to work with Brad Pitt on a film, ‘The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford’ was the product of that effort. I loved that film mostly because when I was a kid I was obsessed with Jesse James stories and to me it felt like a story book brought to life in a very beautiful and almost poetic way.
The film is about a professional enforcer named Jackie Cogan, who investigates a heist that takes place during a high stakes poker game under the protection of the mob.
Dominik is also reportedly hoping to reunite with two other JESSE JAMES vets – Casey Affleck and Sam Rockwell – as well as potentially bringing on Mark Ruffalo and Javier Bardem. Let’s hope!
I have high expectations for this film, and I find that Brad Pitt has been making a lot of great choices in films in his older age. I hope they use the same Director of Photography that they used on The Assassination of Jesse James because those shots were remarkably lit and gorgeous to watch.
