Brad Pitt Is Jesse James
March 18, 2004 - Variety says Brad Pitt will star as legendary Old West outlaw Jesse James in Warner Brothers' adaptation of Ron Hansen's novel The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford. The author was mistakenly called "Robert Hansen" by the trade.
Andrew Dominik (Chopper) will direct and script. Ridley & Tony Scott will produce the Western under their Scott Free shingle along with Pitt's Plan B.
Variety says Hansen's novel "focused on Robert Ford as a way to tell the James legend. Ford was a member of the James gang and started out worshipping the exploits of the fastest gun in the West. He eventually became envious and figured he'd take over the gang and garner his own reputation by shooting James in the back."
Pitt is attached to star in two other Warner Brothers films, Michael Mann's The Hatfields and the McCoys and Martin Scorsese's remake of Infernal Affairs.
