NATALIE PORTMAN'S WESTERN FLICK IS FINALLY COMING
When Natalie Portman and director Lynne Ramsay (We Need To Talk About Kevin, 2011) announced back in May 2012 that they’ll be teaming up for the western action-drama Jane Got A Gun, the film has been heavily embattled with production setbacks and problems. During the very first day of shooting, Ramsay decided to drop out, with varying rumors circling around conflicts with lead actor (at that time) Michael Fassbender, fuss over what she was getting paid and her bad behavior (including constantly under the influence of alcohol and abusive towards crew members). Fassbender also took off due to scheduling conflicts with his X-Men filming, and was replaced by Joel Edgerton. Gavin O'Connor (Pride & Glory, 2008) took over the director's seat, and soon they even lost their villain Jude Law, who claimed that he signed on because he wanted to work with Ramsay. Replacing Law's role with Bradley Cooper did not happen as well, due to scheduling conflict. The villain's role was eventually filled by Ewan McGregor.
Against all odds we are finally treated with the first trailer for Jane Got A Gun, with Portman spotted in the bold and angst titular role Jane Hammond, whose husband (Noah Emmerich) has a run-in with an outlaw gang led by Colin (Ewan McGregor). In desperation, she turns to her former fiancé Dan Frost (Joel Edgerton) for help. The film is slated for a February release next year. Meantime, Portman has recently gone to Harvard to study psychology, where she dryly replied when people ask if that would interrupt her acting career, "I'd rather be smart than a movie star." She has also just made her directorial debut with a Hebrew drama film titled A Tale of Love And Darkness, which will be featured as Moovie Gab's fiLmsToLoOkOutFoR.
