6. Jane Got a Gun (2015)
Directed By: Gavin O’Connor
Starring: Natalie Portman, Ewan McGregor, Joel Edgerton
Genre: Western
Few movies have been plagued with as much drama as this one. Originally announced in 2012 to star Natalie Portman (Star Wars, Black Swan), Michael Fassbender, and Joel Edgerton with director Lynne Ramsay at the helm, Fassbender had to drop out due to scheduling. Edgerton took over Fassbender’s role and Jude Law came in to replace Edgerton. Then on the day production was scheduled to begin, Ramsay quit. The next day Gavin O’Connor was brought in to take over as director, but then Jude Law quit because he only came to work with Ramsay. Then the cinematographer also quit, and a new writer was brought in to rework the script. Bradley Cooper signed on to replace Law, but a month later he also quit due to scheduling. Finally, Ewan McGregor (Star Wars, Trainspotting) took Cooper’s place and Jane Got a Gun could finally be shot. After all that the movie’s release has been set back twice from Summer 2014 to this fall. After such a long journey to get here I can only imagine the passion and perseverance Natalie Portman has for this film. I certainly look forward to seeing the fruits of her and all the crew’s labour. This Western revenge drama sounds like it’ll be worth the wait.
