Brad Pitt to play Jesse James

 Posted by:
Brad Pitt is going to suit up and play Jesse James in a period werstern which will be helmed by Chopper director Andrew Dominik. The film will be based on a novel written by Robert Hansen, "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford."

In the book, Hansen re-creates the real West with his imaginative telling of the life of the most famous outlaw of them all, Jesse James, and of his death at the hands of the upstart Robert Ford. James, a charismatic, superstitious, and moody man, holds sway over a ragged gang who fear his temper and quick shooting. Robert Ford, a young gang member torn between worshipping Jesse and taking his place, guns him down in cold blood and lives out his days tormented by the killing.

The film will be produced by Pitt's Plan B Films. So far there has been no other casting announcements.
