After I heard that Brad Pitt was going to be
Jesse James for the upcoming Warner Bros film The Assassination of Jesse
James I had my doubts. We have already seen the story told, in a slightly
different fashion, with Colin Farrell and American Outlaws. Could
Pitt offer up a more sensible and deep character than Farrell? I don't know,
but the first image of Pitt as the famous outlaw is enough to get that hype
meter pumping.
Picture of Brad Pitt as Jesse James
Warner Bros. Pictures first provided LatinoReview
with a hi-res version of Brad Pitt as Jesse James in the upcoming film The
Assassination of Jesse James. The movie tells the story of how Robert
Ford joined Jesse James' gang, only to become resentful of the legendary
outlaw and hatch a plan to kill James, the fastest gun in the West.
Luckily, we have just recently received the same image today as well, but
still admit that the one over at LatinoReview is a nice bit larger. Though
we don't have a movie page set up for Jesse James as of yet, with
pics like the one below we better get moving.
Brad Pitt fits the role well.
Check out the hi-res version of the image above by heading over to LatinoReview.
The Assassination of Jesse James will come to theatres in 2006.
The Assassination of Jesse James Movie Page coming soon.
