Robert Ford joins Jesse James's gang, only to become resentful of the legendary outlaw and hatch a plan to kill the fastest gun in the West.

Trailer: http://www.apple.com/trailers/wb/theassassinationofjessejames/trailer1a/

The Assassination of Jessee James by the Coward Robert Ford has Brad Pitt as Jesse James and Casey Affleck as Robert Ford. Also featuring Zooey Deschanel, Mary-Louise Parker, Sam Rockwell, Garret Dillahunt (the droop-eyed cocksucker and Wolcott from Deadwood), and Sam Shepard. There's not much to see in the trailer yet, but it looks promising. Directed by Andrew Dominik, who wrote and directed the scary-looking Chopper. Music by Nick Cave, whom I hate. But he did The Proposition, which kicked ass.

Chopper as the bomb diggity.

Now I'll see the movie.

7/25/2006 10:01:54 PM

Surely SOMEBODY else thinks this looks badass.

8/30/2006 11:46:00 AM

I'm excited about this movie. I'm a really big Brad Pitt fan

8/30/2006 1:04:30 PM

zooey deschanel is soooo hot.

8/30/2006 1:41:25 PM

I for one have always liked a good western....

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and Tombstone to name a couple.

8/30/2006 3:05:27 PM

Can we pleeease get this movie?

6/24/2007 4:05:19 PM

this has been playing at crossroads for the last week

10/26/2007 1:24:24 AM

Way to let people know, jerk.

10/26/2007 1:51:54 AM

I apologize and I'm sorry.

10/26/2007 2:10:10 AM

Well, in that case...

10/26/2007 2:16:35 AM

sounds like a gay porno

10/26/2007 6:20:25 AM

I thought this was going to be about Jesse James the porn star.

10/26/2007 7:25:08 AM

what is up with this release pattern? Its only in 294 theatres nationwide according to boxofficemojo.com

i just saw that it is playing at my local theatre but with only two showtimes each day.


what is the reason for such a limited, unhyped release?

The ballantyne theater in charlotte has both this and darjleeling.

I can't decide which to see tonight.

I'm hoping the girl won't know anything bought lars and the real girl , because i'm sure as hell not seeing that.

^dude, Lars and the Real Girl is a pretty awesome movie too


^^this movie is being released in a similar fashion as a lot of movies these days. Instead of going for a wide release right away (2,500+ screens) it does so in stages. This way here they can better judge how many prints of the film to produce based on how popular it is. It costs a lot of money to make a print (the actual film that gets delivered to theaters) Every weekend just doubling the amount of screens its on.. This also builds up word of mouth (see Borat or Dreamgirls and the insane amount of money those films did)

Unfortunately I don't see this movie expanding a whole lost unless it's gonna start generating some money. So I can see this movie being stuck in limited release and not going much further.

As to why it is only playing twice a day at your local screen...
It's a long movie. Most theaters will only play it 3 times a day (such at crossroads). Anytime a movie is over 2.5 hours long most theaters will play two matinees and one evening show. How many screens does your local theater have? More than likely it is sharing the screen it is playing on with another movie. so both movie will have two shows a day, or the other movie might just have one...


that's all i got

10/26/2007 10:08:06 AM

Actually after watching the trailer, I'm game for that now, too. Thanks.....

10/26/2007 10:15:39 AM

^^good info. that is ultimately what i thought (about the stages of release, ala Brokeback Mountain and what you named).

I didn't realize the movie was 2hr 40min until after I posted. My theatre is 24 screens, but i'm sure they only have one copy of film so twice a day is probably spot on.

10/26/2007 2:35:10 PM

hmm, yeah, if they have 24 screens they must be sharing screens with something else for it not to be playing 3 times. which sucks, because its not like there are that many movies out there. Crossroads only has 20 screens and can dedicate a screen to this movie by itself, so...

24 screens? which movie theater?

10/26/2007 2:44:51 PM

AMC 24 at Concord Mills

in Concord, NC

10/26/2007 2:48:43 PM

I really HATE Concord.

10/26/2007 4:08:32 PM

why?

10/26/2007 4:56:50 PM

The only reason I go out there is to the movies and occasionally the horrible mall. The traffic there and the people negotiating it are retarded. I can't stand the mall. If you decide to eat at one of the chain resturants out of convenience, you most likely have a couple hour wait--so it isn't worthwhile. Who the hell waits 2 hours to eat at the olive garden??? With the off chance you do get a short wait, you are sorrounded by bumbling morons (wait staff and patrons).

Going to the movies there has always yeilded a bad experience, too.


Not to mention, the race track is there. It's responsible for "rednecks invade tryon st", terrible traffic 2 times a year, and general annoyances.


Did I mention that people there are exponetially worse at driving?

10/26/2007 5:45:23 PM

Id rather see the Ass'n Of Jesse Jane.

10/26/2007 5:59:54 PM

^^lol understandable.

i guess i've lived here long enough to know how to negotiate those types of things, not to mention i dont even bother eating anywhere near concord mills.

10/26/2007 6:08:58 PM

^^her last name is a girl's name, thats a first
but nice ass'n

10/26/2007 6:46:16 PM

that is all.

11/9/2007 12:12:22 AM

10/25/2011 12:42:32 PM

Saw this recently. Very good.

Also:

10/25/2011 12:44:01 PM

i really really love this movie. i maintain that despite it being long and boring, it is a perfectly crafted film.

[Edited on October 25, 2011 at 2:33 PM. Reason : ^ that's awesome.]

10/25/2011 2:06:44 PM

Loved this movie.

10/25/2011 9:14:25 PM

^^yes.

Casey Affleck plays an awesome creeper.

10/26/2011 8:49:49 AM

Ass'n USA

10/26/2011 8:52:17 AM

What a great movie. WOW!

I have been listening to the soundtrack for a few years now and had never seen the movie.

Good call, simonn!

The casting director, Mali Finn, casted many well known movies. She died in 2007.

6/9/2012 12:32:18 AM

every time i try to watch this, i get bored or fall asleep. Which is not the norm for me. I have no problem with slower stuff usually. I just can't get through/into this.

Is there a certain point in the movie when you really start to get engaged?

6/9/2012 12:48:17 AM

you really hate casey affleck after this movie, one of my favorites

for me it was the train robbing scene. when i saw that i thought "oh my god this is so beautiful, i hope this movie never ends"... which came close to coming true.
