With all the problems Brad Pitt's "Assassination of Jesse James" was having, we now actually have a full length trailer and it looks amazing. The story revolves around Robert Ford (Casey Affleck) joins Jesse James's (Pitt) gang, only to become resentful of the legendary outlaw and hatch a plan to kill the fastest gun in the West.
The trailer is really slow, but shows the relationship between Ford and James, which eventually turns into an obsession. Since several versions of the film were cut, even one by Pitt himself, it is difficult to tell by the trailer which the studio eventually went with.
That's basically the reason why this film has been delayed for so long. Its tone and a three-hour running time caused several people to begin making edits. Some wanted a Clint Eastwood-style actioner while others were looking to make a dark, contemplative examination of fame and infamy. In addition, test screenings reportedly fared poorly.
With the September 21st release date approaching, Warner Bros. Pictures has stated that the new film is "true to the source material (novel by Ron Hansen) and in keeping with the creative vision of its filmmakers."
