I hear Irish movie hunk Michael Fassbender has decided to turn down a part in the forthcoming Western “Jane Got A Gun”, which stars Natalie Portman in the lead role. He will be replaced by Joel Edgerton.
The oater centres around titular character Jane (Portman) whose outlaw husband returns home after being shot by his double-crossing gang. When the treacherous mob arrive in town to kill her spouse, Jane asks a former lover to help her defend him and their home.
The 35-year-old actor was going to play the ex-lover but due to a shooting conflict with X-Men: Days of Future Past – which is filming in Montreal, Canada – he has had to pass on the project.
Edgerton had already signed up to play the gang leader but has now switched roles and will portray the heroic ex.
Jude Law has now been cast as the murderous gang leader in the movie – which will be directed by Lynne Ramsay, the Glaswegian talent who previously helmed Morvern Callar and We Need to Talk About Kevin. Shooting is scheduled to start in New Mexico in April.
Jude the Law-breaker? Good choice in my opinion!
