Synopsis:
Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck star in this character-driven account of the last days of the fabled
former Confederate outlaw. Highly regarded as a charismatic, spiritual, larger-than-life bad man,
Jesse James bloody exploits captured the fascination and admiration of a nation transfixed with
its hunger for antiheroes. Robert Ford was a young impressionable torn between dedicated worship
and murderous jealousy of his criminally rampaging idol. He was "the coward" who coveted Jesse's
legend and sought to subsume his notoriety. Andrew Dominick directs the powerfully objective
story of their interweaving paths told in a tapestry of Terrence Malick-esque cinematography
amidst the backdrop of a country still convalescing from the wounds of a war that romanticized
the train and bank robbing rebel.
Trivia & Facts:
When casting for the role of Robert Ford it came down to Casey Affleck and Shia LaBeouf.
Affleck eventually got the role, because LaBeouf was felt to be too young.
Garret Dillahunt was originally set to play Casey Affleck's brother, due to their striking
resemblance, but due to a TV commitment, Dillahunt was given a smaller role and Sam Rockwell
replaced his original part.
