Well, despite whatever upheaval is going on casting wise, perhaps Joel Edgerton wasn’t kidding when he said everything was “wonderful” on the set of “Jane Got A Gun.” Thus far, the villain role has been toughest to slot with Michael Fassbender, Jude Law, and Bradley Cooper all coming and going as the movie has been rocked by director changes and cast defections; but perhaps this one will stick? At any rate, it will give “Star Wars” fans the reunion between Obi Wan-Kenobi and Queen Amidala they’ve been waiting for.

That’s right, Ewan McGregor is busting out the spurs to take on the bad guy role in the Natalie Portman starring and produced western. It’s a reteam of the “Star Wars” prequel stars and my God they were once so young… Here’s a refresher: The film will follow Jane Hammond (Portman), a good girl married to one of the worst baddies in town. When her husband Bill (Noah Emmerich) turns against his own gang, the vicious Bishop Boys, and returns home barely alive with eight bullets in his back, Jane decides to grab a gun and take matters into her own hands. As the relentless leader John Bishop (McGregor) gears up for revenge, Jane’s best hope for her family’s survival rests with her old love Dan Frost (Joel Edgerton) – a gunslinger whose hatred for Bill is only slightly overshadowed by his love for Jane.

We have to say, it’s a pretty great casting replacement and stepping back for a second — a western starring Portman, McGregor and Edgerton? Hard to argue with that. Yes, we can always dream about what Lynne Ramsay could’ve done with the material, but Gavin O’Connor is no slouch so perhaps everyone involved can make some good lemonade out of the last couple months of lemons. And with Ramsay headed to Cannes as part of Steven Spielberg’s jury, we presume we’ll hear her side of the saga soon enough.

Production is underway in New Mexico and barring any other disruptions, this is the final shape the movie will be in. Knock wood. Continue Reading

“MacBeth” fans, rejoice, because two very exciting actors have been tapped to play MacBeth and Lady MacBeth in an upcoming adaptation of the classic Shakespeare place. It’s being reported that Michael Fassbender and Natalie Portman will star in the Justin Kurzel-directed film.

Screen Daily revealed the news about Fassbender, while The Hollywood Reporter learned about Portman’s involvement. THR reports that the Todd Louiso and Jacob Koskoff-penned script is “billed as an updated version of Shakespeare’s tale of revenge and ambition, complete with the blood and thunder of the original tragedy.”

This isn’t the first time Portman and Fassbender were slated to work together. Fassbender was originally tapped to star opposite the “Thor: The Dark World” star in her new movie “Jane Got a Gun,” but passed when director Lynne Ramsay walked away. Jude Law later replaced him.

Production is slated to begin on “MacBeth” later in 2013. Continue Reading
