Brad Pitt as Jesse James
While I try to wake myself up with a pot of coffee, I thought I would share this lovely picture of Brad Pitt as Jesse James from his movie The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
I am really looking forward to this. I love a good Western (and it’s been awhile since a good one has been released in Hollywood), and Jesse James was always one of my favorite outlaws.

I can’t wait to see that either. Infact all of Brad’s upcoming films look great. O13 will be hilarious if it’s anything like O11. JJ will be dark but worth watching all the same to see Brad BROOD(sp).
Thanks Sherry;)

Must say, I do love this “haunting” picture! It captures the mood and the era of Jesse all the way.

Robert C. James
I am a Great Grandson of Jesse Woodson James and have written the movie screenplay of THE SECOND LEGEND OF JESSE WOODSON JAMES (c) 1993. The REAL Jesse lived to be 107 years age. He was still alive when I was born in 1951. The cover up by the James family was that Robert Ford killed Charlie Bigelow, and not Jesse James.
I believe Brad Pitt as Jesse James will not portray the character of the “hardened, civil war and one of Quantril’s guerrilla veteran” whom the REAL Jesse was. His close knit family life was full of strife and tension because he was a “Wanted Man, Dead or Alive!” After his freedom from his supposed death, he even sang at the funeral.
He was a desperado and traveled as far as Argentina, South America. He had over seventy five aliases he used during the 72 following years of his life. No, I beleive that another actor than Brat Pitt would have depicted the character of Jesse W. James to a rating of not R, but XXX.
