Oscar-nominee Bradley Cooper has become the latest actor to walk from Jane Got A Gun. His departure follows that of Michael Fassbender and Jude Law, as well as the unexpected exit of original director Lynne Ramsay the day shooting was meant to begin.
The film, which stars Natalie Portman as the titular Jane, has been plagued by production issues pretty much from the start. Cooper has been forced to walk because of scheduling conflicts; the Boston bombing delayed filming on his current project, David O. Russell’s American Hustle and he’ll be spending the summer promoting The Hangover Part III.
Set in the Wild West, Jane Got A Gun will (eventually) tell the story of a woman who contacts her ex (Joel Edgerton) to save her home from the gang who murdered her husband.
Reports suggest the producers have until June to find a replacement and are now looking at Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hiddleston and Jake Gyllenhaal to fill the gap.
