Warner Bros. studio is expected to confirm today that famed playwright Sam Shepard and Sam Rockwell, last seen in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, will star opposite Pitt, Casey Affleck and Mary Louise Parker in this $30 million-US duster about the murder of outlaw Jesse James by gang member Robert Ford.
Shepard, who's was also in Black Hawk Down and The Right Stuff has been to Alberta before to film Terrence Malick's Days of Heaven and Resurrection.
I think this is great news as both are outstanding actors who will certainly add even more talent to the big-budget film. The article also mentions Edmonton Mayor Stephen Mandel's words about respecting the cast and crew while they film in and around the area:
"As Edmonton continues to position itself as a major film location, it is important that the industry feels welcome and views Edmonton as a film-friendly, professional destination," Mandel said in a statement.
He added he is "confident the filming of The Assassination of Jesse James is a sign of great things to come in Alberta's growing film industry."
