Louis B. Hobson with The Calgary Sun (print and online editions) today reported on the filming of The Assassination of Jesse James:
Brad Pitt saddled up in earnest for the first time yesterday. Pitt is both the star and a co-producer of the $30-million western 'The Assassination of Jesse James' that has been filming in Calgary since Aug. 29.
According to a Sun source, yesterday was Pitt's first day in front of the cameras.
He was filming outdoor scenes with several cast members as well as Sam Shepard, who plays Jesse's older brother Frank James.
Pitt arrived in Calgary on Aug. 16 for meetings with fellow producers brothers Ridley and Tony Scott as well as David Valdes.
He also familiarized himself with the horse he is using in the film and was fitted for costumes and make-up.
The article also mentions that director Andrew Dominik filmed scenes near Millarville, Turner Valley and along the Bow River at McKinnon Flats while Pitt was away from the production. They also filmed for one day in Calgary's Heritage Park.
