One of the rarest gems in the world is a Jadeite. Bet you didn't know that, did ya? Well, the Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford is a similar gem. Very rare. Very unusual. And absolutely beautiful. The only major difference in this kinda weird analogy is that if Jadeite was a film it would be widely acclaimed and given tonnes of awards. Obviously, Jesse James wasn't given the privilege of such a reception. Despite this quite masterpiece (which managed to reinvent the recently stale western genre) going unrecognised by the Hollywood elite, we still have another collaboration on the way from the director-(mega) star duo that brought us Assassination.
Thus, we get a brand new pic from Andrew Dominik’s, Cogan's Trade. While no release date as yet (though expect to see this beginning of 2012), the film still sees Pitt's Plan B company supporting the film, as he did with Assassination, while he (as the picture below shows) also takes the lead role. In this lead role, Pitt plays the enforcer, Jackie Cogan, who hunts down the group of junkies that knocked off a mob-protected poker game, and made some bad people very unhappy.
Needless to say, with Dominik behind the camera again and a host of acting talent including Ray Liotta, Bella Heathcote, Garret Dillahunt, James Gandolfini as well as Pitt himself, wesa is very excited about this one. Yes, the fact that the release date could be in January (Oscar time!) gives us an indication that the quality will be high, just to look at their last work can tell us that this will be exciting stuff.
As for the image leak. Little is given away in terms of plot details or how this one is going to play out, but nevertheless it still manages to get our excitement-glands moving. Why has it captured our imagination when there is very little to be seen, I hear you ask? Lacking in substance, it is the mood that captures the heart. The dim car park light, against the dull, dark night. The rough leather jacket, and the harsh, long shot gun. Long, slicked back hair and the rugged, dark beard. The atmosphere captivates us. Indeed, while simple, it is a clever first image leak.
But what do you think? Are we looking too deep into it? Are we just getting carried away? Check out the image and post your thoughts about Dominik’s next latest below...
