Posted by Dot on 9/7/2007, 10:59 pm, in reply to "Has anybody seen the pics from the press for Jesse James?" Haven't heard anything about Jesse James going wide. It opens in four (?) cities on Sept. 21. I think they're trying to see if it garners enough critical acclaim at the various film festivals to allow it to go wider. It sounds like a tough sell -- long, lingering, visually poetic. Not the stuff of blockbusters, but it definitely sounds appealing to me. I saw your question about The Time Traveler's Wife and remembered I'd just recently seen a news item about it, so I've gone and found it....from Variety: "New Line has set Eric Bana and Rachel McAdams for The Time Traveler's Wife, the Robert Schwentke-directed adaptation of the bestselling Audrey Niffenegger novel. "McAdams has long flirted with the project, about a Chicago librarian with a genetic disorder that causes him to time-travel when he is under duress. Though his disorder causes him to vanish for long periods, he tries to build a life with the woman he loves. She's a young heiress struggling with the arrangement. "The film is produced by Plan B's Brad Pitt, Nick Wechsler and Dede Gardner. Jeremy Leven originally adapted it with Bruce Joel Rubin rewriting. "Variety says that shooting starts in August." Interestingly, Bruce Joel Rubin wrote the script for "Ghost."

When you say "these two," you mean Brad and Casey Affleck in Jesse James? LOL, I have a feeling it's Brad and Angie you're talking about, but the subject line threw me. But it does seem both pairs have done well together, and I wish them all well.
