At long last, two years after filming ended "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford" hits screens this September 21. Brad Pitt stars as Jesse James. Casey Affleck stars as Robert Ford. A new trailer is posted at <themovieblog.com>. Scroll way down the page past photos of weird conventioneers. The trailer doesn't do anything for me. It is slow, moody, and Affleck's voice grates on me. The music is wrong for the mood. I actually much preferred the first trailer which is still posted at various web sites including Yahoo. I'm hoping against hope the new trailer does not in any way reflect the actual pace tone or score of this movie. The story has so much potential. I hope Hollywood didn't mess up a golden opportunity to have a truly great "western." In contrast "3:10 to Yuma" has a fast paced, dynamic, tense trailer that really hauls you into the story and makes you want to see more while music pounds in the background building tension. With "Jesse" the music comes dangerously close to being soporific. Regardless of my apprehensions I will definitely be checking out Pitt and Affleck on the 21st. I hope some of you catch the movie too and share your opinions.
