Top 200 Most Anticipated Films for 2014: #126. Gavin O’Connor’s Jane Got a Gun

Date:

Jane Got a Gun

Director: Gavin O’Connor
Writers: Brian Duffield, Anthony Tambakis
Producer: Chris Coen, Terry Dougas, Aleen Keshishian, Scott LaStaiti, Mary Regency Boies, Natalie Portman, Zack Schiller, Scott Steindorff
U.S. Distributor: Relativity Media and The Weinstein Company
Cast: Natalie Portman, Ewan McGregor, Rodrigo Santoro, Joel Edgerton, Noah Emmerich, Boyd Holbrook

Jane Got a Gun may have lost some feathers (players) along the way and would have broke into our top 25 if a certain female filmmaker had remained on board, but we’re down all the same for this gunslinger revenge flick. Gavin O’Connor’s sixth feature film (Tumbleweeds remains his best work to date) is the ultimate test for the filmmaker who has had in his hands in several genres.

Gist: A woman asks her ex-lover for help in order to save her outlaw husband from a gang out to kill him.

Release Date: An August 29th date has been pegged, but we would not be surprised if a major fest premiere date ultimately shifts this to further down on the autumn schedule.

Except Cinderella was an actress with a blond wig and Marjane is the real woman behind her autobiographical graphic novel, turned movie, “Persepolis”. The distinctive mole on her nose and her dark sultry eyes rose off the page and appeared in front of me, smoking and speaking with a French accent.
