Trailer of the Day: The Assassination of Jesse James... and Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid
Trailer of the day
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (Andrew Dominik, 2007)
New western on the life of Jesse James, being released this fall. Looks alright. I could go for a movie where Brad Pitt returns to being a good actor... I always enjoy a good western and it's been a while since one has come out (though 'the Proposition' wasn't bad...).
Starring Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck. with: Mary-Louise Parker, Sam Shepherd, Sam Rockwell, and Zooey Deschanel
Retro-Trailer of the Day
Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (Sam Peckinpah, 1973)
Starring: James Coburn, Kris Kristofferson, Bob Dylan and Slim Pickins
Somewhat along the same lines, I was really hoping to pair this with 'I Shot Jesse James' (Samuel Fuller), which just came out on DVD from the Criterion Eclipse Series, but no dice on locating a trailer, there isn't even one included on the DVD (unless I totally missed it...).

Film & TV on DVD
Great to see so Peckinpah love, the new DVD Directors cut of Pat Garret and Billy The Kid moved me to tears.
