    Bradley Cooper has quit now, director Lynne Ramsey and Michael Fassbender and Jude Law also left previously

    Will Natalie Portman ever get her western made now :P

    Perhaps she's holding them at gunpoint? But they're all managing to escape? :P

    Some of the financiers are probably going to bolt next. Even if Cooper (and Law/Fassbender before him) did leave for scheduling reasons, the perception now is that there's unresolvable problems, meaning they are going to have very hard time replacing him with someone of equal star power.

    It'll be interesting to see who ends up taking the fall for this. Presumedly Portman and Ramsay, though I suspect undeservedly.

    I sure as hell hope someone's making a proper making-of of all this :p

    To be honest, I lost interest in the film once Ramsay left and O Connor took over. Serious step-down in quality regardless of casting issues.

    The latest I'm reading is that Ewan McGregor has signed up as the head baddie. It'll be weird seeing these two on opposing sides, unlike the last time they worked together...

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    Yeah, like the fortuitously-chronicled car crash that became Lost in La Mancha.

    Ewan McGregor is completely unrecognizable in this. I didn't in fact realise it was him until after the film when I was looking at the cast.

    A good solid film and very enjoyable overall, cliche in spots and doesn't reinvent the wheel but very solid acting largely carries it.

    Critics haven't been too kind to it all but if you enjoy the Western genre it's well worth a watch, and thanks to a fairly lean run-time for a film of this sort, it never feels flabby.

    I agree with Mark Kermode that it's one of those films that should have been great but ended up been just okay.

    I think with Lynne Ramsey behind the camera, this would have been more bleak and downbeat and probably more touching. I think sadly this film will be remembered for its behind the scenes problems more then anything else.

    As a film it's actually a fine western that passes the time, Mcgregor is probably the best thing in it although his accents are still his weak point. Edgerton was fine but I think a actor like Fassbender would have elevated that role. Portman, who can be hit and miss and probably took the biggest hit from this, was okay nothing remarkable.

    It was always going to be a film that was flawed cause of all the tweaks and changes behind the scenes. But it's a decent at best western that pass the time.

    Finally got round to watching this, not as bad as was panned by critics so was expecting worse, but I think I would swapped Joel and Ewan's roles
