Joel Edgerton is still waiting for the movie that will properly break him in Hollywood, but now Deadline reports that The Thing and Zero Dark Thirty actor has entered talks to join the cast of Jane Got a Gun for director Lynne Ramsay (We Need to Talk About Kevin).
Natalie Portman is already onboard to play Jane Hammond, a woman in the Old West who enlists the help of a former lover (Michael Fassbender) when a band of outlaws come searching for her husband. Joel Edgerton will play John Bishop, the villainous leader of this evil group.
Ramsay is set to direct from Brian Duffield’s Black Listed screenplay. It isn’t clear when production will begin.
