Over an hour of scenes were deleted for the theatrical version, but Dominik remarked he was still very proud of the theatrical version of the film. The disputes during post-production lasted for over a year before a final version was settled upon. There were reportedly more than a dozen edited versions of the film at one time fighting to be the final cut, the longest version being over four hours. Dominik and Pitt were pulling for a less quick-paced and more contemplative cut of the film while the studio wanted "less contemplation and more action". Principal shooting in Canada was completed in 2005, though The Assassination's 2006 release was delayed to a fall 2007 release, largely due to studio interference with the film's editing process. Pitt contacted the director, and with a big star interested to lead his new film, Dominik was therefore able to get Warner Bros. Pitt was a big fan of Dominik's first feature Chopper, and had hoped to collaborate with the filmmaker in the future, especially when Pitt had the chance to work with Chopper star Eric Bana in Troy. The film explores the peculiar relationship between Jesse James and his eventual assassin Robert Ford. His next film was The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, starring Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck, based on the novel of the same name which he came across in a second-hand bookstore.

Chopper received generally positive reviews, and Bana in particular was widely praised for his intense portrayal of Chopper. His career in films began in 2000 when he directed Chopper based on notorious Australian criminal Mark Brandon "Chopper" Read, starring Eric Bana and Simon Lyndon. He graduated from Melbourne's Swinburne Film School in 1988. 1.2 The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007)īorn in Wellington, New Zealand, Andrew Dominik has lived in Australia since he was two years old.It also offers a context and forum to rewrite any character or story and reverse engineer a social message into an "established brand name,” igniting a global conversation.
