News about our classmate, Noah Ememrich, from Deadline.com:
Noah Emmerich, whose work as a conflicted FBI agent has been a highlight of the FX Cold War series The Americans, has been set to play the final major lead role inJane Got A Gun, the Gavin O’Connor-directed Western that stars Natalie Portman, Bradley Cooper and Joel Edgerton. Emmerich will play the outlaw husband of the title character (Portman) who is trying to keep her farm from going under. Knowing that his gang–led by a desperado played by Cooper–will come to kill her husband and destroy her farm, Jane hires her ex-lover (Edgerton) to stop them.
After that rough start when director Lynne Ramsay dropped out of the film the night before it went into production, Jane Got A Gun is several weeks into production. This will be the fifth film that Emmerich has made with O’Connor, after Tumbleweeds, Miracle, Pride And Glory, and Warrior (latter of which starred Edgerton). Emmerich also worked with O’Connor on The Americans; O’Connor directed the pilot for that freshman drama series, which stars Keri Russell and Matthew Rhys. Emmerich also starred with Portman in the Ted Demme-directedBeautiful Girls, which proved to a breakout for both actors. Of course, Emmerich played a married guy and Portman played a kid in that film, but hey, she’s grown up and there will be a different dynamic in Jane Got A Gun.
Scripted by Brian Duffield, Jane Got A Gun is being produced by Scott Pictures’ Scott Steindorff along with Portman through her Handsomecharlie Films, Brillstein Entertainment’s Aleen Keshishian, 1821 Pictures’ Terry Dougas and Scott LaStaiti. Emmerich next stars in Guillaume Canet’s Blood Ties opposite Marion Cotillard and Clive Owen. He’s repped by Gersh and Brillstein.
