Jane Got a Gun,” however, may be the most valuable finished film in Relativity’s upcoming stable. The film, which was expected to be jointly distributed with The Weinstein Company, is already well known for the last-minute director swap from Lynne Ramsay to Gavin O’Connor. Relativity’s current troubles continue to do the film no favors.
“Jane” is slated to open on Sept. 4, but Relativity and TWC have yet to release a poster or a trailer — necessary marketing materials for even the smallest of films, let alone a star-studded Western with an Oscar-winning cast.
Reached for comment, producer Scott Steindorff told TheWrap that “Jane Got a Gun” is “definitely moving out of September,” while insiders suggest the film will be delayed until 2016 since TWC (or another distributor) would need time to mount a proper marketing campaign.
“Jane Got a Gun” was also produced by Regency Boies, the daughter of high-powered entertainment attorney David Boies, who personally appealed to Harvey Weinstein to have TWC step in and take over full distribution of the film from Relativity.
