Brad Pitt scores a hit, award with Jesse James
Fresh off a Best Actor award from the Venice Film Festival, Brad Pitt talks to the Post’s Bob Thompson about his new film The Assassination of Jesse James by The Coward Robert Ford and the pitter patter of little feet:

After the Venice Film Festival, Brad Pitt and his Angelina Jolie family entourage found themselves completing their world film festival tour with a stop in Toronto Saturday.
That’s where he got to celebrate Pitt’s Venice Film Festival best actor award for his The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford.

Before they got to Hogtown, though, Pitt also proclaimed for all to hear that he
wants to have another child. And we should all go ahead and assume the
making of that potential baby would be with Jolie. Together the couple already have four kids, including a 15-month-old girl Jolie gave birth to.

On the professional front, Pitt proudly showcased his cowboy picture at the
Toronto International Film Festival. Screening at the Elgin Visa Theatre
Saturday night, Jesse James shows itself to be an artistic cowboy picture about heroes and villains and a lot of the in between.

Pitt, naturally, plays Jesse James. The outlaw’s brooding and paranoid and in the
final year of his rampaging. So don’t expect quick draws and saloon brawls.
Ain’t what this western’s about.

Filmed more than two years ago mostly outside of Calgary and Winnipeg, the movie is a mostly reflective artsy oater by Aussie director Andrew Dominik who fine-tunes the performances each and every way.

Pitt and especially Casey Affleck who plays the coward Ford, give
Oscar-worthy performances although both seemed slightly uncomfortable about
the accolades offered them at a jammed Four Seasons Hotel Saturday before the screening.

In an interview with the National Post, Pitt admitted the three year long edit of “the complicated and psychological film” was worth the wait because they released the drama they had intended to make.

Some pundits predicted the picture was in trouble last year, but the Ocean’s Thirteen star said nothing could be farther from the truth. He said when director Dominik missed a release date last fall they both decided to wait for a following autumn release.

Their decision seems to have paid off. Pitt said he is especially thrilled with Affleck’s performance. “He’s always been more than he’s showed us and now he finally gets to prove it,” said Pitt.

In fact, the US$30-milion film is getting positive notices at the Toronto festival after winning over critics at Venice which is where Pitt suggested he might want to have another child.

He wouldn’t go that far in Toronto but he maintained his new family is the most important thing to him for many different reasons.

“My family comes first policy has made making movies more enjoyable,” he confirmed. “I don’t feel defined by what I do and that makes me feel good doing it.”

Speaking of family, Pitt smiled when he was asked if he could escape George Clooney who was in a Four Seasons suite a few doors down promoting Toronto festival film Michael Clayton. They both had been in Venice doing their festival thing. And both are currently together again on a Coen Brothers picture being shot in New York called Burn After Reading.

So did Clooney, a Coen veteran, give Pitt any advice on working with the brothers? “We don’t give that much advice to each other just a lot sarcasm,” he said.
