Bradley Cooper to replace Jude Law in "Jane Got A Gun'

It's been announced that Bradley Cooper will be taking the place of Jude law as the bad guy in 'Jane Got a Gun.'

The western, which lost Law following the departure of director Lynne Ramsay due to creative clashes, looked to be in serious trouble on a few weeks ago.

Michael Fassbender had already quit the production prior to Law and Ramsay bowing out.

However the recruitment of the 'Silver Linings Playbook' star, as well as the quick appointment of Gavin O’Connor as director, looks set to secure funding and allow filming to continue.

The film, also stars Natalie Portman as the woman looking to save her outlaw husband from a gang set on revenge.

Fassbender, who was set to play Portman's ex-lover who comes to her aid, has been replaced by Joel Edgerton who was originally cast  as a gang member. Edgerton is about to appear in Baz Luhrman's 'Great Gatsby.'

Cooper will play the leader of the gang. He's currently filming David O. Russell's next feature and is expected to join the production of 'Jane' later in the year.
