Sam Shepard will join Brad Pitt in The Assassination of Jesse James.
The Hollywood Reporter says Shepard will play Jesse James' brother Frank.
Based on the novel by Ron Hansen the film will tell the tale of the most famous outlaw of them all, Jesse James (Pitt), and of his death at the hands of the upstart Robert Ford. James, a charismatic, superstitious, and moody man, holds sway over a ragged gang who fear his temper and quick shooting. Robert Ford (Casey Affleck), a young gang member torn between worshipping Jesse and taking his place, guns him down in cold blood and lives out his days tormented by the killing.
Andrew Dominik is directing from a script also writer by Hansen.
