Sony drops Mangold, again!

By M&C News Jun 24, 2006, 12:30 GMT

For the second time in his career, director James Mangold’s project in pre-production has been put on “turnaround” by Sony Pictures.The first was the Academy Award © nominated ‘Walk the Line’ which Sony dropped and Fox picked up – turning it into a commercial and critically acclaimed success.And now, it is Mangold’s remake of the 1957 ‘3:10 to Yima’, which has Russell Crowe attached."3:10", is the story of a small-time rancher who agrees to hold a captured outlaw waiting for a train to go to court in Yuma. A battle of wills ensues as the outlaw tries to psych out the rancher.Unlike other high profile projects dropped recently for exceeding project budget, it appears Sony dropped the project after four years of development because they were concerned that westerns did not play well in foreign territories, which studios rely on for majority of their take. Pic’s budget was $60 million. Mangold was disappointed saying he always came in on budget and it was a shame after all this time in development, Sony would lose interest.
