Michael Fassbender Exits Natalie Portman's 'Jane Got a Gun' (Exclusive) 6:39 PM PDT 3/11/2013 by Borys Kit (THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER)

Jude Law now will play the villain as Joel Edgerton shifts to the hero role in the high-profile Western.

Michael Fassbender, who was to have played the male lead in the Natalie Portman-led Western, has exited the movie, while Joel Edgerton, who was on board to play the villain, will step into the hero role.

Jude Law, in the meantime, has signed on for the villain, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

The moves come a couple weeks before the start of shooting in New Mexico. Sources say the actor rotation came about due to Fassbender's schedule conflict with his upcoming shoot in Montreal for X-Men: Days of Future Past. Gun has been pushed back several times and now is scheduled to begin filming in April.

Jude Law didn't plan film career added: 4 Mar 2013 // by: Film-News.co.uk Newsdesk

Jude Law didn't plan to have a career in film.

The British actor never expected to make it in Hollywood when he was growing up in South London.

Jude named Daniel Day-Lewis' My Beautiful Laundrette as being the film that changed his ambitions and influenced him to pursue work in the movie industry.

"I never planned a career in film. I don't know anyone who grew up in the 70s in Lewisham who did. It just wasn't realistic. Theatre was. I grew up watching and loving film but it was this other world – movie stars were like Newman and Mitchum and McQueen. And then this amazing crop of actors - Tim Roth, Gary Oldman and Daniel Day-Lewis - came along," Jude revealed to British newspaper the Guardian. "Tim and Gary were round the corner from where I lived. That was very, very, very influential for me. I remember seeing Daniel Day-Lewis in My Beautiful Launderette and thinking: 'Oh, film can be part of my world as well.'"

Jude Law Leads Brit Hopes At Berlin Film Festival (SKY NEWS)

Among the contenders for the Golden Bear top film award is Steven Soderbergh's Side Effects, which stars Jude Law and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Soderbergh has said that Side Effects is to be his last movie, and it tackles the world of prescribed drugs, with Law playing a Manhattan doctor who tries to help a depressed wife by giving her a new superdrug.

Also in contention in Berlin is Prince Avalanche, starring Paul Rudd and the fracking drama Promised Land, which features Matt Damon.

New Dreamworks 3D animation The Croods has also debuted at the festival, with Nicola Cage, Ryan Reynolds and Emma Stone among those providing voices in the prehistoric comedy.

The Berlin prize can raise the profile of low-budget films to a global audience and is an important event in the movie calendar.

Away from the bigger Hollywood films, the impact of Europe-wide austerity measures has provided inspiration for film-makers from countries hardest hit by the financial crisis.

Jude Law, 'Side Effects' Star, Puts London Home Up for Sale (AOL REAL ESTATE)

One of the "Side Effects" of being a celebrity as hot as Jude Law? You tend to go through homes pretty quickly. At the tail end of 2010, he and then-on-again (now-off-again) girlfriend Sienna Miller settled in London's star-studded Highgate neighborhood. Then, last March, he was reportedly apartment hunting for a $10,000-and-up rental in New York City. Now, he's putting his sweet Georgian townhouse in London's posh Maida Vale neighborhood up for sale for $6.8 million, The Real Estalker reported. (That's converted from the 4.35 million pounds that it's listed for in British currency.)

We're wondering why he's cutting the townhouse loose now after all the trouble that he went through to make it his own. He rented the place for four years before finally buying it from his landlord for 3.5 million pounds, according to The Evening Standard in London. Then, he had to get his plans for extensive renovation to the place approved by neighbors, which he did last September. And now -- poof! -- he just tosses it away (albeit at a hefty price)?
