Brad Pitt had it written into his contract that the studio could not change the name of the film 'The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford'

“We went back and forth on a number of things,” he notes, “but it was not until this film that it clicked.” Pitt signed on as both star and producer. “He's powerful and he's not afraid to use it. Brad had it put in his contract that they couldn't change the title. He can be the best friend you have, but when we fought it was bloody.”Source: via /r/movies https://ift.tt/39oOEOO
