'Jane Got a Gun' is an upcoming Western-drama film featuring Natalie Portman as a gun slinging cowgirl Jane Hammond seeking to protect her family. The recently released official international trailer also showed clips of Ewan McGregor as Colin McCann, leader of the villainous Bishop Boys gang.

The international trailer for Portman's latest Western film with McGregor, Joel Edgerton and Noah Emmerich has finally been revealed to the waiting public. The teaser posted on Coming Soon showed various scenes of Portman wielding a gun and pursuing an infamous local gang to protect her family in the violent new Western directed by Gavin O'Connor. The filmmaker is known for previous work on films such as 'Warrior', 'Pride and Glory', 'Miracle', 'Tumbleweeds' and 'Comfortably Numb'.

According to Slate, the film revolves around the titular Jane Hammond who finds herself turning to her ex-fiance Dan Frost for help after a notorious gang called the Bishop Boys torment her outlaw husband Bill. Edgerton plays Jane's ex-fiance Dan, Emmerich plays Bill and McGregor plays Colin of the Bishop Boys.

The upcoming film sees the return of Portman and McGregor sharing an on-screen collaboration, adding to their already growing list of films together including three 'Star Wars' installments: 'Episode I: Phantom Menace', 'Episode II: Attack of the Clones', and 'Episode III: Revenge of the Sith'.

According to Cinema Blend, 'Jane Got A Gun' was initially scheduled for release on August 2014 but went through several complications along the way. Director Lynne Ramsey was originally tagged to helm the film but backed out in 2013 due to an ugly lawsuit between director and producers. Michael Fassbender, Jude Law and Bradley Cooper were also some of the Hollywood A-listers involved with the project at some point.

'Jane Got A Gun' is an upcoming Western action-drama film scheduled to be released in February 2016. It is directed by Gavin O'Connor and written by Brian Duffield, Anthony Tambakis and Joel Edgerton. Other cast members include Rodrigo Santoro, Boyd Holbrook, Alex Manette, Todd Stashwick, James Burnett and Sam Quinn.
