EXCLUSIVE: Mad Men‘s January Jones and Ed Harris have signed to star in Sweetwater, a film that will be directed by Logan and Noah Miller and will start production July in New Mexico. Set against the backdrop of 1886 New Mexico Territory, a young widow (Jones) risks all to avenge her husband’s murder at the hands of a brutal sheep rancher. Harris plays the town sheriff who helps Jones avenge her husband’s death. The film is being produced by Jason Netter. Harris previously worked with the directors on Touching Home, playing a role based on their real father (the Millers played themselves in the film). Harris is concurrently filming Look Of Love with Annette Bening and the Michael Bay-directed Pain And Gain with Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg. Jones is repped by UTA and Mosaic, Harris by CAA. WME reps the filmmakers.


I think her sort of affectless acting style will work well in an art film. She has that Catherine Deneuve vibe.
America needs to see more of January Jones.
Did any of you see January Jones on SNL or X-Men First Class ? She is a very limited actress.
All I really want to know is whether JJ be back for the XMFC sequel or not? If Vaughn is on board and the rumors are to be believed it’s not looking likely.
Sweetwater?
Just like him to call that stinking piece of desert Sweetwater.
She’s a terrific actress and anyone who says she can’t act is missing the point of her performances–and she is LONG overdue for awards for her MAD MEN work.
Some thing “talent” is subjective, and that’s totally their right. But for those of use who do not think that way, shes very one-note
America needs to see less of January Jones. You could replace her with a mannequin and no one would see the difference. Hire an actress.
This sounds like the first interesting thing she’s signed on for since Mad Men.
January is in the X Man sequel!!! She is also fantastic in MM and as for the critism of her being too cold in X Men…she was the ” Ice” Queen. What did you expect. She is a beauty and a real talent.
