Brad Pitt's Pompadour: New Stills From 'Cogan's Trade'

Way back last May, we saw the first image from Cogan's Trade, starring International Movie Star® Brad Pitt as the title character, Jackie Cogan. Since the protagonist is a professional dealer in violence as a mafia enforcer, Pitt looked appropriately unscrupulous, sporting a greasy sorta-pompadour, tough guy leather jacket, and a giant shotgun.

After months of hearing nothing about film, several new images from the film have emerged online today. One eliminates the threatening shotgun but goes in closer on Pitt's profitably handsome face, while another provides our very first look at Ray Liotta playing the card game that forms the crux of the Cogan's Trade plot. Yet another offers the first look at James Gandolfini wearing some sweet tea-shades.

Both of these stills, along with a repost of that first image from May, debuted at Kinopoisk.ru. If you want to see even more, including a look at another pivotal character, head over there to check it out.

Cogan's Trade reunites Pitt with his The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford director Andrew Dominik. It's only the third feature from the Australian native who made an impressive debut with 2000's unstoppably energetic Chopper. Dominik penned the screenplay, adapting the novel by George V. Higgins. The story finds Pitt's Jackie Cogan tasked with investigating just what happened at a high-stakes, big money poker game that ends up getting bamboozled.

Pitt's obviously a selling point, but Dominik's working with an incredible supporting cast. There are the aforementioned likes of James Gandolfini and Ray Liotta, as well as ringers like Sam Shepard, Richard Jenkins, Garrett Dillahunt, Bella Heathcote, Trevor Long, and Ben Mendelsohn.
