The story centers on a woman (Natalie Portman) who must defend her farm when her outlaw husband returns home after a gunfight at death's door. With his gang--led by John Bishop (Jude Law) coming to kill them, she seeks the help of an ex-lover (Joel Edgerton) to defend themselves. Rodrigo Santoro will play a character named Fitchum.
Producer Scott Steindorff says the incident is the result of a last minute attempt by Ramsay's lawyer to renegotiate terms.
As it turns out--Ramsay was managed by Jessica Steindorff, Scott's daughter.
"My father Scott Steindorff prevails under extreme amounts of stress and the show will go on," Steindorff told the Huffington Post via email. "Sorry, but in this town it's family first." Steindorff also wrote that she no longer manages Ramsay.
The news follows a recent casting shift that happened when Michael Fassbender dropped out after having a reported falling-out with Ramsey.
Brian Duffield wrote the script which forced a bidding war at the Cannes Film Festival and also made last year's annual Black List of best unproduced screenplays.
Portman, Scott Steindorff, Terry Dougas and Chris Coen are producing.
