Relativity Media has set a US date for Jane Got A Gun, the long-gestating Western starring Natalie Portman that made headlines last year due to the comings and goings of director and stars.

The film will now open theatrically on February 20, 2015. 

Portman plays the titular character who tries to escape her nemesis when her husband is injured in a shoot-out by resorting to the help of an old flame.

Ewan McGregor, Joel Edgerton and Noah Emmerich star.

Gavin O’Connor directs the Western after replacing the UK’s Lynne Ramsay, who walked out on the first day of shooting.

The film had previously been set to star, at various times, Michael Fassbender, Bradley Cooper and Jude Law.

A law suit between the producers and Ramsay went away when the parties settled out of court in March.
