While news about Jesse James crawled its way across 19th century America -- compared to today's lightning-fast Internet -- the tone was uncannily comparable to today's celebrity coverage, Brad Pitt found in reading those old accounts.

"I will say, I was surprised to see how tabloid journalism was alive and well even then and operating in the same way, just sensationalizing a complete fabrication of untruths," said Brad Pitt, who stars as the legendary outlaw in "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford."

"There's just more of it today. There's more of it in quantity, but the execution's the same.
