After nearly a year and a half wait, Mad Men has finally returned. Don and the boys are back on TV and back at the center of water cooler conversations in offices and on the web. Yet we've seen little of January Jones, who plays the ever-mopey Betty Francis. Jones, who played the chilly Emma Frost is last year's X-Men: First Class, was absent from the show's two-hour long season premiere, and has scored few appearances since then. Now with news that she's shifted Emmy categories—from lead to supporting actress—it seems likely Jones will be spending less time on the set of Mad Men, leaving her more time to tackle film roles. Lucky us.

Deadline reports Jones has just signed on to star opposite four-time Oscar nominee Ed Harris in the western Sweetwater. Set in 1886 in the thick of the New Mexico Territory, the drama centers on a young widow (Jones) who seeks revenge on the cruel sheep rancher who murdered her husband, no matter what it takes. Harris will play the local sheriff who decides help her avenge her fallen spouse.

The film will be the follow-up to writing/directing team Logan and Noah Miller's semi-autobiographical debut Touching Home, in which Harris starred as a deadbeat dad desperately struggling to reconnect to his grown sons. Though underseen, the film did draw critical praise, and clearly impressed Harris enough to want to work with the pair again. Harris, with his brooding expression and penetrating gaze, is a great fit for a western, but I have to admit, I worry about Jones.

I know she's won acclaim for her work on Mad Men, but she's left me cold. Blame the fact that Betty can be pretty annoying. Blame Jones' lifeless appearance on Saturday Night Live or her dead-eyed and dull take on ultimate ice queen Emma Frost. I just don't get her appeal. Yes, she's pretty, but set in the wild west, it's not like the Millers will be able to put her in slinky, barely-there clothes to justify her casting. Still, maybe they've seen something in her I haven't yet. As I'm intrigue by the premise and encouraged by Harris' involvement, I do hope so.

Sweetwater will begin production this July in New Mexico.

影片故事以1886年新墨西哥州为背景。詹纽瑞·琼斯饰演一位年轻寡妇，她的丈夫被一个大农场主谋害，为了报仇，她冒着所有风险踏上复仇之路。艾德·哈里斯在片中将饰演一名司法长官，帮助詹纽瑞达成复仇的心愿。

2008年，艾德·哈里斯曾与这对双胞胎兄弟导演合作过《逐梦奇迹》。当时，两兄弟为了拍摄一部自传性电影纪念他们在狱中去世的父亲，因为没钱也没人脉，只好到旧金山“堵”到艾德·哈里斯，并费尽唇舌找到得奖连连的工作团队，打造了这部关于家人之间的亲情联系与救赎的电影。
