First, Springfield lost out in the competition for which Springfield would host the grand opening of the new Simpson’s movie. Now it appears St. Joseph, where Jesse James was killed, has lost out on getting the grand opening of a new Jesse James movie – "The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford."
