Robert Duvall looked as healthy as the horse he rode in on ... at a "Lonesome Dove" reunion Thursday ... despite reports he'd suffered a stroke.

The real deal -- we're told Duvall's been in Florida with his wife, Luciana, for the last 4 months ... and he's working on casting a new film in which he'll also star.
Bobby D. hung with ex 'Lonesome' co-stars Danny Glover and Ricky Schroder at the reunion, and also gave a speech to honor the classic TV mini-series.

Elle Fanning I'm Hitching My Wagon to Ben Affleck
Elle Fanning has scored a sweet payday for her role in Ben Affleck's next directorial effort.
Fanning will pull in $250,000 for playing Loretta Figgis in the movie, "Live by Night." The paperwork was filed with an L.A. County judge, who must approve the contract because she's only 17.
Fanning can make extra if the movie does really well at the worldwide box office -- she'll get an additional $75k if the flick pulls in $300 million, and an additional $100k if it tops $400 mil.
Unless they change the title to "Batman: Live by Night" ... this flick probably won't reach blockbuster status. Nevertheless, Elle struck a good deal.

Rian Johnson is as cold-blooded as Boba Fett ... so claims his ex-agent who says the director axed him right before he signed on to direct "Star Wars: Episode VIII" ... just to dodge the bill.
Brian Dreyfuss claims in a new lawsuit he took on Johnson as a client before the guy ever directed a single film ... even getting his own dad to invest in Johnson's debut flick, "Brick."

According to the suit, Kathleen Kennedy from Lucasfilm hit up Dreyfuss in January 2014 to gauge Johnson's interest in working together. Dreyfuss says Johnson declined the meeting.

Dreyfuss is suing Johnson for the 10% he believes he's owed for 'Star Wars.'
