John Wayne's True Grit - A Coen Bros remake
Looks like the Coen brothers are going back to western based thrillers after the comedy Burn After Reading.
Oscar-winning No Country for Old Men directors Joel and Ethan Coen will remake the classic western True Grit for their next film, according to Variety. The original starred the mighty John Wayne, who played an aging U.S. Marshal who, along with a 14 year old girl, tracked the killer of the teen's father in hostile Indian territory. Apparently, the Coen's will revisit the original source material (a novel by Charles Portis) and switch the perspective to the girl's point of view.

Never had any time for John Wayne so interested in a retelling.
Coen Bros dont always get it right but when they do its usually fantastic.

If not for Glen Campbell True Grit would have been perfect. A remake seems a not very worthwhile endeavor.

In what is shaping up as a potential “Big Lebowski” reunion, Jeff Bridges is in discussions with Paramount to star for Joel and Ethan Coen in “True Grit,” playing the role that won John Wayne an Oscar in the 1969 film.
Bridges, who last worked with the Coens when he turned in a heralded performance as Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski, is in talks to play the lead role in the iconic Western that the Coens are mounting as their next project. The picture, which also reunited the Coens with their “No Country for Old Men” producing partner Scott Rudin, has been redrafted by the Coens to be more faithful to the Charles Portis novel that the original film was based on. In it, a 14 year old girl tags along with an aging U.S. marshal and another lawman to track the outlaw who killed her father. The trail leads them into hostile Indian territory. The original told the story from Cogburn’s vantage point, but the new version will work from the viewpoint of the young girl. Kim Darby played the young girl in the original, and Glen Campbell played the other lawman. The Coens premiere “A Serious Man” at the Toronto Film Festival. Bridges most recently starred in “The Men Who Stare At Goats” and reprised in “Tron Legacy.”
