I was mildly irritated when I heard the Coen brothers were remaking True Grit. Maybe it was just residual frustration at the remake of Let the Right One In. Anyway, I saw the trailer for the new True Grit last week, and I can’t get it out off my head.
John Wayne is a legend, and it’s hard for me to imagine Jeff Bridges pulling Rooster Cogburn off. But having seen a little sneak peek, I’m completely sold. And having Matt Damon in Glen Campbell’s role has to be considered a huge upgrade.
I think this will be an amazing movie, and I can’t wait to see it. Is it Christmas yet?
