The "True Grit" remake, is directed by the Coen brothers. Jeff Bridges, is going to play the same role that won John Wayne an Oscar for the 1969 original.
The story centers on a 14-year-old girl (Hailee Steinfeld) who joins the aging US marshal, Rooster Cogburn , and another lawman to track the outlaw who killed her father. The original told the story from Cogburn's point of view, but the new version will be from the viewpoint of the girl.
The new movie will be closer to the Charles Portis novel on which the original film was based. It co-stars Matt Damon and Josh Brolin, and is scheduled to hit theaters this Christmas (December 25th).
Cast:
Matt Damon ... La Boeuf
Jeff Bridges ... Marshal Reuben J. Cogburn
Josh Brolin ... Tom Chaney
Barry Pepper ... 'Lucky' Ned Pepper 
Domhnall Gleeson ... Moon
Hailee Steinfeld ... Mattie Ross

Paul, I understand where you are coming from, but... I do not seem to mind a good Western remake. :)
