Man I must have had way too many Caucasions. Just found out the
Coens are doing a remake of True Grit with Jeff Bridges as Rooster Cogburn.
Also involved Matt Damon and Josh Brolin.
Far out man!
Says they are still casting the female lead.

Looks awesome, dude. I just hope they stay true the Duke's classic "True Grit" and not offer us a compromised second draft.
Given the reputation for quality the brothers C have, the leads all look promising. Sounds like they're working shifts down at the film lab.
Yeah, do not make Rooster Cogburn a kind of paraquat. Or the Duke either. It would be an unchecked aggression. Ok, maybe I saw too many John Wayne's movies. ;D
