{Link at site} Maggie looks too young/sweet, but I think if I don't compare it to the original it might not be too bad. :)

I agree. They must have run out of ideas if they have to do a remake.

Have you ever read the book. Very slim volume. Very oddly spoken English. Did anyone ever speak like this in real life?

There is NO way that the original film can be equaled. It was one of the finest westerns ever made.

Read it in high school, but I don’t remember the specifics of it. One of my all-time favorite Westerns though. :)

I don’t think remakes are a good idea for the quirky, unique movies the Coen Brothers produce.
Better to stick with new ideas.

If John Wayne movies are remade, Muslims will be OUTRAGED!

It DOES look good! Of all people, Jeff Bridges would not have been my first choice for Rooster—but it just might work!
I’m still upset at what happened to Glen Campbell’s character in the original—I had such a teenage crush on him, and cried and cried! :*(

In the original novel she was fourteen, unlike Kim Darby in the 1969 movie.

Looks like good choices of actors to play the characters. If there had not been an original, it might be a great movie; however the original is superlative (with the possible exception of Glenn Campbell, who seems miscast).
There was no reason for a remake.

Oh yea, I liked it very much too.
Wiki says published in ‘68. Later than I thought.
