You can’t replace JOhn Wayne with a fruitcake.
It will be a floop.
Bold talk for a one eyed fat man.
Wasn’t it the Coen brothers who produced “Oh Brother Where Art Thou”?
I was horrified to hear of a remake of True Grit. It simply doesn’t need to be done. Don’t mess with the Duke.
But then again... I’m a *huge* Coen brothers fan. I love every one of their movies. They capture characters so vividly... like nobody else. If it’s really a retelling of the book, moreso than a remake of Wayne’s portrayal... maybe it will work.
John Wayne is irreplaceable. That said, I think Jeff Bridges could do a creditable job playing Rooster Cogburn. I’m really curious to see how the rest of the cast shapes up.
Will never (again) watch anything with Matt Damon in it.
I don’t know about better but I think Tom Selleck would do a fine job in that role.
Most interesting Wayne “sequel” is his own remake of his own film.
Was it Rio Bravo first, followed by Rio Lobo?
First movie had Dean Martin as the sidekick, Walter Brennan and ?Ricky Martin?
Second movie has Robert Mitchum and James Caan, but it’s the same story.
If anybody could put a fresh spin on it and get a good performance out of Bridges (who really is a decent actor), it’s the Coens.
Hey, at least M. Night Shamalamadingdong isn’t doing it.

...Joel and Ethan Coen would been making their own version....
...
would been? Idiots writing copy again.
Hollywood has given up on improving perfection, they hope people will come see a pale reflection now.
But since they brought it up, they chose the wrong actor. There are a number of obvious western actors that would have been an obvious pick.
A non obvious pick that I think would have been great, Bruce Campbell, yep, Brisco County Ash Jr. is the guy they should have picked.
