{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. :)

"Oh, mon diuex, have they, at long last, like so many one trick ponys, jumped the shark?"

Looks like it’s going to suck.

[Mojave]

Meh.

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

[RexBeach]

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

Matt Damon as the Texas Ranger? Gotta be better that Glen Campbell...

[EyeGuy]

I don’t think remakes are a good idea for the quirky, unique movies the Coen Brothers produce.

Better to stick with new ideas.

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.

Yet another remake.Did all the John Wayne DVD's explode?

[me1og]

I’ll buy a ticket.

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.

Bruce Dern bump.

[jazminerose]

I LOVED that movie when I was a kid.

I can’t imagine a remake without John Wayne could compare.

Some things should be left alone - they simply cannot be improved upon. This is one of them.

[Califreak]

I’m looking forward to this.

Thanks for posting.

The Duke discovers they are remaking True Grit

[Huck]

YES! I’ve been waiting for the trailer. And hey, naysayers, give it a chance. I’m a fan of the original True Grit. It’s a seriously gutsy choice for a remake. Love the Coen bros. I think Bridges is a good choice. Supposedly there version is closer to the book. Glad to see the Western still alive. Rock on Coen Bros!

“O Rooster Where Art Thou”

[Republic of Texas]

I didn’t realize the first one needed to be re-made.
