The Coen Brothers' are set to write and direct a remake of the John Wayne classic True Grit. This is the film that won John Wayne an Oscar. Of course, Peter O'Toole should have won that year for The Lion In Winter...but, that's another story entirely.
It looks like the new version of Grit, will follow the book more faithfully. The story evolves through the eyes of Mattie, a fourteen year old girl out for revenge.
I don't know about you, but I'm psyched to see what Ethan and Joel will do with this one.
And the big question of the day? Who will play Rooster? Please speculate!

Don't you think they'll cast Tommy Lee Jones?
Good chance of it...yes. And he'd be great. Unless they want to go younger...Josh Brolin younger.
Anyone know how old he was in the book?
I agree about them casting TLJ or someone unexpected a la Tarantino and Pam Grier, John Travolta and David Carradine.
So would Kevin Kline be out of the question? Or, I don't know, how about Kevin Costner, Cint Eastwood?
Oops1 That was Clint Eastwood.
