An example of when a remake can be a good thing......

Coming off the heels of the Oscar winning No Country For Old Men, the Coens shot the relatively low key movie A Serious Man.  So where to next?  In a surprise move, they announced that their next movie would be an update of the Charles Portis novel TRUE GRIT.  Filmed once before, it was an Oscar winning role for the legendary John Wayne, and is rightly revered as a classic.  So the Coens have a lot to live up to.

The first trailer was released in the last few days, and it looks gorgeous.  If you want a modern day actor who is big enough to fill 'The Duke's' boots, then you need to look no further than 'The Dude' Jeff Bridges.  And when you round out your cast with Matt Damon and Josh Brolin, you know you're onto a winner.  Check it out.  Looking forward to Oscar season this year......
