The Coen brothers' next film will be a remake of True Grit, the 1969 western which won John Wayne his only Oscar, Variety reports.
The original movie was a star vehicle for the Duke, but the Coens are said to be planning a version closer to Charles Portis's 1968 novel, told from the point of view of a 14-year-old girl who hires a grizzled gunman to help find her father's killer.
I have news for you guys: the John Wayne version of True Grit was one of the more faithful movie versions of a book that I've ever seen from Hollywood.
You guys are just trying to cash in on a popular title. Why not just have Will Smith star in the remake? Black versions of popular movies seems to be the norm, these days.

What could possibly go wrong?
I don't know why you scoff, The Ladykillers turned out so well what could go wrong. The only question is how they'll get some fart jokes into the plot.
Ronsonic: It's easy, they'll just have Chin Lee make up a mess of beans as trail food instead of "corn dodgers."
My major worry is that they'll cast George Clooney as Rooster.
