True Grit remake by the Coens
Now this is interesting:
Title: True Grit Logline: A 14-year-old girl along with an aging U.S. marshal and another lawman, tracks her father’s killer in hostile Indian territory. Writer: Joel Coen Ethan Coen Agency: United Talent Agency United Talent Agency Studio: Paramount Pictures Prod. Co: Rudin Productions, Scott Genre: Western Logged: 3/23/2009 More: Remake of the 1969 film, but will be more faithful to the book by Charles Portis. Scott Rudin will produce. The Coens will direct. Paramount’s Adam Goodman will oversee.
If someone was going to remake True Grit, glad it’s the Coens. Per Daily Variety:
Not a traditional remake, the Paramount film will be more faithful to the Charles Portis book than the 1969 pic, also distributed by Par.
But while the original film was a showcase for Wayne, the Coens’ version will tell the tale from the girl’s p.o.v.
As a point of reference, here’s the trailer for the original version of the movie:
