Jeff Bridges Re-Teams with Coen Brothers for "True Grit" Remake

the dude abides

"shut the fuck up donny!" im insanely glad the coen brothers havent really stopped pumping out movies! the dude abides! cant wait for A Serious Man

El duderino, you know... If you're not into thst whole brevity thing....

Fuck yeah man.. Bridges was always a favorite of mine, he definitely got thrown way up the ladder with lebowski... This sounds awesome.

Bridges could pull this off!

bridges is a great choice

mark it 8 dude... fuck yeah,, the cohens have never had a miss in my book.... loved the book as well so this is a guaranteed must see...

The Ladykillers and Burn After Reading were pretty questionable in my book, but that just my opinion. All of the other Coen Bros. movies are pretty on point. I'm very eager to see Bridges team up with them again. The Big Lebowski and the original True Grit are 2 of the best films ever made so naturally I got high hopes for this remake.

He's their Deniro.

actually I would say that goodman or turturro are their deniro... they are in most of their films...

Dont forget about Clooney. Who needs a Deniro when you've got a Clooney? I wish they could work with Hanks again. He was the only redeeming thing about Laykillers and seems to handle their special prose well.

o Wow

A western by the Coens? I'm in it!

I hope they make a Dude Marshal with a Walt cameo, maybe playing an indian, right?

This will be good but we shouldn't expect anything less from two of the most solid filmmakers in the last 20 years.

I agree with you SacDaddy but I re-watched Burn after Reading, it was much better the second time. There's something about that movie I really like, I can't put my finger on it but its oddly funny.

Burn after Reading felt like a Pulp Fiction to me without the gangsters. And I agree... it was oddly funny (well put).

I'm not a fan of remakes of movies from the past greats of Hollywood. But, I'll remain open-minded to see how this turns out.

@cjwalk36: Never really wanted to see it again but maybe I should. I didn't like seeing Frances McDormand play such a flawed character. That really bothered me after seeing her in so many commanding roles. She played it well but it takes too much of the fun out of the film for me. I'll try it again sometime though.

I wonder if this was the film the Coen's were talking about last year with Indian scalping in it...Because QT just beat them to that.

I never cared for the Dude- I don't really understand the cult attention for that film. I'd rewatch Barton Fink before that one...

@lostwarrior

Isn't Steve Buscemi there most used actor?

well buscemi was in five and so was goodman but turturro was was in 4 of them so its goodman and buscemi that have been in the most cohen brother films...

I dont usually like remakes, but I'd be OK with western remakes.
There is a slew of westerns I wouldnt mind seeing redone. But True Grit is one of my absolute favourites along with the sequel Rooster Cogburn, so I wouldnt want to se it touched.
However, the Cohen Bros. and Jeff Bridges make a good combo, so I wouldnt mind seeing this. Jeff would make a good Rooster Cogburn, anybody remember his Wild Bill?

Dakota Fanning

they should put this photo in the dictionary under the phrase:"fake smile"

Isn't their most used actor, if were talking male and female, Frances McDormand?...

On AND off screen... yes.

@ranger.. That was.... Mildy entertaining.
