OH. MY. GOD. this may not look like much to some people, but anyone who knows what this is should be freaking out right now. For those of you who don't know, "True Grit" is the next movie from Joel and Ethan Coen who have made some of the best movies ever in the past two decades such as "Fargo", "The Big Lebowski", "Raising Arizona", "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", "No Country for Old Men", etc. Also for those of you who don't know, that's Jeff "the Dude" Bridges as Marshal Reuben Cogburn in his first movie with the Coens since "The Big Lebowski". To top it all off, the cast includes Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, and Barry Pepper. "True Grit" is based on a book that was already adapted into a movie back in 1969 with John Wayne in an Oscar-winning performance as Cogburn. Word has it that this updated version will be more like the book and more violent and dark than the Wayne version. I think we all know what that means.....mix in some "No Country for Old Men" violence/darkness with even more of a Western feel along the lines of "Unforgiven" with a visual twist that only the Coens can deliver. This and Alejandro Inarritu's "Biutiful" are probably my most anticipated movies of the winter so far. We'll see what else arises and what other movies try to squeeze into the December slot in time for the awards season. In the meantime, just look at this picture a bit more and fathom the awesomeness.
