Or Maybe This One Is Even Worser
Categories: uncategorized
Following up on yesterday’s Bad Hollywood Idea comes word of the Coen Brothers’ next project: a remake of the John Wayne classic True Grit. According to Cinematical:
According to Variety, the Coen Bros aren’t aiming for a traditional remake — they want to return to the original Charles Portis novel, and make a more faithful adaptation. Their version will be told from Mattie’s point of view, as the original novel is, and keep Cogburn as a side player. The Coens will undoubtedly amp up the Biblical tone and include the darker elements … like what really happens to her after the snakebite.
Plans to remake True Grit have apparently been in the works for some time — it originally begun at DreamWorks, but was left behind when Steven Spielberg and his shingle split with Paramount. Undaunted by the task, the Coens are tackling it before their adaptation of Michael Chabon’s The Yiddish Policeman’s Union.
Well, I suppose however you feel about it, you’ve gotta admit the brothers have grit… (Yeah, DS, I went there..)
