New Tru Grit Movie

[Bondhead88]

C'mon do we really need to remake every decent movie that was ever made.

Jeff Bridges playing a role immortalized by John Wayne?

They already killed the Omega Man, The Longest Yard & Walking Tall, now True Grit..Please Do Not make any Old Yeller remakes.

I want some of my childhood memories to remain. Someone needs to tell Hollywood to make some original scripts and leave the classics alone.

I heard they were doing a remake of Shane, with Lil' Wayne playing the lead.





Just kiddin'. Sorry.

I predicted Jeff Bridges would be Rooster, he can do anything. Supposedly the first one didn't follow the book. I don't read fiction prdinarily but I may read that just to see if this effort is worth it.

I didn't like the first one. John Wayne phoned that performance in. It was like a Disney movie before they went to the dark side. He reminded me of Fess Parker as Daniel Boone or Johhny Depp as John Dillinger.

I actually thought the original was the second worse John Wayne movie. A close second to Hatari!

HEATHENS!

On the fence ,one of my favorite one liners is in true grit but Jeff Bridges might reintroduce the cowboy genre movie to a new audience

The Duke on his worst day is better than Jeff Bridges on his best.

There must be a million different western screen plays to pick from so remaking John Wayne's westerns just doesn't seem right. I'm old and grew up on John Wayne movies, he is an American Icon, best remembered as he was.

I don't like the idea either. There will always be one John Wayne. BUT, I do think Jeff Bridges will do a good job. I don't think he will disappoint.

Hatari wasn't even third... The Quiet Man, Jet Pilot, and worst of all The Conqueror

Hey you leave the Quiet Man alone. I love that movie.

"Here's a stick to beat the nice lady with sir." I was laughing so hard I almost popped a rib!

There has never been a truer statement ever uttered on this forum

Hollywood should come up with some new ideas instead of ripping off the classics

You all will have to tell us if Bridges does OK; I won't go to see that movie.

Just took the family to so the new Harry Potter movie. Watched previews for True Grit, Tron, the Green Hornet, and the Lantern. Not an original idea in sight. What's next, remakes of Zardoz and Attack of the Killer Tomatoes? Oh well, at least Glen Campbell isn't in the new True Grit.

 

[TB1999]

I saw the preview for True Grit when I went to Paranormal Activity 2. I thought it looked pretty good. I guess I'm too young to be so in love with the original that I won't go see the remake.

The Duke is getting replaced by The Dude?

 

[Cain71]

Pure sacrilige.

I introduced my son, now 12, to The Duke years ago. We visit Ouray Colorado every other year where much of True Grit was filmed. I am not a Bridges fan, but it's better than some of the other choices like Cruise and Pitt which, thankfully, aren't old enough to do the job. What I got a kick out of is Barry Pepper is playing Ned Pepper.
