John Wayne's True Grit - A Coen Bros remake

Looks like the Coen brothers are going back to western based thrillers after the comedy Burn After Reading.

Oscar-winning No Country for Old Men directors Joel and Ethan Coen will remake the classic western True Grit for their next film, according to Variety.

The original starred the mighty John Wayne, who played an aging U.S. Marshal who, along with a 14 year old girl, tracked the killer of the teen's father in hostile Indian territory.

Apparently, the Coen's will revisit the original source material (a novel by Charles Portis) and switch the perspective to the girl's point of view.
